GMMG and Borla are both stainless. GMMG is deeper, Borla is raspy.

I've never heard the GMMG in person. We have several people in town with Borla. Myself included, LT's, ORY, and no plate. It's loud but, I like it that way! Plus, I barely get any noise inside the car. I think you would be happy with either one.

To each their own I guess in the end. I would trade my true dual setup for a GMMG straight up any day!

I was in the same situation but got the GMMG through the GP. After getting it on i knew i made a great decision. My friend has borla on his, and i think mine sounds a lot better.

Sound is subjective; that's why different people like different kinds of music. I don't think either exhaust is going to sound bad, so just listen to the movie clips of each exhaust and decide which one you like the best.

I prefer the GMMG, but, as you can see, some don't.

I'm not a fan of either really, GMMG is blatty and booty sounding to me and borla is odd its mean but overly refined.

Neither is a bad exhaust though.

Why not get what you like more then what we like unless you are giving us your car. If you are pm for shipping info
