Default Opinions on best exhaust system

I need some insight on what the best exhaust system is for my 2002 ss camaro. I have been reading up on borla,slp and magnaflow. Wanted to here from people that have actually changed out there exhaust systems and are pleased with them. I get tired of all the manufacturers hp claims, i just want some good ol' advice.thanks.

Long tube headers (I have QTP Stainless) with ORY, no cats, Hooker Aero Chamber muffler, all leading to a CME For added pleasure I also have a QTP electric cutout.

With the headers, ORY and muffler in the neighborhood of about $1000.
The CME is an was one of the Y2Y options that was installed by SLP when the SS was originally ordered.
The shop that did my engine work installed the headers, etc.

If you end up shopping around for a cat-back. Magnaflow is fully stainless, doesn't kill ya on price, and in my opinion has a great sound. I have a magnaflow on my car right now and I love the way it sounds.

Nooo lol. My friend has a 2001 mustang gt. We did headers on that car and I'm gonna wait a little while for mine. If I even get them since I have the off road Y-pipe, I will get prob bbk shorties, or hooker shorties.
I don't exactly know what needs to be done for long tube installs, but dropping the whole k-member on that mustang wasn't too fun

Did you notice a significant improvement when you added the magnaflow exhaust system,i'm kinda leaning towards this set-up.there is two version of the stainless for my car one is 476.95 the other is 705.95 from summit racing it appears in the spec sheet the only real diffrence is the exhaust tips one has dual tips the other single tips.

I'm guessing the magnaflow is the 475$ one? To be honest I really didn't feel a difference. I mean I was getting into it a little more because I liked the way it sounded now . But for a full stainless setup I personally believe magnaflow is the best price, quality, and sound.
