Its a Tahoe, Suburban, or Silverado....

Go with Flowmaster or Magnaflow and you can't go wrong.

if you want it loud, throw some long tube headers on and put the short 3" turn downs on the ends. thats your louds. Or if you want it louder, do shorty's and put maybe a 2' piece of 2.5-3" exhaust tubing off the shorty's.
