I haven't heard the Edelbrock on these cars, but I've heard that the Flowmaster exhaust sounds horrible on these cars.

on an LT1, definitely Borla over both.

Mine had Flowmaster when I bought it, sounded ok, but one of their supposedly heavy duty baffles in the muffler was busted loose..lol...what a POS. I put Borla on the day after I bought it

Corsa and Borla better choice, LoudMouth is ok if you have cats but sounds raspy as **** without them, all depends on what your long term plans are? If you plan on long tubes or any header without cats and you have LoudMouth you'll have a raspy sounding car. Especially on the LS1's they sound crappy. But I've heard so far just one LT1 car with LM on it that sounded ok but he had cats, no headers.

I agree. I love my Borla. If you've got the money do it right the first time or you'll regret it. I personally wanted to go with something stainless steel (Borla, Magnaflow, Loudmouth). That's why I went with the Borla. That and it sounded mean as hell.

The Edel actually sounds kind of nice I think, the Flowbees are proving on the track to be inferior mufflers.
