Default Granatelli exhaust

I am thinking of purchasing a Granatelli exhaust. Anyone know anything good or bad about them or how they compare to the Pace Car or Stinger sound?

These things have been talked about a lot lately. There really aren't any bad reviews on them. People complain about the clamps being junk, but I haven't had any problems with mine so far. Install took less than an hour, and everything lined up fine. They have very little drone, are quiet on the highway(6speed), and loud when you punch it. I haven't heard pace cars in person, so I can't say which system is louder.

I've just decide to get this system. It sounds awesome, it's T304 stainless, it's inexpensive, and I like the looks of the tips. We are doing a group purchase as soon as we get enough people. The deal is $500 brand new, on your doorstep.

Suggest you send a PM or email to "Tx Ray-C5".

He/we are putting together a group purchase directly from the manufacturer of the Granatelli system for right around $500 delivered. We'd welcome you into the group if you're interested.

Had mine for about a year, got in on the group purchase last spring, no probs with the clamps or the install, great fit/finish, no drone/popping at all, good sound, much like the Borla stingers.....
I can't remember the guy's name at Granatelli, but he was very helpful and good to deal with....

I don't want to step on anyone’s toes but all due respect I do not think you can buy a GMS exhaust from someone for less then you would get it from GMS direct. - try us

I ordered the system! I will put it on as soon as it comes in and let everyone know how it goes.

As most of us know when you buy a stock corvette, it has lots of power but sounds not much better than a family car.

I make pretty good money and can probably afford the $1000 to $1200 for a Borla or Corsa exhaust, but I just can’t convince myself to spend that much. Especially since the only reason I want a different exhaust is so my car will sound like it drives (powerful).

I think the Granatelli exhaust is going to do that for me, and for half the price. Anyway I look forward to posting the results of how it sounds and how easy (or not) it is to install.

Thanks for the vote of confidence - You will find that our fit and finish surpasses that of Borla and our design actually allows for better adjustments then Corsa or Borla. Most importantly we use t304 stainless so paying twice as much is truly paying for the name. Our sound is awesome

I do understand what you said about being able to afford any system you choose. I think at any price you made the right choice

My direct phone number is 805-486-6644 ext 11 - let me know after you install it
