True duals or GMMG/Borla setup
Right now I am trying to decide which way I want to go with my exhaust setup. Everything on my car is bone stock right now, but I want to start modding it a little bit. Going to put a lid on it first, then move on to exhaust, but I dont know which one I want to do.
What I am aiming for is a little more power and a good sounding system. Before you tell me to , it doesn't work.
What would be the best bang for my buck? Thanks

youll never regreat going td's....only thing people complain about them is either too loud( wich can be changed with different mufflers) and clearence ...but to me well worth the sound and power out of it......

I HATE GMMG Exhaust it sound like a bad mustang to much poping. Go with the TDs I have them and i love them not just b/c I have it. I have TSP TDs and I love them yes of course its loud but thats a good thing. I have no ground clearence(stock ride hight) but my friend did with his camaro with them on. Its all depends who installs it.

I have owned all three exhausts you list.
True duals sounds great and have good power but my car is lowered so I lost to much ground clearance.
Borla sounded good and I loved the tips but it just didn't do it for me.
Now I have the GMMG and it's the perfect exhaust for me, it's loud, sounds good, and gives you plenty of ground clearance. I'm going to keep this one from now on.
So if your car isn't lowered or if ground clearance isn't a real issue I'd go with true duals but if you are lowered or you have to worry about potholes, speed bumps, etc... then I would say go with the GMMG.

the only thing i've noticed between my TDs and my friends' LT + GMMG is the gmmg is quiet(er) at idle and loud at WOT...where i'm loud(er) at idle and ******* scream at WOT
i mean, they heard me getting on the freeway from a mile away
but i love it
the only time i'm going to quiet it down some is when i get a cam...but all i will change is adding cats

thanks brad ^
i have tsp duals under the axle with a good 5" or clearence under the axle, the lowest spot on the car is where the pipe comes off the collector on the drivers side where it goes under that brace.
if you install them correctly you can get really good clearence, ill admit it took me 3 times to get that kind of clearence.
so im going ot say TD's b/c of the sound and the power gains, ill post up again tomorow b/c im going to a dyno day for the first time since the duals, soo ill post up the difference...... also, its 3" all the way out the back

I just switched from borla to TD's. Definetly glad i did it. The borla sounded good but had soooo much rasp.
BTW, you know most TD set-ups will require some LT headers, unless you have them custom made.
