GMMG vs TD's which do you think would sound better:
kooks lt headers, y-pipe w/magnaflow cats, gmmg exhaust with a cutout after the cat
or
kooks lt headers, magnaflow cats, true duals - was thinkin of a x-pipe setup coming all the way out the back either under or over the axle...however i do not know much about the true dual setups and how much it would cost for it to run all the way out the back, i know the dumps would cost around $500, but not sure how much extra im lookin at. and im assuming you would have to weld the cats onto the x-pipe? also not sure to go with bullets or a muffler and wat would be the difference in each one would be, such as sound, flow and performance. i think some bullets are made for offroad use only, which would be no good for me, but jus wondering.
any input you could provide me would be great.
sorry if my knowledge of true duals are off, but like i said im not too familiar with the setup, so thats why i figured who better to ask than people on this board who have experience.
i checked on ls1 sounds, but a lot have them with cams and dumps
if it helps the sounds i want is exactly/similar to this

I am biased now because of how well the X pipe flows. I have never heard the GMMG exhaust in person. But i have the TSP true duals and love them with pacesetter headers. The TSP will bolt up to your headers also. Its 420 bucks from them dumped. www.texas-speed.com
I love my TSP setup as well, but I dropped the bullet mufflers that came with the system and decided to use sweet-thunder cambered mufflers instead. They may not flow as well as the bullets, but they sound much better IMO. Plus, I'm a mostly bolt on car with 3" True duals, I don't think the sweet-thunders hurt performance much if at all. Go with the true duals, you won't be dissapointed at all. Expect to pay an additional $300-500 to have the duals go all the way out the back.

thanks guys, ill prob be goin with the TSP to sweet thunder chambered mufflers dumped before the axle, and ill try that out and see how it is for awhile than maybe bring out the back...in actuallity its less expensive than the gmmg too (even tho i love the gmmg sound too) haha

The long tubes with GMMG would sound the best IMO. True duals are cool and all, but you just get this deep rumble the whole time. As for having a cut out after the cat, that would totally make the GMMG a waste of 700 bucks, so lets forget about that idea.
