Magnaflow to Gmmg
Magnaflow to Gmmg I currently have a Magnaflow catback on my car. I love the sound over the stock exhaust but now I have gotten used to it. I know a Gmmg exhaust would give me a better and louder sound but will it give me any extra horsepower.
Yup, Lithium is right. You'll only spend a lot more money for something that doesn't quite flow as well. You'll likely lose just a bit of power because Magnaflow is one of the top-flowing catbacks.
If the sound really means that much to you, then go for it. But in my opinion, it wouldn't be worth the $400 extra you'll pay.

in my opinion a few extra horses isn't much to worry about go for what sounds best now for what flows the best youll lose very little power probaly won't even notice it plus there isn't a catback out there that really sounds like gmmg enless you do true duals.

Point being, both of those 3" systems flow very, very well. So, to answer your question, you're not going to gain any power by making the switch. In the end, it will come down to sound if you decide to make the switch. And personally, I don't like the Magnaflow sound (sounds really tinny w/ headers IMO). Now on the other hand, I absolutely LOVE the ferocious, yet very deep-toned sound of my LT headers + highflow cats + GMMG.
Without cats, no cat-back sounds good to me on the LS1 motor. Period.Mike
Wow, I didn't know that my Magnaflow flowed that well. That's good to here.I think I will spend the $400 or so dollars I saved and spend it on another mod. Thanks guy's.
