A nice name brand complete Cat-Back has been tested on the car it goes on. A custom exhaust is simply thrown together by some who has no clue what will perform only what fits.
I will pay th e extra $$$ to have a tested and name brand product on my car.

Well yeah alot of people can just through one together but if you do your homework its not hard to come up with a very well designed system that works for half the price. Have a shop bend 2.5" pipe w/resonator and your choice of muffler it will perform and sound just as well as the others not to mention everything will be welded together instead of being bolted together. Save your money for other mods .

OK, Yes you can still se a HP increase from a custom exhaust but what about noise?
The major name manufactures tuned the resonator and muffler to the car.
Anyone can slap a ricer sounding exhaust together, I prefer a refined sound.

they also have a wide range of resonator lengths to suite each persons taste . Anyways not trying to debate on whats best, as nothing is really "the best" just letting people know there is an alternative to the expensive pre-made systems out there that when done right sound and perform just as good.

SOLD (when I have the money for it that is). By far the best exhaust I've heard so far, you should ask your salesman if they'll give you a commission on it. My hands are tied as far as purchases go right now because I'm in between jobs, but as soon as I hear back from my interview from the other job (I'm hoping I have it) I will probably be picking this up.

Hey for those who have the magnaflow do I have to get the thing welded on or can i just install it myself by just unbolting the stock one and bolting on the Magnaflow?

I really would like to keep my SS all GMPP but, does anyone know if theres any truth to the rumor that GMPP is also going to have an exhaust made by Corsa?
Thank you Doc for the videos also. Those will really help anyone who is considering the GMPP exhaust.
Anyone here have the GMPP touring yet?
