Best sounding Exhaust for 3.4L?

I just bought my '93 Camaro and wanted to start to do some engine work to it to give it more pick up, but first I want it to sound good. So I was wondering what exhaust would sound best on the bone stock 3.4L motor?

stock. honestly. I mean it.

I bought my 3.4 (when I was 16) with a flowmaster catback, I believe it was a 80 series. It sounded okay but after a while it just got annoying as **** and I wished it was stock.

Oh ok, thank you. I know that the 6 cylinders usually don't sound the way you want them. As long as it doesn't sound like a ricer then I am ok with it.

Meh... if you drive it economically it shouldn't sound too bad. (Like keep it under 2.5k) but if you start reving it up it'll sound like *** (IMO)

My suggestion would to find someone with a stock LT1 who wants a new catback, talk them into it, and buy their stock catback/muffler)

I played with quite a few setups on my 3.4
The Hooker Aerochamber turned out the best (both sound and performance)

The Flowmaster was too raspy under heavy throttle (and they don't flow very well)
The Magnaflow sounded horrible at WOT
