Default exhaust dilemma

i was all gun-ho about getting a magnaflow catback system until bbls1 put second thoughts in my head so now ive have 3 different exhausts im looking at. Magnaflow, Corsa, and B&B. the magnaflow i was looking at was model #15754 (5x8x18, 3"in, 2.5 duel out) for a 5.3.

I like the three of them because they're all SS, and all have great reputations. im not looking to be heard 3 blocks away, or even scare old people! just a nice aggressive rumble, and ofcorse a boost in performance.

I drive this truck ALOT so i want VERY LITTLE interrior resination, but also want a good aggressive sound on the exterrior i drive it about 500+- per week and most of it is on the frwy @ about 1800-2000rpm. dont want to drive myself nuts if ya know what i mean.

does anyone have any input? sound wise, performance wise, looks wise, or anything wise. from the looks of it ill never get exhaust because i cant make up my fuggin mind!

Default Look Around at Dealerships For a Demo Ride

Lots of GM dealers are getting demos and\or purchasing catbacks from Corsa and adding 20 inch wheels to dress up show room models. As with myself, folks are reporting having no trouble getting a test or demo ride. Most are getting the sport (louder) edition of the Corsa catback. I have seen and ridden in a ECSB with a dual rear exit Sport edition.
What it sounds like you are looking for describes the Corsa Touring (quieter) edition I have on my truck. See my signature.
Just loud enough in the cab at normal city speeds to indicate it is there. At highway cruise speeds it is silent in the cab. When you floor it and it gets to the mid to upper revs it opens up nicely.
At it's loudest in the cab, one does not need to speak any louder or run the volume up on the audio.
Just got to or call around the local Chevy and GMC dealerships service or parts counters and ask if they have a truck on the lot with a Corsa on it. I seen one at my dealership and expressed I was interested but needed to hear it from in the cab first. He took me for a ride in it. The sport is a tad louder in the cab and lots louder outside than the Touring.

Illnali has the Corsa system on his denali, and I must say that it sounds friggen mean.

Beyond that, I really like my Dynomax Bullet Race Mufflers.

Have never heard what the B&B sounds like, and Magnaflow was too quiet for me.

Go with the B&B. There is a sound clip on his website if you want to hear it. I also think Creederado has a B&B he was trying to sell.
