There is no "Best". Pipe is pipe, make sure it's 3" diameter and has mandrel bends...

I'm a fan of the Thermal exhaust, 3" mandrel, stainless steel, spot-on fitment less a usually under ~10" testpipe being fabbed. Price is great too.

custom mandrel bend from your local exhaust shop and mufflers, resonators, race cat etc. of your choice lol.
My personal car has a full 3'' mandrel, open wastegate, and magnaflow muffler.

Thermal is pretty deep and can be loud..

Go Vibrant Streetpower.

Are you serious? Why? The best option is to come up with a decision on what muffler you want and just do your own 3" made by a muffler shop. I don't even have close to the $550 that it cost for a thermal 3" exhaust invested into my setup. And I'm happier with my muffler then theirs anyways.

I have the thermal. It sounds nice but I got a noise ticket from the cops. Im not running a cat though so that makes it a bit louder. Id recommend it

I'm going to say the one I built for myself is the best. It has more ground clearance than stock, 2 resonators, 1 muffler, black turndown tip and v-bands. Plus all the tube was free...best for you? I have no idea.

Yes I am serious, the Thermal 3" is the best exhaust that you can buy and open your door and have it ready to go, he mentioned nothing about dragging his car around trying to get an exhaust made or anything about piping kits and pick and choose $100 fart cans.
