I put it on in 2010. I keep it nice and polished. If I get the GMMG I will let you know / post mine up for sale.

I hear good things about Magnaflow both in cost/sound.

if plugs are on your list get a good set of wires too.
I just got new plug wires. I have a quote already with new plugs. Just need to pull the trigger on it.

Those are good price. I think I spent more buying each individually at advance auto parts, but that's just because I couldn't wait for shipping with an online order. It wouldn't hurt to put a $20 poly torque arm mount in too. You would be pretty solidified after that.

They're pretty substantial. Especially in our old LT1 cars. My original rubber motor mounts were so sagged that the header collectors were tilting up close to the floor and under torque the motor would twist enough you could head the drivers side collector slapping the floorboards lol. The tranny mount tears apart as you probably already know.

Making everything poly just solidifies everything, putting all mounting locations in proper orientation, while still providing adequate vibration dampening.

KLab how would you described the increase in noise and vibration going from stock to poly?
