GMMG has 2 dimpled resionaters that are routed very diffrently than the LM kinda makes an S shape after the axle.....the LM has a large single resionater that runs pretty much straight back then splits in 2 at the rear after the axle. Kinda hard to describe.

ohhh okey, so they both use the resonator but the GMMG has two, that's what I was trying to figure out if the GMMG actually had a resonator or what it was using, thanks a lot.

I guess both systems sound nice under the right exhaust set up, I have shorty headers and regular factory cats with the SLP y-pipe, and the Magnaflow exhaust right now, but was looking for a meaner sounding cat-back, so was trying to figure out between these two since I hear they both are great sounding exhaust if you have cats on, so not sure which one I should look into honestly.

yeah your right, I wish I could hear these on a vehicle in person, that would be the best way to decide.

Ouch guys go easy on the LM!!! White with the setup you have the LM would be a good choice since you have cats, you also must factor the price into the decision....I got my LM on a GP for $260 and I believe the GMMG is like $650-$700 ish. Don't get me wrong here fellas GMMG is a very nice sounding system!!!!Good luck

yeah I have heard that with cats the loudmouth does sound nice like you said, so maybe with my setup the SLP would sound good on my car, and for the price too it's very reasonable, thanks everyone.

yeah i got my gmmg shped for 650 on GP but then u have to remember gmmg has 2 "mufflers" instead of slp just having one, so there is more piping. still on the pricy side but if you have the money its worth it. i do agree though loudmouth is ok with cats but without the rasp gets real bad, but WOT sounds bad ***

biggest difference is gmmg sounds badass while the loudmouth sounds like just plain ***, not to mention the RIDICULOUS interior noise. ive been in cars with lt's no cats and a magnaflow catback that werent as loud inside as a stock manifold/cat loudmouth car. saving some cash on a catback doesnt mean it has to sound like ***, hooker and magnaflow sound good, flow well and are cheap. IMHO, the loudmouth is the f-body equivalent of a ricer fartpipe.

Loudmouth is straight pipes with a single resonator

Loudmouth can be had for under 350 bucks easy

With long tubes and ORY Loudmouth will sound like

GMMG can be had for 700 to 850

GMMG has two chambered mufflers

With long tubes and ORY GMMG will sound like
