GHL Bullet Quads here
No Resonance........nice rumble.........NICE WFO Talk........BUT
The firing order being different now......they don't sound exactly the same.....I had a 450 hp Big Block in 69.......they sounded different in those days.......BUT the GHL sounds REAL nice and looks SO FINE

Everyone should hear the 3 in system
Headers
3 in x pipe
3 in cat back
Closest thing to an old big block sound and super performance IMHO

I just put Borla Stingers on my vette along with two buddy's vettes. They sound just like what your describing, in my opinion. I'd recommend hearing the exhaust on a vehicle to make sure, but the Borla's really sound good.

my hearing is pretty darn good for a 66 yr old . . . . I lived in the 50s and 60s . . . I find it difficult (IMHO) to think that any Borla Stinger is going to give a LOW RUMBLE sound just step on it and run it through the gears . . not a rumble in my opinion

we all hear things differently

I have not yet heard any aftermarket exhaust sound that did not sound nice . . . they all sound great . . . just different

Yep, thats why you need to listen to the different brands in person to decide which suits you best.

Vstella:

Like that cam sound--which one is it? The mufflers sound good also--my speakers cannot pick up the bass part of the sound though. Nice car!

It is hard to get rumble without cubic inchs and also you can't idle these motors down to get the lopey rumble because of the computer. I just got back from a Good Guys Pre 72 Car Show at Texas Motor Speedway it was rumble HEAVEN.

GHLs are deeper and Corsas higher pitched. Once you add headers the tone changes. I had GHLs on stock which were fine but had to go to Corsa Tourings to tame the resonance after headers. Car sounds like a Ferrari now.

GHL's do have a nice deep throaty rumble. Until Tuesday all I'm running is MF X-Pipe and GHL Bullet w/ Bullseye tips.

Tuesday is mod day, however.

LG Pro Long Tubes with No Cats

THEN we'll see about some rumble.

But to get the lope you're looking for you'd need a big cam

Good Luck!

Michael
