That sounds really good. Not as loud as I was expecting actually, but a very deep, good tone. Gonna be even sweeter when you get LT's.

sounds a lot deeper in person.. espically on a cold start. wow the rumble. but when warmed up still loud.. when at WOT, sort of sounds like a mustang with dumped flowmaster!! kind of quiet thought it would be louder????

Your horsepower will be slightly higher because you got rid of your cats. Otherwise, when I was living in Atlanta, I was with GMMG when they ran some Highly modded (500 + horsepower) cars on the dyno. They ran open headers, and then with the GMMG on. There was only a 3 horsepower difference between open headers and full exhaust. So, I hope you really enjoy your sound before you get rid of the GMMG, you might be buying it back.
