Default help on cat-back choice please....

just installed lgm lt and catted pipe on car,now need help with the cat-back.prefered sound is a nice low big block chev sound with quiet cruise inside car.but off course at wot you must wake up your sleepy town.GHL is hot now as everyone knows,but those small cans gotta be loud at any throttle.is this true???? BORLA looks good too,same concern with these stinger systems,small cans???? LPE shows a full muffler borla,is this cat-back a good choice.to far away from Texas to listen in person,any help much.

I'm partial to the two-tip Stingers. Not loud enough, IMO.

If you are concerned about the smaller cans, GHL Bullets come with a 6" can. They are more expensive than the magnums, but they aren't as loud. Don't think they are as loud as Borla or Corsa. IMO, the "tone" is somewhere in between those two. What's "too loud" or "not loud enough" is so subjective, you need to hear them for yourself.
