Default Magnaflow or wait for a GMMG GP?

For a while now I've thought about getting a Magnaflow, it sounds nice, and it's cheap. But GMMG sounds really badass, and if it would go on GP I would totally get one, just, I've never seen a GP, nor do I feel like waiting a year to finish my exhaust.

Either one I go with I'll be slapping CME on to. So I ask, should I go with Magnaflow or wait for GMMG? Both tones to me sound great from ls1sounds.

Also, I won't have cats, don't know how that will affect sound.

Magnaflow FTMFW!!!

My friend after putting a gmmg catback on, went slower.
After I got my magnaflow muffler dumped, I went faster.

Probably one of the best mufflers out there. Pretty quiet, but the flow is definitely there.

I hated my Magnaflow at first, now I like it a lot. My only complaint about it are the HIDEOUS tips. Reminds me of a Dodge/Chevy/Furd/etc. truck with a flowmaster.

I have cats and it is for all intents and purposes one of the quietest setups I've heard.

My Magnaflow was quite at first, 1000 miles later it got louder, now I added some 3.42's and she sounds great cause she revs alittle more now. Do the MAGNAFLOW!

Magnaflow all the way man. GMMG is way way overpriced...and it only sounds good with cats. Magnaflow sounds good anyway you run it. Do it and dont look back!!

I would get the magnaflow. Imo the GMMG is way overpriced and without cats it doesn't sound so good. Oh btw I really like the new magnaflow tips.

Exhaust sound and loudness varys greatly with mods. A magnaflow with my mods was loud as hell, even at idle. I had to take it off. When it was stock the magnaflow as almost too quiet. So many people will tell you their exhaust is awesome or something they heard sounded great but that doesn't mean that it will sound the same on your car, or that you would even agree with what they consider sounds good. Exhaust on these cars is a crap shoot really. All you can do is try something and see if YOU like it.

gmmg is one of the best sounding cat-backs made for our cars. it is not over prices you pay for the quality of the sound. for the price the magnaflow is a great deal and sounds nice but doesnt match the sound of a gmmg.

I VOTE GMMG
