Borla is a great exhaust, but the 2v sound just falls a little flat for my liking. I love the sound of the exhaust, and I think Borla is great all around, but damn do I hate how much better that 4v sound is. Thats the only reason I steered away from Borla. But Borla still sounds great, and it has an aggressive sound.
Magnaflow is the exhaust I went with, mainly because a lot of people don't have the straight performance exhaust. Everyone ends up going with the Magnapacks.. A O/R X Magnapack just sounded like it broke up to much for me at higher RPMs and didn't stay consistent, so I chose to go with the Performance Exhaust instead (chambered rather than straight through). The flowrates are good as well. I would say that Magnaflow really isn't "aggressive". I like the sound of it, because its clean. I get a lot of compliments on my exhaust. It's quiet at idle, but when I put it WOT you can hear it. The exhaust clip I did of mine, you can hear me up to 1/2 mile away still in the throttle.. My girlfriend said she can hear me get off the ramp when I goto her place and thats about 3/4 mile or so away, lol..
Flowmaster is the classic sound, that basically everyone has imo. I can recognize the Flowmaster immediately. Their flow rates suck though, and a lot of people have bitched about that, so you won't see much gain in the HP department (although I know your not looking for that). However, the sound is something that always is awesome. Thats why everyone has it, because it sounds good. I know my cousins 01 KB GT that he bought originally had BBK O/R-X and Flowmaster 40's on it, and I loved the way it sounded.. But he replaced it with the Spintech's and an Catted X, and to be quite honest, it was just as loud and sounded better I think lol..
Spintech is a rare exhaust system that not a lot of people either a) know about, or b) choose to look into. My cousin actually bought Spintech's for his 01 KBGT Mustang. They sounded awesome, and I was a really big fan of them. Their flow rate is within the top competitors.
Bassani makes a really good exhaust. I think it has that "aggressive" sound your looking for. It sounds good without a catted x-pipe. Its not obnoxiously loud, but it definitely is loud enough. Flow rates are also good.
SLP is something I like, but only if I'm running a catted x and factory manifolds. Anything else, and it becomes just a bunch of garbage. SLP is a straight through muffler, just the same as the Magnapacks..
Best thing I can tell you to do is YouTube until your sick of it. That's what I did. Your aggressive might be different than my aggressive.. I have clips you can hear if you want to hear some of them. I have clips of Bassani, Spintech, Magnaflow, Flowmaster, etc.
