I love the sound of a gmmg exhaust with a catted y-pipe. Without the cats there is some rasp but still sounds good imo.

I love my B&B. Quiet at cruising speeds, and screams when you jump on it. It also looks killer. I bought it because not too many people run it. It only got a little bit loud when I finished my h/c combo. AND I have LT's and ORY and no rasp at all.

I really like my Borla. There's little to no rasp with the QTEC closed, and it screams with the QTEC open.

What's there to loose?!

How does GMMG, in terms of loudness, compare to others like Borla & Corsa?

Here is my order in terms of best quality sound, as these are all the cat-backs I have heard in person/had.
TD > GMMG > Magnaflow > Corsa > SLP > Borla
All have their strengths and weaknesses except TD's, it is flawless soundwise and simply the superior option, but is also the most expensive.

depends on the set-up you get. if you get the TD dumped at the axel, instead of going around the rear end, it will be a lot cheaper. speed inc has them for $500 i believe dumped. however, it will be louder.

I've had the OEM SLP dual/dual and a Flowmaster 80 series in the past. You should look into an SLP "2 on the left" if you can find one. I've had mine on for 4 years..... best sounding that I have heard, and definitely has the lowest tone I have heard. very deep. Plus the single side exit is unique. They are out of production, but you do see them for sale from time to time.

You should really just spend time listening to different setups to decide on what you wants, as everyone that posted in this thread just voted for whats on their car.

True, dumped TD's is a good price, should have said I was talking about extending them out the back.
