why pay $700 for GMMG...
why pay $700 for GMMG... why pay $700 + $150 for tips on this exhaust?
did you guys know you can make your own using the same components they use for about 1/2 the cost?
they use "Stainlessworks.com" chamber mufflers.. they sell for $119.95 each.
and if you didnt know, summitracing sells these same mufflers built by stainlessworks for the same price.
of course yes you would have to have a shop bend the neded pipe and such, but thats only about 100$.
ive made my own using this combo, and compared it to my friends GMMG on his 99 Trans Am.. its exactly the same. BUT since he has an LS1 and i have a gen 1 sbc, the firing order is different and produces a slightly different sound, so saying they sound identical is something i cant do.. (comparing apples to oranges)
i will be putting up a sound clip later on this month, as well as pictures on how to duplicate this exhaust. im not flaming anyone at all.. if you have the money and can spend $700, great, but for those on a budget, im offering this as an alternative. There are also other people on Thirdgen.org that have duplicated this exhaust flawlessly.

Sounds good to me ! I would never spend $700 on a catback !
If you think $750+ for an exhaust is expensive, you should see mine 
There are many people that already know this, but still pay for the convenience of having it already assembled and ready to put on. It is the same concept why people pay $20-30 for a coolant bypass when the parts only cost around $5. It is an issue of convenience.

BINGO!!!! It's easier.

People buy it for the ease of installation. They'd rather just have a box arrive at their house and bolt it on, than having an exhaust fabricated. If I could get Lane to do a knock off for under $500 I would, but I don't see that happening. I don't mind having to save up for a catback, I'll only be buying it once.

there is also a company on Ebay right now that is selling something similar to them that come in black chrome... looks awesome. they are 36$ at a buy it now price.
if i can start getting good deals on the mufflers, i might make a run of 5-10 depending on how much time i have.. my welder craped out on me so im looking to get another. im making the next one for another F-body owner who is local to me.
