Default which exhaust to buy!

im in the market for a new exhaust, the GMMG looks promising but i dont know about spending 650 on an exhaust. It seems like all it is, is piping and something like a bullett muffler. Or should i just get a borla exhaust..... I dont what to get. any suggestions.

If you want quality, with good sound outside, and comfort inside, you can't go wrong with Corsa. Got it on my Z and K2Z's Avalanche. The sound great, fit good, all Stainless. The AV only took 15 minutes to install, the Z could of done it in an Hour, but we were having too much fun!

GMMG sounds awesome, both of my cars have Borla, but in the future GMMG will replace it.

Don't go Borla I had it on my 98 Z with headers and it was way to raspy! I swithced that car over to Magnaflow and that sounded pretty good, it was quiet at idle but screamed once you got on it.
I've got the ATR catback on my SS right now and its really quiet at idle as well, but with a real deep tone
I would reccomend the ATR catback
if you need help deciding go to:
www.ls1sounds.com thats should help

i dont want to go Lanes cause the cars too low, and also it kinda gets lower when i have all my detail stuff in the hatch. It had borla before but i endedup selling it and i didnt think it was raspy at all. The borla sounds great on an LS1 with any cam. As for corsa i think thats too much, but they do look nice. I just dont know if the GMMG is worth the 650.

I like my B&B triflow, it's just a little on the quiet side. I like the tone though.

B&B tips look badass on TA's btw

I heard Borla at a Best Buy several weeks ago and thought I was going that route - until I heard a Corsa last night - thanks again 02SOMZ28!!!

BTW - how much do you rent that hoist out in your garage, Bob?

It really depends on what you want, gmmg soudns bad *** and is pretty loud with full exhaust and no cats. Corsa is waay to quiet in my opinion, its pretty close to stock exhaust until you really get on it. Ive had a couple systems and gmmg is my favorite.
