i had the dual, liked it at first but it became to bulky and wasnt a big fan of it. My personal favorite is the re-ameniya dolphin tail and besides that it is the best sounding exhaust.

The Apex'i dual is the most horrible sounding thing I've ever heard...seriously...lol.

No offense.

The Thermal Research catback is a lesser-known exhaust, but the quality is first rate. I just happen to have one for sale...

Im currently selling my HKS Carbon Ti and looking for the Apex'i N1 Duals. Hoping it will sound good with the LS1.

My favorite is the Apex N1 Dual, in terms of looks. The tips are big enough to look cool, but not so big that people are going to laugh at your 8" coffee-can-exhaust. The exhaust is a bit loud for most, expecally if you have removed the main cat, but it sounds great to me.

I really like the sound and stock (read: not attention getting) looks of my RB dual tip. However, if I lived in a different state, I'd probably want to get a St. May's shotgun exhaust (like the N1 Dual, but sounds really nice). I'm interested in getting a Borla XR-1, though, which I'd like to stick an oval tip on. I think that would be a good single tip look.

RB dual tip here. The N1 dual looks good too. Basically, I just think the car looks best with a dual tip design, IMHO.

I have some racing videos but you probably wouldn't hear anything meaningful. It sounded nice and deep though. I had a Magnaflow resonator in the midpipe as well.

I vote for any of the stock appearing dual tip setups. Nothing worse than a big, obnoxious coffee can on the back of these cars imo. My h/c ls1 car traps 124 with or without my pettit dual tip exhaust so I doubt it's holding me back much.

If and when I do the ls2 stroker I will probably plumb in an electric cutout before the catback.

I like the look of the Blitz Catback. It looks like it came from the factory just the way it is. Mounts up nice and snug. Deep tone to it too.
