Searching = Your best friend!

This really has been asked ALOT.

I will say GMPP is a great product at a great price.

But really, search.

welcome ! and searching can be your best friend on here some days. not flaming ya because your brand new. but dont get a 3in exhaust unless you plan on some major mods. stick with gmpp or a decent sounding 2.5in.

megan is nice i have one. but with the ss/sc bumper it hides a lot of it so you dont really see the whole fart can look of it. but mine on the other hand looks like one till i start it up

always comes up. ONE person got 12 hp. that proves nothing. proof is repeatable, not some weird one time thing.

I agree, but people say it is a waste when I see no proof at all of a car not getting a gain out it. That is unless someone can show me a dyno where they were stock, then put the exhaust on and didnt gain anything?

I found that the the GMPP sounds the best, I also noticed a gain in power over the stock exhaust, I was really impressed, wasnt expecting any noticable difference it may be 2.24" but its absoluatly stright through muffler, if you wopuld even call it that looks more like a resonator, excellent flow! Definatly feel it in the butt dyno!

I researched a long time for a cat back system and went with the GMPP in the end, and I am very happy with it

If your only putting a cat back on and not change the stock downpipe , the 2.25-2.5-2.75'' arguments are irelivent . That 02 sensor crush point is going to restrict you in any case .

GMPP is only 2.25" diameter which is the only draw back. The corsa, IMO, sounds the same as the GMPP but it is 2.5" diameter.
