Not hating just stating the obvious. I think Torchd is the only person to solve the GMMG rasp issue. I have had a few setups though lol

Wrong. The PowerFlo produces no rasp. Not saying it because I have it just want to be honest whether people think i'm biased or not

Yea I know. I put a powerstick in my I-pipe and it got rid of most of the rasp but I still had a tad. I have a catted X-pipe, with bassani pipes mated to my GMMG CB when I get a can I'm going to get more video's of it and an Idle clip also. Someone said they could hear rasp in one of my videos but it sounds deep *** hell and good as hell. I love it.

On stock cars, the Hooker CB has a nice sound at idle, but screams at WOT. As mentioned above, adding mods will make it louder. I've used the Hooker CB from stock through various mod stages including my current setup and still like it alot.

I had the Hooker cat back on my LT1 car. It was quiet enough at idle to not annoy the sound police, but if you kept your foot in it there would definetly be heads turning. Adding LTs and removing the cat made it louder on both ends.

I got a magnaflow catback, sounds real good and is not as raspy as the others, though I have the 2 large tips, wish they had the dual tips available when i got it!

I'm sure I am the only member here with a Heartthrob exhaust. I think more people should buy it. My car sounds awesome with it. I can get a cound clip if you want. Its great with and without cats.

Never heard of it....thinking about just buying a new muffler.

Post some clips!!

Thanks for the clips of the texas speed exhaust, that sounds absolutely terrible, is something wrong with the muffler on it? Packing rattling around?
