id say gmmg, and i dont have even have mine yet, but from hearing them in person, i heard a stock manifolds with just gmmg, awesome, and i heard some lt's with cats and gmmg, even more amazing, so thats why i got mine, it really sounded good on any setup, even though i havent heard a ORY setup yet, but ive heard the catted setup sounds alot better with long tubes.

GMMG without a doubt. Borla is ok on stock stuff, but with headers gets a little outta control. And by outta control I mean shitty sounding.

I'm very satisfied with my Borla. Closed on start up in the morning so I only wake half the neighborhood, and opened (with my MPP) once I hit the road. I've yet to hear a bad comment about the sound, matter of fact have been told by a few folks that they love to hear my car go down the strip......different, but a good sound. I've even passed the Johnny Law driveby and idle in traffic test with it opened....knock on wood...but of course it would have been a different story had I of had it at WOT and smokin' tires past them .

Ive had both. The only reason GMMG is on my car now is because the previous owner installed it. I was very happy with my Borla on my 99. I think I may have actually liked the sound of the Borla better.

I have Lt's, cats, and a borla with a qtec. I love the sound open or closed. So shitty sounding is just your opinion. It's all about personal prefrence because they both are excellent cat backs.

Default poorla

ive heard gmmg on stock
and ive heard poorla on stock
and on a 427 ls? with a supercharger

and gmmg even sounds better than the 427
the 427 and borela is louder of course
but the TONE is with gmmg.

i can only imagine what that 427 would sound like with a chambered exhaust
