What are everyone's suggestions for cat-back systems on a 03 cobra?

Borla ?
Bassani ?
Maganflow ?
Flowmaster ?

I had a borla cat-back and bassani x-pipe w/cats on my 98 cobra and loved the sound.

Which setup will provide the most power gains with the best sound?

There is no correct answer to this question. Sound is objective. Personally I think the Magnaflows sound the best and all the others suck, but that's just my personal opinion.

I believe the Borla Stingers rank #1 for HP/TQ, the Bassani's & Magnaflows are damn near identical. The flows are the worst for power.

I have the borla cat-back and bassani x-pipe w/cats and listening to an audio clip does not do it justice. If you love that exotic sound like I do, this combo is just amazing when you get on it. The car is definately more powerful. I shat you not- I have had people walking in front of the car jump a foot when I bliped the throttle waiting for a light. It makes old people cry too.
