Which flows better, Magnaflow or GMMG?

There's a GP for GMMG on www.f-bodyhideout.com. The price is $650 shipped. I'm trying to decide if I should pull the trigger. For the last month or so I've been trying to decide between GMMG and Magnaflow. Unfortunately, I haven't heard either of these systems in person. Any comments, opinions, or words of advise would be appreciated!

Sorry, I'm sure this has been a topic of conversation in a number of other posts.

Thanks,

Jim

Get the GMMG! I just had mine installed yesterday and the quality and sound is AWESOME!! I have heard the Magnaflow and the GMMG on several cars and I believe that if you get the Magnaflow you will be happy............until you hear the GMMG in person.........they you will be wishing you had the GMMG.

They've done flow tests of all the catbacks & the Magnaflow was the second best flowing catback behind the LM exhaust. I have the Magnaflow catback right now & with LT's it sounds great. That being said I have yet to hear GMMG in person.

Who has done all this testing? Where can we see the reuslts? I'm not doubting you I was just currious. ............No matter what the results are I still wouldn't trade a GMMG for a Magnaflow.

Yes evn the Mustang Magazines (they have more money for testing then GM high tech) have tested hundreds of exhaust systems and MagnaFlow is always on top or close to it. They sound incredible with LT and are all stainless. $425.00

The GMMG outflows the Magnaflow. Its been tested.

Nate, I dont think the Mustang magazines have tested the GMMG since its LS1 specific, so your statement doesnt really help this guy. Thanx

GMMG is not LS1 specific, it is F-body specific. I want to ear a sound cip o this magnaflow, I am in themrket for something new now, and was looking at GMMG, or Loudmouth/Dynomouth, and have never heard nor seen Magnaflow. I love dynomouth, it is flawless if you like loud, and GMMG is flawless if you like a uniqe sound when you want it . Both are THE highest flowing exhaust systems for the F-body, and I would imagine that Magnaflow is right with them seeing their design is like a large bullit style myffler.

Actually I believe the gmmg is LS1 F-body specific... I doesn't fit on a vette... but by the same token I don't believe it'll fit on the v6 F-body... and I don't think it's design will work with an LT1 car. But of course, with enough work, you can make any exhaust work with any car. Hehe.

Go on their site, you shall see it on a 3rd gen, and a 4th gen. I don't know if it fits on a LT1 car, but your right, you can always make it fit.

I have the Magnaflow on my car and I love it. Plus you can get it for half the cost of a GMMG on Ebay. The GMMG better flow alot better to justify the cost as far as I'm concerned.

Dynomax Racing Bullit Muffler= 2100cfm on most tests, but I have seen anywhere between 1500-2300cfm. GMMG is at around 1500-1800cfm not too shabby.

Thanks,

How much flow do you need with 400 RWHP. I have a Magnaflow and love the sound except for the rasp betweem 2200 and 2800 rpms. It's really loud at WOT. I am thinking of getting a true dual set up if it will give me 10 hp. WHat do you think?
