I'm looking forward to a sound clip with that lsx. I'm still trying to decide on what exhaust to use on mine.

I think it looks good, and GMMGs sound amazing, wish I could afford them, lol. But my dynomax actually sounds pretty good for now.

Re: GMMG Is on. Tips or no tips?

No tips allowed on a third gen. Body styling does not allow for it. Tips are a fashion faux pas, like glue-on hood scoops.

I thought that they added 50hp to your vehicle! Another 10 if you add Buick style fender holes or Caddy style gills.

Back on topic- I thought I loved how mine looked with tips- I LOVE it even more now without.

Re: GMMG Is on. Tips or no tips?

Tips look just fine on a 3rd gen, its all about the execution, the ones that tuck up under the bumper are kinda sneaky though, people won't know your exhaust isn't stock unless they poke their head up there or can tell by sound, so I guess if you want it to be something of a sleeper you wouldn't want tips, though personally I don't get making a performance car a sleeper, If I do a sleeper it will probably be my corsica.

Re: GMMG Is on. Tips or no tips?

It would be nice if you had a with and with out tips photo. From what I can see it looks as if the with out would look small for a performance exhaust.If you decide to keep the tips I say get the weld on's from a shop.
