Default help me out here what exhaust is this? GHL?

ive been quite interested in GHL bullets over my borla stingers for quite some time now. a guy at the local muffler shop mentions to me that he has a used kit. so when i went to check them out yesterday to my surprise they look identical to my borlas. is that what they look like. i mean the mufflers where mine say borla look identical to the other kit but the other kit has no markings (that i could see). for those of you who are running GHL bullets can you post pics of your kit or a link to a sit that has them pictured? thanks

thanks for the pics. i would have to say they look identical to these but they are not polished. the tips are but the mufflers or "can look a likes" are just plain jane. does yours have any marking on it at all that say GHL? my borla stingers look identical to this setup only thing is that the borlas have a huge logo on the muffler that say "BORLA" ill try to get some pics of this kit today and post.

my borlas and all the other ones ive seen have a logo on them. nxt step and gms dont have logos on them? its hard to believe a company would produce an exhaust for a vette and not put their logo on it even flowmaster does it lol.

No, the nxt step/gms exhaust does not have any logos.

If it's like the pictures above only without the polished areas, then it's likely that nxt step/gms one. that's what I have on mine.

GHL is fully polished, if your's aren't - then they are not GHL.

No, my GHL's don't have any markings on them stating they are GHL's.

GHL has never marked their systems. All of our systems are fully polished. There are several companies which I will not mention that have coppied our proto type design. Where did you purchase this system you are talking about? and do you have pictures of this system?

Borla Copied GHL...

Only difference is that Borla forgot to put any engineering behind the muffler part and they resonate.... where the GHL's do not !

i didnt purchase the system. i was about to purchase it from a local muffler shop cause the tech that runs the place swears its a GHL bullet kit but it looks identical to the next step/gms kits that are pictured in my forum. thank you all for helping

I always hear this, but my friends heads cam car with the magnum GHL system is just crazy loud. Louder than my old stingers ever were on my 383 which is higher compression than his car and makes more power. I doubt the 1" bigger can on the bullets will help that much. Most of these cans are straight through design with packing around a perforated core tube. To many people with different mods always comment on exhausts, but don't realize how the car is set up can change the exhaust tone a lot. Stingers on a stock car are just right, on a heads/cam car without cats it's getting a little crazy
