Depending on what brand, most chambered mufflers also have a stainless packing in the baffles also.
Both types of mufflers have a very distinct sound and tone to them, neither sound like straight pipes at all.
So you're saying this sounds like straight pipes? http://www.eadperformance.com/35thvi...0driveway2.mpg
If anyone wants more info/prices on either type of muffler, send me a PM/email.

SLP loud mouth and GMMG and other chambered exhaust will all sound the same as straight pipes. any straight flow mufflers or bullet mufflers are completely diffrent.

i fail to see your logic. my comparison was MUCH more valid than yours, as mine actually makes sense and yours doesn't. i guess people will only believe what they want to believe.

a good comparison for the gmmg catback would be the $20 cherry bombs.
so...your best bet would be to find the nearest 78 chevy farm truck, look under it to ensure it has no cats, then just take his exhaust.
why am i the only one who doesn't want my ls1 to sound like a redneckified 4x4? jail me for expecting more.

I have GMMG and I get compliments EVERYWHERE I go on it. People roll down their windows at stoplights to tell me how good it sounds (on it, or not).
If you want perfection, GMMG is the way to go. Ive heard quite a few different setups and this is not even just because I have the catback (because I didnt buy it, it came on the car), its just because I mainly bought this car in particular because it had the GMMG on it. The seller bought it for 60$ and thought it was some custom junk catback with resonators on it.

I've gotten the same thing from people of all ages. Sound is a very subjective thing, and the video's you'll find give you an idea, but I suggest you really hear one in person if possible. That being said, I ordered my GMMG back in 2002, and I don't think I've ever heard another one around here. I did base my decision on what I had 'heard' about them on the web - and I've never regretted it!Also, to those who say it sounds like straight pipes or a farm truck - have you heard it in person? How about in the car? All I can say is there must be some great sounding LS1 powered farm trucks where you're from...

The way it sounds is a personal opinion not a fact. Hate it all you want but I love the sound.

Definitely was my first and only choice for a catback. Sounds great on stock manifolds and even better on longtubes and cats. I would hold out for the GMMG in my opinion.

I love my GMMG but it is LOUD with heads/big cam and ory. While its raspy up to 2500rpm, the song it sings above 3500 is the greatest sound ever. It seems to drop decibels right at 4k and at 6800 it is amazing. I do want to take some short bullets and weld them to the y-pipe, and try to make the rasp go away when I am cruising. I just hope it doesn't kill the sound above 4000.

FWIW, I did think about true duals, but I don't like the look of a Trans Am with no tips out the back. If I had a Camaro/Formula, I'd be a true dualing somma-bitch.
