Default GHL exhaust

I was looking at their website and noticed they don't list the 4 tip, catback system with the 6" mufflers anymore. Does anyone know if they have discontinued this?

This was their 1st choice, but the owner wouldn't sign their release & their offer of $1,000,000.00 was too low..

Even with the American Racing Headers, the GHL is very quiet in the cabin and it is very tolerable on long trips.

Chris,
I have a vert and the top is always down 95% of the time so it is alittle more noisey than a coupe but the cabin resonance is not bad at all in fact we never pay any attention to it at all and we have been on several 1000 mile trips in the vert and the wife never complanes she dose like the sound of it and when you put the pedal to the floor there is not a exhaust system out there that sounds better the the GHL in my opion.
hope this helps

Randy

...for the most part. I noticed very slight resonance from about 1400-1500 rpm. It's really not that bad, though.

I installed the Bullets on my vert a month ago, and took a 1300 mile trip last weekend. Top up, the exhaust was barely louder than my runflats at 72 mph (with sound-proofing installed). Top down, you might be alble to hear them under the same conditions.

It sounds really nice. It has a nice, deep rumble at idle and sounds authoritative at full throttle. I highly recommend it!

6" magnums=zero resonance.(on a coupe or FRC) 5"= slight resonance, slightly louder tone overall.

Get the 6" magnum

With LT's, high-flows, and an X-pipe, the Magnums are LOUD (enough to hear while driving, but only really really loud at WOT). Very slight resonance, but hardly audible over the tire noise at cruise.

Mine idles at 103dB (cold), and settles to about 98dB idle when warmed up. Measured with SPL meter at 3' from the pipes, c weighting, slow response.
