Borla, Flowmaster or GMMG, Inc exhaust? Please help

Which company should I buy from? GMMG is the company who make the Intimidator SS and the Berger SS. Borla is lifetime warrenty and Stainless steel.

What does everyone think?

First off, BEAUTIFUL car man!!! :hail: But the stripes around the GFX's aren't my thing. Anyway... If I had the $ I'd go with GMMG, but a very good alternative that is also ALOT less $ is hooker catback. It's like 200$, but you'll need to have a shop weld it up cause it's designed for a different connection to the cat. Mark should be here sooner or later to show ya what it sounds like. It's a great system for the price, and also outflows almost everything else out there. People have had problems with the fit of the borla system, and for over 500$ I just don't think it's worth it. I have the flowmaster on mine right now, and don't get me wrong, it sounds better than stock - but just about EVERY domestic out there has flowmaster and it's not unique. And it doesn't flow very well either(kinda ironic eh? Flowmaster, get it??? :sillylol: ) I'm getting hooker catback as soon as I can afford it and headers.

due to mark i think every thirdgen is going to have a hooker catback
anyways, most all aftermarket street mufflers are going to flow about the same. does stainless steel make a difference?

Sorry guys, just got back from the movies (The Rookie is a good one to see). Sound clip is in the signature.

Most cat-backs will flow equally on our setups, but once you start building some serious HP the Hooker will be among the best.

Paid $200 for mine and had to have some fabrication.

1988 5.7 IROC, I like the stripes also. I'd say go with GMMG (what does that stand for?) or Borla. Of course for the price of GMMG, you could have a custom exhaust or custom dual exhaust made for your car.
