Default HELP ME DECIDE!!!!!

I appreciate you guys who responded to my post regarding help finding the proper exhaust. After speaking with a few shops on the phone I have come to a decision between two set ups TO START WITH. Maybe you guys can help me decide
1) GHL bullet Exhaust System $849.00
Cooks Headers and X pipe and Cats $1549.00
Haltech Intake $ 450.00
Hypertech 160 degree thermostat $59.95
TR 55 Iridium Plugs $11.50 ea
MSD 8.5 mm Wires $79.95

2) Borla Stingers quad tips $649.00
LG Pro longtubes headers $1895
Magnaflow X pipe $259
Haltech Intake $450
Hypertech 160 degree thermostat $59.95
TR55 Iridium Plus $11.50 ea
MSD 8.5 wires $79.95

Which exhaust sounds better with limited cockpit noise?
Also any information about the Predator power programmer!
-Thanks

I like option #2 except for the exhaust. Stock is extremely good. A&A Corvettes has an inexpensive mod that is done to the exhaust that makes it louder. IMHO that is mostly what is accomplished with other exhaust, but if you must I like Borla best. Loose the Haltech and get a Vararam from Exit-28 for $345.00 OTD. Skip the programmer and get LS1 Edit done on the Dyno. {Just my $00.02} There will be no limited cockpit noise with the for mentioned, they are both loud. :yesnod:

# 2 but save the $ and leave out the therm, plugs, and ignition unless you're going into the engine down the road....
