I am going to put an exhaust on my SS but I am not sure which one will sound the best. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I put a SLP Loud Mouth on mine. Best bet is to hear the cat back if you can to see if you like the sound.
Borla also has a nice one also that you have 3 plates that can be changed/Will give a different sound. A little more expensive though.

I've got the GMMG Inc chambered system on mine and can't say enough good things about it. Everyone who hears and see's it loves it too.

Best advise i can give you is hear it first on an LS1.....but then even i don't listen to my own advise,...LM sitting in my living room, and i'v never heard it on an LT1...

I have heard Borla and FlowMaster are very good. Posted by Carrie (Member # 1947) on :
I love my Corsa. But that's me. The Corsa is expensive tho. Badrag does have the best advise tho. It's better to listen to them first. I also like the GMMG exhaust as well. Again expensive.

From what I have read and heard Magnaflow is also a winner.
And I also agree with the above statements to listen to them if you can to decide which may be the best that suits you.

I have a magnaflo on the Cobra and I like it alot.....but I am not sure how it will sound on the LS1. Your right though my best bet is to hear them first. Thanks for the suggestions now I know what to look out for.

You need to hear them in a car like yours ... body style, transmission and rear gears .... From the outside, and especially from the inside ...at speeds you tend to travel.
I have a Spintech Pro Shootout 4441 muffler on a Mufflex Style single concealed pipe system. It works for me.
I didn't take my own advice and didn't get it right until the 4th try.

It depends what you want.... I have the SLP CME on my car and its nice and mellow.... in fact it's just not loud enough for me. So... I think the plan is to switch it to a GMMG. I want it LOUD... since I don't drive the car much it doesn't matter how loud it is... my rational is a muscle car should be loud!
My dad has a matching 02 SS. I work with Corsa on some stuff for GM and it has an awesome sound! Plus you gotta love the premium tips... I bought it for my folks as a suprise.... their saying (corsa) is wisper quiet at cruise and awesome sound at full throttle.... I'm starting to sound like I'm in sales again.... anyways I really like it. In the end what you should get depends on what you want to spend and the sound your looking for....

I have a flowmaster muffler, plus a DMH electric exhaust valve mounted on an exhaust cut-out pipe located under the passenger side back seat. I located the switch for the valve in my ash tray. When I want it quiet (well as quiet as the flowmaster is)I close the valve. When I want it loud, I open the valve. I would recommend you keeping your factory muffler, and get the DMH valve set-up too. The valve, switch, and the cutout pipe is around $200.00. You can get an exhaust shop to weld the pipe in for about $50-60, and install the switch yourself. Not only does the car sound good with the valve open, but you will get a boost in performance. I picked up 2 tenths in the quarter with the valve open.

I have to agree,the GMMG Chambered sounds very nice. Posted by Kevin V 2002 SS (Member # 1025) on :
When I put on headers, I'll need to look for something besides the LM. I have it on now but it may be too loud with headers. Of course I will also put in an electric cut-out.

Thanks everybody... I love the idea of a cut out! I never even thought about that. I appreciate the advice.

I just had a GMMG system installed on my SS with SLP CME. I LOVE IT! I do not drive the car everyday either but if I did the GMMG would not be annoying. The GMMG has an AWESOME muscle car sound. I am planning on headers in the future so I look forward to hearing what it sounds like then.

Same here! Posted by iroc961 (Member # 1547) on :
GMMG all the way! I've had mine for about htree weeks now. I absolutley love it. I wasted $1K on the 345 package with the dual/dual setup. It sounded like my father's Oldsmobile. Now the SS has some real snarl! Nice rumble at idle, and screams at WOT. Go for it. Worth all of the $700.00 cost. Posted by KWIK SS (Member # 2051) on :
Corsa...sounds and looks great!

I've had the Borla and the Loudmouth.
I think the Loudmouth is the best bang for your buck.
Your best bet is to listen to both of them.

GMMG for the GREATEST loud muscular sound...bar none.
Magnaflow for less loud, but louder than stock or dual-dual. Magnaflow has an awesome sound too...thats what I went with on my 01 SS.
I love the GMMG...its just a bit loud for me at 36 years old....
If I want loud, I get in my 68 Camaro which has dual 2 chamber Flowmasters...now thats an Exhaust note...
This is my opinion on Borla and FLowmaster on an LS1. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Borla being much worse than Flowmaster.
Now...Flowmaster sounds great on an LT1 or classic muscle.

I went with the Corsa and it looks and sounds awsome. If you are going to the Gathering in September you can hear virtually every exhaust system known to man in one place. I'll be there, I'd be glad to let you hear the rumble.
