I have run a few different exhausts over the years. First aftermarket I got was a Flowmaster, which I didn't really like and got rid of quickly. I then ran an Edelbrock muffler for a while, which I did like. I traded that for my brothers SLP Loudmouth cat back when he was selling his car, and have had it for quite some time now. I personally like it worth how my car is set up. It is pretty loud and not too raspy. A friend of mine had a Borla which was really nice, but pricey and I didn't really care for the quad tips. My brother currently runs Magnaflow on his 4th gen, wich I love the Magnaflow on that, but would most likely sound different on an old SBC vs. LS1.

When I get my car out of storage, I would be more than willing to put up a sound clip for you if you wish.

Let me know.

Yes that's what you will have to do is listen to different systems and then decide. It is a choice you will have to make, you don't what to buy a system your not going to like.
