best exhaust for LT1???

I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what kind of exhaust to get and was wondering what everyones opinions are. I want a stainless steel exhaust so that it won't ever rust but I don't know what's the best. I have my cat off, new hooker header super comp headers, performance throttle body and a cold air intake that I plan on replacing with a super charger in a year or two so I want something that would fit well with these other parts

Borla, Corsa for off the shelf. Where do you live? You can go to Bassani or Kook's and have them custom make you one. Mufflex makes a great exhaust too, not sure about stainless though.

Here is my setup: Kooks 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 step, 3" collector, custom dual 3" into 4" Flowmaster merge collector, 4" Mufflex cat back. Here are some pics in this thread http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=496659. Doesnt get much better IMHO.

Magnaflow is a good quality stainless catback. It may not offer the sound that the Borla or Corsa does, but is is almost a third of the cost.

around 800 is the max i'm willing to spend, maybe a little over for something like a borla but the problem with that is i don't like the dual square tips that comes with it and would have to spend even more for new tips

I personally went with GMMG and with the tips it came to $800 i do believe. I think that it sounds awesome, suttle at idle and loud at WOT. It doesnt have the rasp when coming down quickly from high rpms either like you get with others.
