Borla or GMMG?
I like both a lot..What do you guys run.I don't want rasp,I want deep bellow..And NO,its not going to be cammed up,new heads,or intake.Which sounds best at idle and taking off? I saw the youtube vids but some are pretty bad and not really a good real world test..Opinions are welcome..

If you can try to meet up with some cars in your area, so you can hear them in person so you can make up your own mind. Everyone on here will have their own opinions, and you my not agree with them. It would suck to spend $1k on a exhaust that did not hear first, and end up hating the sound.

Thanks guys..Dan your right,but I have no idea where to find someone..I'm not that worried about it..From the vids,I can tell that the Borla and GMMG are higher quality than the rest and sound better..I've had SLP 3" on all my Iroc's and it was good,but I don't like the hollow sound.Borla and GMMG don't sound like that,they have a deep bellow that I really like..Or am I out in left field here?

To meet up with locals go to the locals section on this site, and depending on what state you are in (there might be a local f-body site)
Then.... when you watch youtube vids most are with headers (these cars sound completely different without headers) You cant judge the vids with or without headers...

just bought a gmmg! The sound on the ls1 with stock manifolds and y pipe is very deep sounding with no rasp. Can't comment on the Borla, never heard it. Heard the gmmg and had to have it!

Thanks man..Is it on your car now? The SLP just doesn't do it for me..It sounds more annoying than anything IMO..

I had Borla on my Z, just the catback, and really liked it but the one thing that bothered me was that sound only comes out of the non-muffler side, the passenger side, but overall the sound is a nice deeper aggressive sound. With that being said, I will be getting GMMG to go with my CME tips on the SS pry next summer, so I say GMMG.

I've had both - I had Borla on a 2000 M6 both with stock manifolds and LT's. I went with GMMG on the 2002 and I've never regretted it. The Borla didn't sound bad at all, but the GMMG is everything that people on here said it was. You are right about both being higher quality than what other companies offer - there is no comparison between these systems and Flowmaster, etc...

Thanks for the advice..I will probably go with GMMG when the time comes..Getting the WS6 hood,fitted,painted and installed next week..Then I think I'm going with gears,then exhaust..
