Default Those with GMMG

Has anybody else's GMMG catback gotten louder over time? I feel like mine has.

Mine hasn't. Mufflers with packing will get louder over time as the packing gets pressed in. The GMMG only has chambers, so there isn't anything to get "broken in."

I have your exhaust setup (except ARH) with stock heads and cam. It's already very loud so I can't imagine how your setup sounds now.

Mine had a real nice tone with the stock set up, Got a bit louder with the addition of LT's and catted-y, With the heads and cam it was tolerable!!! Now with the 402, I am considering changing my set up. Almost obnoxious now!!!

That's it, mods are what do it. I liked mine perfectly when stock. I added a 3000 stall converter, and it became a little over the top, especially when cold. LT's really ramped it up.

Does anyone have a clip of their GMMG with just a cam and without headersjust through the stock manifolds. I live in CA, so that's why I'm avoiding headers. This is also my daily driver.

Anyone??
