B&B, Mecham or GMMG? Hmm.... I am going to be buying my cat back for my T/A and I can't decide on the exhaust for it. It is clearly about sound for me since the cat back doesn't make huge power gains.
I have heard the B&B and GMMG on LS1 sounds but nothing on the Mecham. I like loud but not too much drone. I will adding in some TPIS LT's soon as well. Any suggestions? Or if any of you have a sound clip on the Mecham that would be great! Thanks

Unfortunatly yeah I did. I may have missed something but only because I stopped reading after so many things on the hood and spoiler stuff. Can't find a sound clip on it anywhere. If you all have found something let me know man. Its almost go time. Plus the GMMG exhaust is now $700.
Hey is the Stainless Steel chambered exhaust the ssame as the GMMG? It sure does look like it.

I had B&B on my car, but it was really quiet, especially if your not going to be running Longtubes. But now that im putting longtubes on this week i wish i would have kept it on, oh well what can ya do. Just get an electric cut-out, quiet when you want it to be and loud when you want it to be, and it accually sounds really good with just manifold and cats, mines open everytime i drive it now, but will probly be to loud when i put the pacesetters on for just cruising.

GMMG has one of the best sounding exhausts.
I have hunted all over for the place for a mecham sound clip... no luck either.
maybe send them an email and see if they have any sound clips on file.

I emailed them a while back and didn't get no sound clip. Too bad.
I am planning on running no cats of course. I also played with mid length Mac's or Pacesetters for clearance when I lower the car a bit. If I went that way I would stay with cats. Hmmm.......

You need to figure out exactly what your set-up will be before throwing money around.

i'd say GMMG out of all of them easily. it's easily the best flowing of the 3. in fact, i hear B&B is restrictive to the levels of even the flowmaster 80 series. i cannot verifiy this, however. it's just what i have heard.
what i can verify is GMMG is as straight-through and as free-flowing as they come. the only exhaust more straight-through is the SLP loudmouth.

I have the GMMG, it is absolutely awesome. Out of every exhaust, and I have heard all of them, I went with GMMG. It does rasp with the ory at about 2500-3000 rpm. All I find is myself keeping it in a lower gear just to listen. I constantly get comments on how awesome the car sounds, CONSTANTLY! Head and cam on the way it should sound 100 times more bad ***, and the rasp will be gone.
