Default Loud Exhaust

I want a loud mean exhaust on my 2005 Corvette.
The shop I went to suggested a Magna Flow for $700 or a Flowmaster for $1400. Which one should I do?

B&B bullets, hands down. PS... You are in the wrong section.

I second the bullets or the slp, or even the borla stingers. Stay away from Magnaflow and flowmaster if you are wanting loud. If you have LT's that would help a ton.

O God my B&B Bullets are horrendously loud. If you drive the car everyday I would suggest a more mild exhaust. I don't care what anyone says...these suckers drone.

I drive my car every day, but I can not stand for it to be so quite. I'll try the B&B Bullets. Time for a change.

I couldn't either. The exhaust had to be the first thing to go. I went with the B&B bullets and love it. Should of been this loud stock if you ask me.

BB Bullets, Borla Stingers, GHL, Corsa Indy those are the best loud cat backs. Each system sounds distinct, so listen to all of them and decide which you like best.

PS- If you want it loud headers are really going to open it up.

I had SLP Loudmouths and they were just to darn loud. Went with Borla's instead.

Not that it matters but do you know your in the C5 Section?

I have Magnaflows on mine Vette and they are not very loud at all, they just make the rear of my car look much better then the crappy stock exhaust.

I would have also of guess the prices you have of the Magnaflows and Flowmaster switched around.

Yes, I noticed after I posted. I did post this question in the C6 section where it is supposed to be.
Been getting a good feedback. Thanks everybody!

SLP Loudmouth is the loudest with the bullets in second.

AR LT Headers + AR O/R X pipe + Borla Stingers dual tip exhaust = Really REALLY loud and very exotic sounding under WOT. I love mine.

I had that setup at one time with SLP Loudmouth, which has no muffler, and it sounded like a stock car it was so loud.
