Well I want to hear it with stock manifolds and cats! I don't plan to get headers anyways! So thats why Im curious how loud it will sound with stock everything.

I regretted going with a mild cat-back over a "loud" good sounding one. Wished I just got the slp from the beginning. Settled with the borla catback which basically was a cutout before the muffler. Do the SLP, the only thing that might mildly suck is going to work at 6am. Only complaint I ever got 
My most recent set-up was headers with cut outs right on the y pipe, then had a flowmaster 50 series (suv muffler i think) for quiet driving late at night ect. This by far was my favorite, Might want to look into having a shop just weld up a cut out after your y pipe.

Anyone have experienced with gmmg? Is it worth the $$$$?

What year is your car? I think on 97 & 96 maybe? you don't need that additional piece for the system to work. IIRC the only difference between ls1 cat-backs are hanger locations. Which a shop can easily fix.
I'd just buy the SLP and park your car's *** away from the neighbors.

I guess what I really want is a tamed sound where I don't disturb people driving by early in the morning, but, when I floor it, it sound down right nasty! These lt1s stock are too quiet =(.

I got a dynomax bullet on mine, Part #24222. Took it to the exhaust shop and showed them a picture of the TSP Rumbler catback and told them thats how i wanted it. Costed me about $200 plus the $50 for the muffler. Its pretty loud i gotta admit but i love it, I get compliments all the time. Stock manifolds, stock y pipe but no cats. Screams at wot! haha The idle is pretty loud but its deep, sounds badass. During normal cruising it has a good tone for being how loud it is. If your going to keep your cats, its still going to be pretty loud. Not to bad though.

Couldn't find my LM1 video, but I have a Dynomouth one (LM1 with Dynomax bullet in place of resonator). This is stock manifolds and cats.

Nah i dont..dont got a good camera to record with :/ But i found a video on youtube that has the same muffler, sounds exactly like mine.. but the video still doesn't do justice on how it sounds in person.
And well they built mine from scratch basically, but its not stainless...just the tips are. Most exhaust shops should have stainless piping though.

Running a magnaflow here. Great crusing exhaust and manual cut outs for the track. I have several buddies with magnaflow systems and we all love them plus they are stainless systems!
