Agreed X2

I voted GMMG based on that list, but some of the true dual setups I've heard (over the axle only, though) that sound F***ing amazing.

I've ran many catbacks with GMMG being my favorite followed by Magnaflow.

I am old school, but I really like the Borla.....

Stainless, adjustible, and good looking(IMHO)

I had a flowmaster catback then replaced the flowmaster muffler w/ SLP LM and its sounds 10X better, only sounds good with stock exhaust in my opinion, once i get my headers im going with gmmg

i loved my SLP catback, nice loud and mean. Just added long tubes and ORY very raspy and loud, i personally love it but many people said it was too much. I also hear good things about GMMG if I had to choose a 2nd catback!

I miss my adj. Borla exhaust. It had a distinct "wicked" sound.

I have Borla and like it a lot because I can change the tone with the plates it came with. But corsa is a pretty nice exhaust also.

2otl is the best sounding for the money, i just cant see spending close to $700.00 for gmmg exhaust when 2otl or a cut sounds just as good.

Here's a idle/rev with my borla and dmh e-cutout.

http://video.cardomain.com/clip.aspx...CE94B58298D980

I also like the sound of flowmasters outside the car....Inside while crusing has way too much drowning noises.

Also heard some spintech mufflers and they sound sweet as well.

Spintech does sound NICE, but I have personally seen 2 cars pick up oVER 20 by switching to another muffler alone.

One was a 408 LS1 and the other a SBC 427 thirdgen...

Voted Borla...I love it because you can make it louder or quieter just by changing the plate in it. I get TONS of compliments on the way my car sounds. But one down fall with borla is the tips are ugly as hell IMO.

i voted slp because it sounds good with stock manifolds and cats, plus you can change the resonator out for a borla and sound sick as hell with headers, all while staying a few hundred dollars cheaper than corsa, borla, and GMMG.

but i will stick with my true duals...
