Exhaust question?

I'm wondering what exhaust to get for my hhr. I want a deep really clean sound. So far I'm leaning toward a flowmaster super 40, but noone knows what it will sound like with a 4 cylinder. Anyone got any suggestions.

My neighbor really likes his Corsa exhaust. He says you cant even hear it inside the car, but it sounds so good on his car.

I like Magnaflow because there are no baffles. They kind of sound like glass packs.

Going back to my childhood those were all popular along with Hooker headers. My uncle was a Purple Hornies man and my step dad was all about Thrush. Does anyone know the diameter tube Chevy used on the stock set up? I have a 2LT so I have the factory stainless exhaust. I'm guessing 2" or 2 1/4" but haven't checked yet.

I had Hooker Headers on my 79' Monza and my Pa and Bro's all used Hooker Headers. It was a factory 305, I dropped a 350 from a 79 Corvette, (bought it from my Landlord cuz a guy couldn't pay rent) They may have been what some called "crap cars" but I tell ya there were a lot of Mustangs going WTF? when I roasted them off the line! I had to sell that car for economy and to pay for my school, I will have to dig out and old photo! That was a nice sleeper! I miss that car!
