Exhaust options for LNF cobalt SS'?

Hey guys,
With Christmas coming in two months, I'd like to get an exhaust for my 09 SS turbo and I'm wondering what my options are and if anyone has youtubes of how they sound? I've searched the forums and online and have found a ton (obviously) of LSJ exhaust options but not so much for LNF's, can someone point me to the right thread or websites? Thank you in advance, much appreciated!

are you lowered? if so some hit the torsion beam and make a loud ass bang... Just make sure to go 3". BUT this isnt a hp mod is more changes the sound, the big restriction is in the downpipe.

get a down pipe and leave the stock exhaust alone, its plenty good. If you wanna make you car louder, just delete the muffler for 90$ and put in a test pipe or an aftermarket muffler that isnt gay.

I have a catless downpipe and i wouldn't want it any louder . The stock catback sounds great when you get rid of the restriction in the stock downpipe. Whats nice about this set up is you can baby the car around and it's sounds almost stock .....till you get above 3000 rpm anyways hehe.

I bought the catless 3" downpipe from Clear Image Automotive and the 3" side exit exhaust from Jannetty Racing, no restriction and minimal bends in the pipe. So far it seems a little loud for my tastes, but I love how it sounds like a modded turbo diesel truck now when I am cruising around town!

not lowered, just have some aftermarket rims and tires and a drop in K&N. If I decided to go catless, would there be any back pressure or issues with the powertrain? I do not pretend to be an expert, just legitimately curious. I was thinking of leaving the downpipe on and just getting a catback back post downpipe.

and yes, I do love the turbo diesel semi get-the-heck-out-of-my way sound...

other mods will be gen 2 projectors and GMS1 and 25% tint on back 3 windows and call it a day, not the fastest out there but a nice fast good looking car, thats reliable, and under warranty.

Nope no back pressure issues, the turbo is the back pressure hehe. It gains about 15 hp so not only does it enhance the exhaust sound....it also increases performance.
