Exhaust!

hey everyone
so i recently moved to denver and now im looking to start the upgrading on my 2001 gt
right now im going to stick with an intake and an exhaust system
im thinking about a BBK intake but i cant make up my mind on the exhaust
ive been looking at magnaflow, bassani, flowmaster, and borla
i want my car to have an aggressive and throaty tone but i also want a decent amount of power
i would really appreciate some help from everyone!

I got Borla on my GT and it sounds great. It has a nice tone but it's not overpowering like some of the others i've seen out there. You hit the gas and you hear what you want but at the same time you don't have the droan that most exhausts have while cruising. But, I gotta tell ya if your looking for performance like an HP number your not going to see much unless you perform others mods along with the exhaust my bone stock GT did not really improve performance with the exhaust alone I wouldn't expect much from just an exhaust.

unless you get headers.
But other than that an intake and exhaust on a 2v doesnt do much.

I have experience with both Magnaflow and SLP, Both of these companies deliver a top notch product.

Throttle body and plenum.
3.73 or 4.10's..they dont make anymore power but will increase your 1/4 miles times by as much as .2 -.5 after that save up for a S/C thats the only mod that our cars like.
