Re: Best sounding Cat-back? Hey Drew2G2 I agree with you on the GMMG but thought I would throw the poll out prior to laying out the cash. The GMMG is not cheap.
On a slightly different note, GMMG had an open house this past Friday as part of the Fbody Gathering VI here in the Atlanta area. The product mgr unveiled the Brickyard 400 SS. The car is being purchased by the big rig driver for the Camaro Legends traveling road show. The guys at GMMG are all pretty cool. Maybe that will earn me a discount? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Check out my pics from the Fbody Gathering:

and Flowmaster collector mod and have received many compliments from F-body owners, old school muscle and even some Ford lovers. It idles really low, but just screams at WOT. Perfect for the stealth street setup. When you consider the price
it's an absolute bargain.

Re: Best sounding Cat-back? Check out http://www.gmmginc.net for more pictures of the ZL1. They are dropping the LS6 motor in the camaro for the ZL1.
I think you are referring to a white with black stripe SS that has 435 on the hood. I see the pic name is ZL1 but I was doing these late last night and named it wrong. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Sorry for the confusion. http://www.leadingham.net/pics/May24...-ZL1-435HP.jpg
It appears GMMG will do just about any combo you are willing to pay for <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> There were two 35th anniversary 350 HP cars delivered to two lucky gentlemen Friday night at the open house. The second new owner let his young son (maybe 12) start the car for the first time and rev it up. The crowd of about 100 people cheered him on.

Didn't see you at the GMMG open house but I bet you have been out there before.

Re: Best sounding Cat-back? I just put my car back on the road the other day and all I can say is Swweeeet!!! The Edelbrock catback is still pretty mild at Idle but put a load on it driving and it comes alive. It was quiet with the stock moter and manifolds but had a deep throaty tone ( way better then stock) , now with no cats and Mac headers,hammer cam ,and ported heads it is Awsome . I have heard other exhaust and with the mac headers and orp, they have a resonense that is pretty bad . Not with the Edelbrock, it never has a bad sound. I put a cutout in the I-pipe just incase when I dyno itthat I might loose power I will try it open. The cut out will be a track only mod for me as I like the sound of the muffler <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />
Re: Best sounding Cat-back? The best sounding catback is obviously the SLP Loudmouth <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> so I voted for SLP. The reason I point this out is that in your poll "SLP" could mean either the very stealthy dual/dual or the not-so-stealthy (and my preference) Loudmouth <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />
