Default Taking the WS6 to Rapid Motorsports on Fri!!

Im anxious to get it done and see what this thing will put down and sound like...he def sounds like he knows his stuff and ive read nothing but great things about mikey and rapid so it sounds like my baby is in good hands...ill try to post a vid of it and numbers when i get it back...hoping mikey can make a vid of it on the dyno too

Mikey will take good care of you.
I hope you like it loud since you have the GMMG.

On a scale of 1-10...i'd say about a 15.

Seriously, it's going to be LOUD. But it will be an absolutely beautiful noise, I had a GMMG and loved the sound, only got rid of it because i'm getting too old and couldn't take the constant live concert coming out of the tailpipes on a tired drive home at 2AM.

It can't be anyworse than SLP's Loudmouth 1 exhaust. I would think if anything it should sound better the LM when you're easing into the throttle unlike the Ungodly raspyness that LM has. That's one thing that annoys me about my LM. Other than that WOT sounds awesome, I'd love to hear a GMMG in person.

On my 408 with long tubes and ORY it would make your ears bleed at WOT. It wasn't a nice sound either. I put a catted Y and SLP dual/dual on and now it's really quiet with a nice sound. In Delaware I had to pass a 95 dB test for inspection and my new exhaust set up passed by a mile. It was only 76 dB at 2500 rpm. I'm sure I'm leaving a little power on the table, but I'm ok with that. My car is a bit of a sleeper and I like that. If you decide to ever sell the GMMG, post it on here and it will be sold in a day. I know, because that's what I did.

Im thinking i should be ok with it as far as being loud and the sound...im gonna be running cats so that should help...mike finished it up the other day and is going to dyno the car Tues and i plan to pick it up on Wed

A buddy of mine has the slp LT's and the LM 1....personally i like the GMMG better...i think it has a deeper tone which is why i got it. I guess ill find out later this week how she sounds...but i have read on here that the GMMG gets kinda raspy if u use an ORY....ill post the numbers when i get it back and ill make a vid toward the end of the week

Sorry Kenny, I promised I would let TJ (OP) do that. I can tell you that it's close to the other Dominator 2 cam kits I've done. It drives very nice.
