Yea, I'm happy with it, just what I was looking for.

I haven't heard the Magnaflow in person, but it sounded real nice on LS1sounds.

The stock catback was just too quiet IMO for this sort of car, and the GMMG isn't too loud, but is aggressive at the same time.
I was kind of surprised by how loud it is, IMO a lot louder than stock, but I like it, esp at WOT.

I would of liked to hear a selection in person before purchase, but living in the UK, hearing different combos on f-bodies is not easy, as these car were never sold here.

Anyhow, thanks for the advise, I'm off for some more WOT action!!

GMMG is a great system. On stock manifolds and on longtubes, the sound is simply amazing. I get compliments all the time on how good it sounds.

I was satisfied as hell with my GMMG on stock manifolds/cats ... it sounded beautiful and I was happyw ith it...

after my LT's/ORY... i can no longer say I am just satisfied and happy with it... I ******* love it, it puts a smile on my face every time I hit the gas, even when I have the stereo up loud... I've never been more impressed with a catback like I have with the GMMG. I can easilly say that if I get another F-Body for a toy or project or whatever, even a 3rdgen... GMMG is likely the only way I'll go

Get the GMMG sound for ALOT less.

Just buy some chambered mufflers for ~50 bucks a piece and weld them into a SLP LM.

This thread is old, and I have since slightly changed my mind. Flowmaster Duals > GMMG.
