I have MAC's, MAC ORY with Flowmaster Y-merge welded in, and Magnaflow catback ... cheapest and best exhaust I've had after 4 different exhausts ... including my old Borla adjustable catback. Absolutely ZERO rasp. You're welcome to come hear it if you're over my way near Lake Mary. The fitment was the best, as well.

I'm a sucker for the GMMG. But currently I have true duals.

In my opinion it depends.

If you're strictly staying with stock manifolds, a loudmouth 1 sounds great, as would GMMG or a TSP Rumbler catback.

If you're going to run LTs/ORY then this leaves 3 "reasonable" alternatives.
Magnaflow, Hooker, and SLP Dual/Dual. These are quieter catbacks, but when paired up with other mods such as LTs/ORY, or a cam, they're plenty loud for daily driving. (Can't speak for the dual/dual volume changes.)

i do agree that the LM and GMMG sound great on a stock manifold car with cats. otherwise, no way.

i personally like the magnaflow, SLP dual/dual (for quiet and deep) and single chamber flowmasters dual with x or h pipe.

I have LT's ORY GMMG, but I put one of those powerpack resonators in my I pipe and took away all of my rasp. Still have the great GMMG sound though. If money is no object I would go this route.
