My personal favorite is the Ford Racing Exhaust (by Borla). I'm really happy with mine and the sound is getting more awesome by the day. It'll cost somewhere around $200 but, in my opinion, its worth it.

A lot of people, on the other hand, have been really pleased with the sound provided by upgrading the stock V-6 exhaust with GT takeoff's. This route is less cost but does provide good bang for the buck.

i have the GT takeoff on Betty, and should be putting one on Jane on sunday, it is a good inexpensive mod, easy to do, looks better, and sounds much better.(i never realized how quite and small the V-6 muffler is until I saw Betty and Jane next to each other)

My wife wants to sell her 1 week old Magnaflow axle-back, part # 15889 I think it sounds great but she wants to go back to stock. PM me, we'll make you a great deal on it.

This is just so subjective. Everyone is gonna put what they have on their ride! I felt the single GT take-off was a nice bang for your buck option. You can get the muffler plus the installation for less than $100. Now, I'm going with JBA duals, but if I stuck with a single I'd probably go with either Magnaflow or the Ford Racing axle-back. One advantage to the Magnaflow... Magnaflow has said there's a 10hp gain with both their duals and single. Haven't seen any claimed gains from others.

With the single GT muffler, I did notice a difference. The sound was much deeper and their was a bit of a performance kick.

Here's a clip of mine (minus the shorties I have now)...
