Funny, I get nothing but compliments. One of my buddies said my car sounds like a cobra.
How can a pinched off pipe with chambers flow good?
Pinched off pipe? Come on man, it's been proven to flow.
When it comes to exhaust systems and sound everybody has there own opinion.
That's true. Different people like different sounds. Such is life. I like the GMMG so I went with it and have zero regrets.

If your not going true duals, I say go GMMG.

WOW. Can't say I've seen somebody say that before. This is exactly why hearing everything in person is your best bet. You could be part of the <1% that think the GMMG sounds bad.

You guys are awesome! Thanks alot. I still haven't made a decision. I want to only do it once, and I want to do it the right way. I am thinking that GMMG is really expensive, but possibly do-able. I have been thinking, what else is out there. What are the costs of like Corsa, Magnaflow, Loudmouth, TSP Rumblers, and Hookers setup? I've heard the Magnaflow is good, but I would like a LOUD system that won't have rasp when I add headers. But at the same time, is real loud w/out. Loudmouth Ive heard sucks with headers so I am steering away from that, and I don't see how TSP Rumblers would be much different. Can someone compare Magnaflow to GMMG and Borla in terms of sound (mainly volume, raspiness, interior noise, etc...) Like I said, I want to do this the right way, not spending a ton. I am a poor college kid who really doesn't know what the heck he is doing. Also, would buying a pair of sweet thunders and having a local shop rig up a custom setup similar to GMMG sound good (comparable to GMMG)? Any help is appreciated.

GMMG hands down-For the most part it gives the car more of an old SBC sound vs. the distinct sound of the Modern Muscle Car (i.e. LS1, Modular 4.6, etc) There are few-VERY FEW who do not like the sound however-I know mayb 3 or 4 people around here who would take SLP Loudmouth over it, that is until they heard it with LT's lol

Borla's plates MAY BE be worth it who knows-GMMG has been a proven performer for YEARS. It's worth every penny IMO and many others as well. Borla does get pretty Raspy with Longtubes when the plates are all removed-and when they are removed they perform best-
