Default Best Sounding Exhaust for the N/A

Just curious as to what set up you thought was the best sounding?

Mine's pretty neat... it's a 4-1 header (I think by MSDS, i bought it used) that goes 3 inches from there to the cat, to the resonator, to the muffler, to the tip. still loud as hell, but not overly loud... sounds nice!

On my 88, I have a Flowmaster muffler. I took the exhaust off of a 87 without the resonator, and run the cat.

A high mileage (think 250k miles) stock muffler sounds great!

I hate the irony associated with load exhausts on slow cars. You hear a lot of noise but your car doesn't go anywhere. A bit retarded IMO, even though I did the same thing in the past with my 944!

My stock exhaust at a 145000 miles sets off car alarms and rattles windows.

3" pipe from header to cat, then 3" from cat to flowmaster. A bit loud, not ricey. Sounds great at 5500 rpm. Well, not to the guy next to me.....

i had the cat removed and replace with a 'cherry bomb' type muffler. then 2 1/4 dia. pipe back to a generic turbo muffler. nice quiet tone at idle, by 3000+ rpm it really starts singing
