There is a lot of threads about exhaust. What type of exhaust information are you looking for?

Meh. I'm not really sure, that's the problem. All I know is that I don't want a Flowmaster, and I'd like something that won't make me lose too much low end. I don't have a problem with loud exhaust, I just feel that Flowmasters are overrated (had them on two of my previous vehicles).

Well if you want quality cat back system, go with Magnaflow, or MBRP.

They both have a nice low rumble, but a clean loud growl when you open it up. It makes one of those exhaust rumbles that you can tell is quality.

Here is a link to my Magnaflow system

I've looked pretty heavily into getting a Magnaflow, I'm just worried that it won't be as loud as I'd like it at cruising speed/idle.

it is plenty loud. Slight drone at @1700 rpm. Just not obnoxious loud like a flowmaster.

Hmm, great! I originally wanted Magnapacks, but man are they expensive. Other than that, the only other muffler that has sparked my attention is the Dynomax Bullet. The Magnaflow would probably provide better performance though...

Anyone have a Hooker Aerochamber? I was wondering how they sound at steady rpms.

I know some of the 2nd Gen Guys are running them, I dunno of any 3rd Genners, I could be mistaken too.

Check out Cherry Bomb too, I have/had a Pro Series on my truck and I love/loved it. They do not make a bolt on kit, just a weld in/clamp in muffler; however I am changing it out for... wait that's a secret. You'll have to wait for what I changing to, but I guarantee you will be happy with a pro, there is no drone with it either, I am just changing out because I have issues with some piping and for replacement piping in this area every one wants and arm and two legs to weld it... and I can buy a bolt on for the prices. I need a welder...
