Default Keep borla or get GMMG?

When I purchased my car it came with the borla already on (stock manifolds and y-pipe). Even though I like the sound now, it is a little too quiet for me. In a few months I will be installing pasesetter LTs and some catted y-pipe. I have used ls1sounds.com but from the audio i cant hear much of a difference between the borla with stock or with LTs and a y-pipe( even though I know there is). So I was wondering if you guys would keep the borla or sell it and then put a few hundred into buying the GMMG with the LTs and y-pipe. Thanks in advance.

Keep the Borla. It's adjustable and, will sound a lot better once you get LTs on there. Trust me. If you thought it was a little subdued, without a plate before, LTs will change that. If you add cats' it will minimize rasp

Borla, adjustable. they are both great quality, and probably zero hp difference.I had a borla with my LT's and ORY, it sounded good,but liveable for daily drivin. I have duals now, but I liked the borla alot

How is the interior noise with the Borla? Overall sound?

That's what I have and I too think it sounds GREAT! I'm going to get a welder soon and make the muffler removable though. I want the exhaust sound to come through both pipes and right now, most of it comes through the passanger side.

keep the Borla at least until you have had the LT'S / Y-pipe installed. The cats will help tame it a bit but wide open there is nothing like it..IMO. The interior drone isnt bad at all either .....compared to my Moser gear wine.

i'd say keep the borla since you already have it and invest the money else where in mods. both systems sound good i think. unless you just have to have the GMMG. but i'd keep it.
