Basically from what I've heard it's down between the GMMG and true duals. I got inspections to worry about here so that's why I was leaning toward GMMG. And I have been searching classifieds, which is not always good because I find something else to spend my money on. lol

my header-back true duals cost about as much as a GMMG cat-back. and also figure in the cost of a y-pipe if you go with a cat-back, rather than just headers if you go with true-duals. the only thing is you have to find a shop that does it right. i dont really like the sound of a GMMG with headers and an ORY, but they're about the best sounding exhaust out there with stock manifolds.

I bought my gmmg used for a fair price. I love it even on my stock manifolds, cats, and y-pipe. Sounds like a gm muscle car should now. I heard it on the guy I bought it from's car first with a 228 cam, pacesetters, and ory and it sounded mean on start up and idle. WOT though sounded like the gates of hell had opened. I'm gonna do a catted y-pipe with cutouts before the cats when I do my QTP headers.

That's what I pretty much thought. I really like the sound of the true duals better. I keep trying to talk myself out of the true duals but the only thing I can come up with is clearence and passing inspections, but I think I can get trough those problems.

like i said, you have to find a shop that knows what they are doing. my duals are only low where they go under the axle, which was my mistake when i told the exhaust man to run it that way instead of over the axle, but now that i look at it, he could have run one pipe over each side of the axle and i'd be much better off. in fact, the way my pipes are run, it can be converted to over the axle pretty easily. but its only low where it goes under the axle and when i go over a speed bump, the rear tires hit first and pick the car up so i dont scrape. in fact, the only time i have scraped is when the car was fully loaded with people, it never does when theres just 2 people in it. i'm not saying anything bad about y-pipes, its just that if you get duals run right, they CAN be cheaper, and sound better than a y-pipe. IMO
and so that i'm being perfectly fair, a good thing about y-pipes is that they can be had in stainless steal if that is important to you, where-as stainless true duals would cost you a fortune to be custom made.

TD's over any header catback combo IMO...i did mine myself and you can't have much worse ground clearance than i have but i still never scrape or bottom out...just cant drive fast over speed bumps and you have to dodge potholes....worth the loss of ground clearance in every way..i have 200 dollars in my TD's and i have yet to heard a stock internals ls1 motor sound better than my car IMO and most of my friends opinions..
