Also I could run full power on the GV OD and never worry about it breaking. You can't do that with the 4L80 for long. Not at 1000+ numbers. I don't care what your trans builder tells you.

There are 5.3/6.0/6.2's here in Fort Wayne all dumped before the front tires in different configurations. All sound worse than a LS1 cruising with a loose stall and a ypipe AT IDLE. Which is pretty bad imo. All opinion doesn't take away that the car looks good and is fast. A wide LSA cam with lower compression dumped out basically like a open manifold muffled very little by larger turbos not spinning much rpm at idle just doesn't sound good to me. I bet I would like the sound with full exhaust a lot better.

No doubt about it being faster and more reliable with a glide. I loved my glide and I loved the T56 too but IMO I would never go back the a stick car. The key is power vs. weight ratio and gear/tire selection. Get those categories perfect and a glide in the street is an absolute dream to drive.
I often laugh at all the BS comments I read online about how a glide isn't street friendly. 99% of those people have no clue what they are talking about. It's like anything else. Be thorough in your research and select the right components and you'll be happy.

Cars are all give and take. My only guess to try and fix that would be run full exhaust thru mufflers and resonators then have a electric cutout dumping it straight out the side or somewhere with a direct route. Or, who gives a **** it does what it is intended to do keep making videos.

I have it running all the way through my borla adj catback and have an electric cutout. You wouldn't even know it was a turbo'd car until you saw where the foglights are out and can see the intercooler. The cutout is right behind the front wheels and is definitely noticed when open. But when it's closed it sounds like it only has exhaust and is pretty stealthy and I have the plate out of my borla bypassing the muffler

Weight, size and power robbing %. The shorty glide/GV OD setup weight 3lbs more than my T56. And was 3/4" shorter. Didn't rob anywhere near the HP and was very compact.
Also I could run full power on the GV OD and never worry about it breaking. You can't do that with the 4L80 for long. Not at 1000+ numbers. I don't care what your trans builder tells you.

Hey man not trying to derail the actual thread but I have a turbo 408 SS that is a T56 car and it is starting to whine in first, second and third and I was wondering what info you could give me switching form a manual to an automatic. I have been fighting it because I just love driving a stick but I am thinking the car will be faster and hold up better with an auto.
