Default GMMG vs Powersticks

I think I got it settled down to 2 or 3 different set-ups I just wanna get some more opinions.

I have ebay headers from lsextreme and I was looking into the GMMG mufflers from madhammer and just having a exhaust shop runnin my pipe and gettin it done....

OR

I talked to the guy who makes the Powersticks mufflers and he recommended A 3" Powerstick in the intermediate pipe, & two 2.5" Powersticks positioned transverse at the rear for a FULL chambered system.

I'm a bit of a ratard when it comes to this stuff so any advice would he helpfull.

i say no to any kind of bullet, power stick, chambered pipe. simply because it's really difficult to stop rasp at 2500-3000 rpm with those. now if you don't mind rasp or you have cats then whatever go for it. just my personal opinion i like a deep smooth tone with lots of volume. magnaflow does a good job at this but is kinda on the quiet side. my exhaust does an AMAZING job at this but also cost me out the ***.


so maybe magnaflow+cut out?


btw i have exhaust vids in my sig. if you want more advice just pm me.

I was debating on the Magnaflow for a long time, however I just love the way the GMMG sounds. I don't really know much about the drone and rasp. i figured since I am running it all the way out the back, that that would not be such a big issue.

Ever hear an old farm truck with a straight pipe setup? That nasty snarlyness and harshness is rasp. It sounds like *** on these cars, and you will notice it regardless if it's dumped or out the back. I suggest some form of cats, a good merge Y pipe and Magnaflow. Sounds awesome, minimal rasp and flows like there's no tomorrow.
