The gmmg is a great CB if you want to spend the money, The magnaflow is another great flowing CB, My buddy has one on his z I haven't heard it since he put LT's on the car but it sounded good with the stock mainifolds/y. Also look at the hooker I love the sound and it flows with the best of them, good price too.

Magnaflow, sounds really good with LT's and ORY. I am really happy that I bought one. The Magnaflow is also one of the best flowing catback's.
You also made two of the same threads, delete the other one.

I have to mention this, ever since getting my cutout i have changed my mind about ever touching stuff behind it. I get my sound with the cutout open, and i'd only close it in the presence of police or if i'm going to work early or something of that nature. The guy that had the car before me has a flowmaster muffler on it, i dont know if it is the full catback and its all welded, but i never worry about it now that i got my cutout.

well if you dont like the looks of the flowmaster exhaust, not the sound or performace, then get the GMMG it will perform way better but for the cost. but if you like the looks of the flomaster pipes then get the cutout and your problem will be solved, just weld the cutout before the muffler and no more flowmaster, increased performace and alot cheaper lol.

I don't mind the cost it is just I don't want to pay a lot for something that an't going to perform great or sound great for the money.Basicly I want what I pay for.

then get the cutout and cam at the same time, its either GMMG catback or cam and cutout. or cam, headers, Y-pipe, and cutout but will cost you more but will get the power you want.

I have a cam in my car already it's the F13.My mod's were in the first post and the flowmaster is robbing me of power.I don't want a cut because my car is low and it will scrap a lot so I want a great exhaust.

oh my bad, but i dont think you will have clearance issues if you put a cutout before the muffler right after the axle, but like you said you want a great exhaust system and GMMG is one of the loudest and best catbacks out there.

i love the sound and volume level of my Kooks LT's/ORY /w stock slp dual dual cat back. the car's tone is deep, but the volume level is tame enough at cruising and in-city driving that i dont feel like any more of a cop-magnet, and i dont feel bad driving home late at night. it gets loud after about 2200 rpms, so when you want to open up the throttle, you get the full effect.

Two cutouts after the headers, two electric cutout valves. That would be a good choice over a new catback IMO
