Borla.... Magnaflow sound good though but if you want something louder then get the adjustable Borla system. I mean the passenger side piping is basically a straight pipe & the driver side piping goes through the muffler.

If you go with GMMG with no cats, make sure to get a chambered exhaust powerstick muffler. It will eliminate most of the rasp and refine the deep muscle car tone.

I've found this is completely untrue. GMMG has little to no rasp on a stock motor car with LT's and ORY on the several cars I have heard it on personally.

H/C cars is where it can start to get a little ridiculous.

I have a stock motor with longtube headers and no cats. When I first intalled the GMMG, it was loud and mean sounding. However, between 2k to 3k RPM, it sounded very raspy and crackly. I read on this forum and someone had used the chambered exhaust powerstick muffler to eliminate the rasp. I ordered one the next day and when I finally installed it, I no longer had the raspy annoying sound within the 2k-3k rpm range. It also made it a bit quieter but it deepened the tone. In my opinion, the powerstick muffler in the I-pipe definitely works.
