Just Installed my GHL's
My son and I just installed the GHL Magnum system we purchased from Brian two weeks ago.
You have to get the back of the car up pretty high to remove the stock cat-back but we managed to get it out without ruining anything. I was almost ready to get the sawzall.
The GHL's went in perfectly with no trouble at all. After a little tweaking and aligning (I'm a perfectionist) they look and sound absolutely AWESOME.
Itook the car for a ride on the parkway and there was absolutely no interior resonance. When you're going through the gears conservatively it sounds great, but when you put your foot into the radiator everybody looks.
Absolutely the best cat-back on the market for a C5 IMO.
Thanks Brian and Jeff

After my first exposure to the 5" and comparing it to the Borla Stingers, I got to think that the 6" cans are pretty free from resonance. The 5" had some and GHL even says that you will. It is the 6" ones that are advertised to be free and I think they probably are.
I am going to be talking to them tomorrow. Might be moving away from my Z06 TI to the GHL.

I'm the guy with the 'vette jsdanehy rode in. I'm really glad to have met another great Corvette Forum member...especially Jim since I'm not only new to being a Corvette owner and I know I have a lot to learn but also I'm new to Cincinnati.
I'm really happy with the sound of the Magnums. I guess maybe the 'resonance' Jim hears is maybe because he hasn't been to as many heavy metal concerts as me ...or maybe I'm used to loud pipes with because of my Harley.
Sorry to maybe sorta hijacking this thread but I just really like my Corvette and the other Corvette owners I've met so far. Everything is really cool. Thanx.

I have the GHL's also (6" cans) with the 4" quads and can attest that there is no resonance at all. I also have an X-pipe which may or may not have anything to do with the lack of resonance. I love the GHL's and would recommend them to everyone looking for a well built, great sounding exhaust.
