Ignore the HP Gains, you aren't going to see anything significant with an aftermarket exhaust. Pick the one that sounds/looks the best.

You have a Z06 and you may end up slowing the car down by taking off that nice light titanium exhaust and putting on a heavy stainless steel one. Many people opt to add Z06 exhausts to their stock C5's to get a better sound and flow. (I ams considering that route)

b&b. Better price. Louder sound. Lighter. What more could you ask for.

Maybe he could ask for a quieter muffler. My Indy Pace car Corsas are on the edge of "obnoxious" when at WOT... I would've probably gone with the Touring, or Magnaflow, or z06 ti if I had to do it again.
