Default Dynomax vs. GHL Bullets

Any of you guys running the Dynomax Catback's? How do they sound in comparison to the the GHL Bullets?
I know the GHL sounds great, but Im looking to hear opinions on what sounds better and what the sound differences are.

Well I would never go with the Dynomax, it's 2.5" piping. I'm not sure about the GHL, I can't find any information on the piping size. If it was me, I'd go with the B&B bullets. I have them with ARH's and the sound is awesome. The B&B system is 3" piping.

I have the GHL's on an otherwise stock 99... many folks tell me they sound/look great and inquire about them.

I absolutely love my ghl bullets IMO perfect match between muscle car and supercar... expecially with no cats and some lt headers....do a youtube search for some sound clips. lots of options out there. IIRC my x pipe is a 3" necked down to 2.5 at the ends to connect my ghl's

I love my GHL's on a fully stock 98, not too loud but not quite like the stock and you can carry on a conversion at any speed. The sound is just awesome!

I never heard the Dynomax before but I do have GHL Bullets.

On my Heads/Cam/Longtube header Z06.

Main reason for getting them was to dump the B&B Bullets that droned and rattled my entire interior and my head too...

They have a deep musclecar sound. Mine don't drone. Loud when you get into it, but quiet when cruising. Easily carry on a conversation with passenger. My wife would NOT drive in my Z06 when she heard the B&B's drone. She will drive with me now since I got the GHL Bullets.

Wifes and DRONE do NOT go together! I installed DYNOMAX Muffler on my 85 coupe and they droned so bad that it aggravate even me. The wife avoided that car like the plague.
It got old living with the drone so I wrapped the entire cat back system with 1/4" fire proof fiber cloth and weld shield blanket. It only helped a little bit.

GHLs

I have an entire Stainless Works system (headers to mufflers) on my 02 ZO6! ZERO DRONE!
The sound of GHLs still impress me!
