Need suggestions on a new catback

I'm just looking for that "perfect tone" for my car. Obviously I still need to get a set of headers for it, but other than that what cat backs have the best tone? I'm running a Magnaflow under there right now and it really doesn't sound too shabby at all. I actually like it alot but I know there's got to be something even better out there. I really want GMMG but I can't fork out the coin for it right now. Any suggestions?

Here's a video clip of what it sounds like as it sits with stock manifolds, no cat, and a Magnaflow catback:

I've got a Flowmaster American Thunder cat-back system on my red '91.
I love it.
Very deep sounding.
It also has factory manifolds, custom y-pipe, and catco converter.

I'm not a huge fan of Flowmaster...They dont sound too bad, but EVERYONE and their grandma has it. I'm looking into possible 4th gen mufflers like the 2otl and other SLP options.
