I don't know if this is considered to be the best but I'm running Kooks long tubes with a Corsa exhaust and it performs and sounds great. It's 3" all the way back using Kooks new 3" connector pipe eliminating the step down to 2-1/2". All of my friends say it sounds great but I think it's a little too LOUD!!! I'm sure all my neighbors think the same at 6am.

Are your Kooks long tube headers catted or off-road ?

They have high flow cats. Some call them race cats. They are just enough to keep the 02 sensors from throwing a light.

Yes, the Xtreme system Corsa sells is properly named. It is crazy loud behind stock manifolds and cats. You throw long tubes and off road, or high flow catted connector pipes into the equation they are simply defining. I'm running the sport system behind long tubes and it screams when you apply the loud pedal. The guy at Corsa told me the db level of my exhaust was enough to damage people's hearing. I called him looking for a way to quiet the system down a little.
