There is only one catback to put behind an LS1....and that's the GMMG.

If I could afford it, GMMG hands down

I reused my LM1 from the 305 and dont really like it. Ive youtubed extensively and LM2 is the prime candidate for a replacement

I love the sound and look of the Borla.

Here is my brothers 96 Trans Am with an LS1 conversion with an SLP 2 on the Left Exhaust with longtubes and ORY.

Re: which catback with ls1

I'm using a Magnaflow 3" bullet that sounds quite amazing. You could easily make a dual system with those or a y-pipe setup into dual tips, both of which could run out to the rear bumper for the "cat back look".

Eww God no. Those sound terrible.

My vote is a stock ls1 catback with a 3" e-cutout installed.
