Re: GHL Exhaust? (mdutton01)
I have GHL's, and love 'em! I replaced my Corsa Indy's with these, and couldn't be happier. The Corsa's sounded great, but IMO the GHL's are much, much better. Very deep all the time, screams at WOT, installation was simple, and the entire system is polished stainless. GHL customer service is also fantastic. I noticed there were some scratch marks on my mufflers after I got them installed, and GHL replaced them immediately. Not only did they not ask any questions or try to get out of it, they actually pretty much made me take new mufflers from them (which, by the way, are mirror-like and scratch-free!!). I can't recommend them enough :cheers: :cool:
Good luck,

Re: GHL Exhaust? (Racer1x)
The fit and finish is the best there is.
They fit like a glove, and are infinitely adjustable for perfect tip alignment. The system is 100% polished; pipes, mufflers, and tips.
The sound quality is awesome, very deep sounding idle, and incredible roar at WOT. But not annoyingly loud, it's still quiet enough inside the car to hear your stereo or passenger while cruising.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy this system again.

Re: GHL Exhaust? (Y2Kvert4me)
I will echo the posts above. I replaced my Corsa Indys with GHL and it is a much deeper tone. Closer to a muscle car sound than the Indys. And....there is no resonance. Best mod I have made. It now sounds like a Corvette should sound.

Re: GHL Exhaust? (indypace78)
I've posted this quite often, I had the first prototype set that I showed at Ecklers last year and they are still on my car, they sound great and on a stock c5 they give 6 or 7 rwhp and torque, but they grow with you they are made for performance cars, when I installed my blower we dyno'd raised the car, dropped the corsa's & bolted on the ghl's re-dyno'd and got 18 more rwhp and torque in addition to the superior sound and look---I still think they make the best system and when they come out with a 3" system I will have those until then I will not give them up, also looking into their LT headers---Bill

Re: GHL Exhaust?
I just put 3.5" GHLs on a few days ago. Great quality, great workmanship. I have a problem with passenger side fit (short and angled), but GHL is super responsive, a great company, they're sending some replacement parts.
I really wanted 2-tip Stingers, their straight-through sound is total 'race car'. But the stingers are too loud (from my reading research) since it's an automatic and a convertible that I drive on the highway. The GHLs and Stingers are the only straight-through designs that I'm aware of, the other mufflers have the in and out the same end.

Re: GHL Exhaust? (mdutton01)
I purchased a set of GHL with the 4 inch round / four tailpipes from L.A.P.D. (Forum Vendor) which I will be installing as soon as my car comes out of winter storage around mid May. The overall quality finish indicates this is a top notch aftermarket cat-back exhaust.

Re: GHL Exhaust? (vic kovner)
Anybody else with a six speed getting popping? I've heard the answer to popping is to install an X-pipe in the for what it's worth category, but no one else has reported popping.

I just got mine on... I have no popping with the Magnaflow X-Pipe and GHL 4".
However I had not done a WOT run with them yet...
