One option I had was put cats on the lm1 and run a cme set up,I have heard the cme smooths out the sound a lil,it does have a tsp ory with the newer merge,do the duals sound as good as everyone says?

I'm just looking for the best sound,there is one ss that has duals ran back to a cme and that has been the best setup I have heard so far,and its hard to go by what you hear in clips,I know on my phone if I take a clip of my car it sounds like crap but great in person.

I listened to a ton of different exhausts before I went with the GMMG. I went with it b/c I loved the sound and how the tips fit the cutouts of the TA bumper. To me, the CME looks better on Camaro's rather than just having it "hanging there". A buddy of mine has the LM1 on his TA and I didn't really care for it too much...the GMMG was loud and had a deeper tone to it where I thought the LM1 was just "loud" but not as deep of a tone, if that makes any sense.
If you want it to sound loud and aggressive, a GMMG with a cam and headers will def fit what your looking for....its gonna scream when you get on it and turn some heads for sure. There's a nice straight piece of road about a mile past my house that I like to get on it, and my dad said he can hear when I get on it if he's outside, so it's def loud....hope that helps man!

Yeah I've wanted a gmmg for awhile ,I will be doing a cme ,yeah it seems like the lm1 is loud but lacks the deep tone,I like what I have heard from magnaflow but just worried ill be running a open cut out all the time,maybe ill try the xr1 in place and see how that sounds,is the magnamouth have a deeper sound than the borla?from the clips I have heard it seems like it is,this guys true duals I was talking about just sounded great,and tsp x pipe is only like 425,and after I sell my y pipe and lm1 with the borla. Xr1 I'm not spending that much,a gmmg used will cost me around 550 or a lil more,like I said I just don't know what I wanna do

I've never heard a magnamouth so I can't really say, maybe someone else will chime in. I've heard a borla on a stock T/A but it didn't really impress me. GMMG smokes the borla imo plus I absolutely hate how the tips look on the borla with those fins or whatever they are. If you get GMMG, I'd def run cats or it will probably get raspy with an ORY. If you get one and don't like it, I'm sure you'll have no problem selling it. People are always looking for a nice used GMMG on here. But I think its tough to beat the tone of a GMMG.
Some of the hooker and bassani sound pretty decent also...have you checked ls1sounds.com??

Yeah I have,I would just swap my lm1 resonator on my lm1 catback,from what I have heard it sounds way better than the lm1 and better than the borla catback,I would like a gmmg but there kinda hard to find I see a few go up for sale and are sold with in a few hours,I wish I can hear true duals in person,that would be the cheapest route but I worry about having mine lowered with them ,ohio roads suck bad,I also looked at the stainless works chambered catback which is kind of like the gmmg but its not cheap at all over 900,

You want loud, but refined, go with the GMMG or a Magnaflow. The GMMG has a very deep, ballsy tone to it. The magnaflow was more poppy and not quite as loud. Can't go wrong either way.

Here's my current set up.
LT's, 3" off road Y pipe with a flowmaster merge, 3" I and over axle portion, GMMG w/ 3" tailpipes

Here's the same set up, but with a Magnaflow
