NO!

Keep in mind, I don't generally like the way LS1's sound (as compared to LT1's), but this is one of the few systems that actually makes it sound good & tough IMHO.

I was one of the first to get this exhaust well over two years ago on my old LS1 and quickly re-installed it on my newest LS1 if that tells ya anything.

Only YOU can decide if it is worth it for your car...

I would never buy another cat-back ever it is the best sounding in my opinion and if you stick long-tubes on it with cats the sound is amazing

From the sounds I have heard on there web site the GMMG sounds so awsome. That is the exhaust I am saving for.

For me (old guy) the sound was too loud after LT install but I put a borla in the I pipe and the sound is great. Don't get me wrong, the sound was great before but it roared to life in the morning (I leave for the office at 05:30) and with the top down it was too much for me.

For conversation, and because I'm too lazy to look, how much does GMMG cost?

If you buy it new, it's like $700-$800, but I got lucky and got mine for $500.. Woohoo! I used to have the Corsa, but that was the worst exhaust I've ever had.. Sure, it sounded good- until I blew the muffler. That happened twice before I bought this! The GMMG is phenomenal and I don't have to worry about blowing a muffler, since it's chambered!

I have Hooker LT's with ORP and a GMMG exhaust and I'm always getting compliments from other people about the way it sounds. I would definately go with the oval tips if I did it again.

Unless you find one used, it's only available from GMMG direct.

not-a-sponsor.com

As far as sound w/o cats...I've heard it's raspy, but I can't tell you from personal experience since I haven't removed my cats...yet.

Wouldn't it be against the law if you removed the cats?

Hmmmm...well, I suppose your right! It's okay, though, I've already been labled as a hipocrite in another thread on this site, so I might as well continue to abuse my authority!
