Thanks guys, George
im in MD, and the police here all have a stick up their *** and ive never got pulled over. I have a 97 LT1 and have LTs, catted y and gmmg, I come down to virginia quite a bit, maybe we can setup a day.
GMMG was a production exhaust at that, it is in no way illegal.
but if you are just curious about how often you will get hassled about it.....
I have never been pulled over with mine. The closest I have got was some ******** called the cops, saying someone was driving around downtown "squealing tire." Needless to say, when the cop caught up to me, I told him to check for burnt rubber on my quarter panels or to feel if my tires were even warm. He did. He apologized and said he will remember the person who called the complaint in, that way I don't get hassled again.

Exhaust used to be exclusive to GMMG built cars (Zl1, Berger, Blackbird, etc). It could also be arranged though a dealer to send a car to them or vice versa in order to get a whole warranted package.
I've had mine for about 7 yrs, bought it on the 1st GP they ever allowed (on another forum) when they started selling the exhaust to the public. It's a loud catback for sure. If you keep you foot outta it and run cats you should not have a problem going by cops. I really like the sound and it sounds awesome on an lt1 with longtubes.

The nice thing about the exhaust is it sounds good on pretty much any motor with any manifold/header. It does get a bit raspy without cats.

I don't think you'd have a problem, but the GMMG exhaust is illegal in the state of Virginia. You can check the code, but it basically states that any exhaust that is, in any way, different than the type of exhaust that was originally on the car is illegal. Plus, the state code specifically says that a chambered exhaust is illegal. GMMG is a chambered exhaust.
hmmm so gmmg is illegal in VA damn Va is so 
hmm but you guys think i shouldn't have any problems tho so should i go ahead and purchase one regardless? or play it safe and go with a regular mufflered exhaust and thanks guy for all your help so far im glad i joined this bored oo and dilatedpeoples28 if your ever in the fairfax or stafford area id be will to meet u somewhere to hear it

I have a chambered system on my car and haven't had problems. Although, I make sure to keep it quiet around the cops. I live around your area too. I live in Fredericksburg and work on Quantico.
hmmm yea thats what i was thinking bout doing regardless of the was the regulation is lol and how do you like the sound of it nytmare? i know youve got an ls1 and itll sound different on the lt1 but still how would you explain the sound? and i was actually in fredericksburg today i checked out the new wegmans hahah

Haven't been to the new Wegman's yet. My hometown (Brockport, NY) had the first super Wegman's (still there too). We had a Wegman's, but it was on the same scale as a Giant. It closed one day and about a year later... the first super Wegman's was born. This was in the mid to late '70s. I'm looking forward to checking it out when the crowds calm down.
Man... I need a life.
Ahhh ok i see so you have a "chambermouth" nice i was thinking about doing that too but the exhaust shop guy said it couldnt be done and he also said it would cost like $600+ damn i was like sorry ill just buy a catback lol and you should check it out nytmare1 it was the first time ive been to one and damn it was nice and besides itll give you an excuse to take out the beast

Yea that was the guy i went in there to ask him about it i was originally going to try to bring in an xr-1 muffler but he said that i wouldn't fit because the case was to big but i told i know it'll fit Ive seen pictures well long story short he said it would be 400 for aluminum steel w/ tips or 600+ stainless steel w/tips so i said no thank way to expensive and he wasn't the friendliest guy Ive meet before either.
