Opinions on GMG vs Sharkwerks exhaust
Opinions ?? The GMG looks very stout and is one piece, less parts to break maybe? I see a lot of Sharkwerks supporters here... any difference in sound?
Thanks

You absolutely will not pass sound at 94 db with mbp pipes. A stock RS wont pass Laguna at 92 db.

And the designs between the two are very similar. I think you'd be hard pressed to hear a big difference.

In my opinion the GMG exhaust sounds better than the Sharkwerks. I'm not familiar with the performance though.

LOL! Good thing you didnt. They are one of the most strict in keeping people within the db limits.

I went with the GMG setup and it's awesome! No db problems @ Road America. I absolutely love the sound. I have no experience with the Sharkwerks option, but I suspect they're fairly comparable.

Thanks guys.... I suspect they're very comparable. I'm kinda leaning towards the GMG since it's one piece.
Thanks

GMG unit also has larger diameter tips as part of the unit; you do not need to spend an additional $300 to get larger tips
