yeah the maganflow is staying. It is a quiet exhaust due to the 24 inch muffler. I would love a gmmg but its way to much to spend. Ill save up for my brake and ws6 work. That and im looking to pick up a 240sx for a track day car.

Gotta say I'm always up in the air with my catback. I got lt's and ory and I still think it's too quiet at times. But I agree when you go full throttle I think it does sound sexy.

I'm just done messing with my exhaust. I have more money wrapped up into catbacks and mufflers than GMMG would have costed in the first place...I'm just gunna buy the chambered catback and be done with it! Take that wallet!

Magnaflow here. No problems whatsoever and there's been no drone and no rattling. It's a little quieter than most catbacks out there but it has good sound at idle and WOT has a great tight sound. We'll see how it sounds on the new H/C/I setup with the LPP headers.

Ive heard them all! GMMG sounds great, but it seems so annoying with how loud it is at cruising speed..
I love my Magnaflow, I dont have ANY drone at ANY speeds..?? And I agree, after the 1.6rr it did sound louder.
I absolutly Love the way it sounds at WOT!
The person I bought my car from told me he pulled the catback off of a 00' WS6 car, so Im guessing it has the "LS1 Catback", but im not sure if it makes a difference.
A buddy of mine bought the exact same exhaust as me(but the LT1 Style) and it didnt really sound the same?? And much quiter at Idle... Mine does have well over 30k miles on it tho..
Here's the difference between Hooker LT, ORY and Magnaflow & same set up with a 232/239 cam!

Bolt ons with 1.6's...



Same with cam...



Love show it off! haha

mine has a little bit different sound to it, and not nearly that much rasp when I let off of it. Hopefully sooner or later I'll have a sound clip with the lil 227 in it. Sounds mean as hell though with the cam.

Yeah mine has a got the lt-4 hotcam. The problem is I like some rasp in my exhaust and there is next to none. So that and it being quiet is the reason I was looking into selling it. By they way if mine sounded like green3spd I would love it.

Thanks bro.. I really like it.. Also, I had my ORY made to my car.. Honestly, I think they did a crappy job but the way they made it, may have to do with the way the rasp is..
I think the Ypipe Rasp belongs on Fbody! Ya, TD sound good but then they sound like Old SBC to me..
And like I mentioned earlier, My catback has several miles on it, Im sure it has something to do with it..
(also have a cutout in garage waiting for me!)
