i had a magnaflow mufler on my stock i-pipe....sounded good....but wasn't loud enough for me....so i moved up to the loudmouth and holy sh*t i love it (picked it up used in great like new condition for $100) ....no one ever really said anythign about my magnaflow....i started it up for my neighbor one day and he was like that doesn't sound much different than the stock one....but yea the loudmouth is sick...but i wouldn't advise getting it if you are goign to lose the cat(s) or get longtubes....
found some clips of my magnaflow..this guy loaded em on his website for me...but this is my 96 z28 LT1 and the only mod was a magnaflow muffler...you may need to turn up the speakers a bit....

Slightly louder than stock idling.
Quiet at cruising speed.
Slightly loud slowly pulling from a light.
Turn heads at 1/2 throttle.
People run at full throttle.

I like my hooker catback a lot. It is also pretty cheap. You might want to look into the magnaflow system also. That is Stainless Steel and is pretty cheap too. They both are very good flowing systems. I liked the sound of the hooker better that is why i went with it.

Another vote for Magnaflow. If you take a look at the muffler, it is STRAIGHT THROUGH! NO BS! Nice deep idle and cruise, with NO resonance. Wakes up when you get on the gas. Did I mention its stainless too? 
Oh ya, and its a bargain!

It doesn't actually have a tone, it's just loud. Period.
I won't be changing out my Magnaflow anytime soon...
