Where do you live? If you live within the continental US, the 750.00 price includes shipping. If you get the oval tips, the cost is 900.00. If someone paid 400-550 for installation, they got bent over, imo.

If you live outside the US, then I understand that shipping can become quite costly.

I got mine around Christmas, prior to their latest price increase, for under 700 bucks in a group purchase. The installation is simple enough that it can be done yourself if you have access to a few basic tools and a lift, or jackstands.

I have had a flowmaster, hooker aerochamber, magnaflow- (mufflers only), SLP Loudmouth, and now my GMMG. I will never put a different catback on any of my cars. I think the GMMG is the best sounding exhaust there is for our cars. I get a compliment just about every time I drive it. That and before I put it on the car I took it to work and polished the whole system so it looks pretty bad *** at night when headlights reflect off it. Just my opinion, and to each their own. But like I think I saw posted here earlier. The borla is just a really expensive cutout with tips.

I put my GMMG in today instead of flowmaster. I really liked the sound of the flowmaster and didnt think it could get any better but it def could! The GMMG sound is much deeper and more aggressive. Worth the money imo.

With longtubes and ORY, there isn't any better sound than a Flowmaster. Performance is another story

Borla > GMMG IMO

My buddy had a Borla on his hotcammed '94 Z/28 and it sounded amazing IMO. My SS came with a Borla on it and I wish I had never gotten rid of it.

Here's some videos for you. The White LS1 SS has the Borla with no plate and the 95 has the GMMG. No exhaust mods other than the catback on each. My car was a tad louder but both cars sound amazing. You really can't go wrong with either catback.

I have a few clips of mine. I have Pacesetter LT's, no cats and borla with the 3/4 plate in. I love my borla, it sounds great at idle and is a beast at WOT.
