Sounds great Chip. Now for some interior sound recordings, ie normal shifting, cruising & wot. Eventually I would love to hear it on a stock set-up.
You say your system is the twin sister of the GHL system. Are you going to able to compete with the GHL price? I was pretty much sold on the GHL system. What makes yours more desirable over the GHL?

We will be around the GHL price, but the tip section for our set up is significantly more expensive to make. maybe $100 or so...
The difference in sound, although slight comes from our tip configuration.
Under 3000 rpm, the two systems are pretty much identical.
Over 3000 rpm, the predator system gets a little more crisp sounding...

Chip,
Since GHL's are going for 899.00 shipping included, then what is the difference between the two? Is it worth paying the extra 100.00 if they look and sound the same. Is the difference in the tips? I love the look and sound of your system.

We wanted to use GHL's 6" Cans because we knew by trying other things, that we could #1 fit the can on the system, and #2 we knew it was proven low or no drone.
If you had 2 C5's, one with each system...
At idle you would be hard pressed to tell them apart unless you were standing directly behind the car. (which is what we wanted...a nice deep muscle car idle)
At higher RPMs the systems start separate in sound. The GHL's continue to have that deep classic muscle car sound they are famous for.
The Pedators sound at upper RPMs gets sharper. To my ear it's crisper, more of a tuned sound.
Remember, the length and specific bends and pipe transitions have just as much to do with the final sound as the cans do...
Best of both worlds if you ask me, they really turned out way better than I could have ever hoped for...

They don't look the same or sound the same over 3500 rpm. Our different tip design changes the placement of the tips and creates a unique and different sound, especially at WOT.

If that is the case, then perhaps when I can afford a new set of pipes, which still seems to be in November, then I will go with your system. To be honest, I have heard several clips of the GHL's, but always on a car that had been modified somewhat, with cam, heads, etc... Yours sound really nice on a basic stock unit. Would it make any difference if I would add headers and X pipe? If so, how would the sound differ. I have heard cut outs on a stock vette and I was not that impressed with the sound.
