Thumbs up First Drive Since GMMG Install

I finally put full insurance back on my car and got it out of the garage since the weather has finally turned. I installed the GMMG and Pro 5.0 over the winter. I started the car up after installing the GMMG but today was the first day I was able to hear it while driving. I must say, it sounds awesome ! I think it has even exceeded my expectations. So if you're thinking about buying it, get your *** in gear, you won't be disappointed.

GMMG is one of the best sounding exhausts I have heard.

I'll try to get some sound clips this weekend. I still need to adjust the tailpipes a little since one of them isn't straight. You can keep the exhaust pretty quiet if you keep the RPM's under 2000...that way you don't draw attention from the cops. Besides, I don't see what they can do, it's a street legal exhaust.

kinda hard with a 3800 converter and 2.73 gears
modification laws are really strict here in VA. you can get a ticket for any modifiied exhaust after the factory. im squeaking by with having fake cats until a sniffer test comes our way.

Yes, it does sound great on the LS1...But if you think it sounds good behind stock manifolds, wait until you get some LT headers w/ highflow cats on. Now that is a true muscle car sound worth hearing at WOT to be honest, the GMMG is the only cat-back system I really prefer on modified LS1's...Only other set-up I'd run on mine is true duals...

Sounds even better on my LT1 though...

Congrats man! I've been running GMMG for a year and a half now. I love it. Wait a few weeks untill it starts to sound better after it gets a little "burnt out".

What exactly is there to "burn out" or actually in with this system? Sorry, but mine never sounded any different after some miles were put on it...It has sounded exactly the same over time on the three different 4th gens I've run it on...

I thought the GMMG was chambered

Only like fiberglass packed mufflers burn out, such as magnaflows, bullets, etc.

Yeah I already thought of that. I'll probably have my wife go flying down our road in it this weekend so I can hear it from another point of view.
