Smile X-Mas Gift to self..

Everyone I bet is wishing to get a great X-mas gift this year from their parents, Gf's, etc.. well in my case this year I'm getting all my presents I asked for myself =D lma0. I have a 2000 z-28 stocked camaro. I need a little bit more help from you guys out there deciding what sound system I should put on my car & I've been wanting my GMMG exhaust but sometimes I wonder is it really worth it to spend soo much=/. I will put out pictures of my car soon. Thanks! everyone

Its a great exhaust if you plan on staying stock manifolds. Then again I picked up mine cheap, still yet to put it on though because I love the way my factory dual dual sounds..

I have Pacesetter LTs and y-pipe with GMMG. Love the way it sounds. It was quiet for me when I heard GMMG with stock manifolds and y-pipe. Everyone has different tastes.

Where did you pick it up at? Madhammer.com (the original manufacturer of all GMMG exhausts no matter where you buy them) sells them for $625 shipped w/out tips and $675 with standard round tips.

Ive got GMMG on my bird and love it.

I will say that magnaflow is probably one of the few that don't get raspy with headers and off road pipe. I love my magnaflow, it sounds great on my car. Just my opinion.

Kicker KX700.5 Amp. this plus a decent head unit and you have a hell of a good sounding system and plenty of power to push just about any mids and highs and still 400w rms for a sub.

best bang for the buck. all on one 5 channel.

Those HP Kicker Stickers are hard to find but if you do, at least 2 HP per sticker.

I still want my car to daily drive and not get bothered by the cops for having so much power and thinking I'm a billboard. So I'll go ahead and start looking for those stickers on craigs list.

with $4-500 you cant do too much. What do you want to accomplish? You can keep your factory stereo (assuming it works still) and replace speakers or keep your speakers and add a subwoofer. I dont suggest replacing speakers AND adding a sub with that budget, you will get cheap products and you wont be happy. PM if you want more detailed advise.

I believe that with 4-500 u can do plenty, there is downtown LA where they sell good name brand at low prices. Big stores like best buy and so want to squeeze your money out your walet. I have a sub, amp, 6x9's And a touch screen stereo for about 550 or so. I've had this for about 5 years already and still working good.
