Other than tips, what's better about the GXP exhaust?

Larger piping from the res back, larger inlet and outlet from the mufflers, and believe it or not it made the exhaust quieter....both at idle and no more chainsaw sound above 3K rpm's

before i had 3 inch from the headers and the resonator removed and replaced with a 3". after that 3" it necked down to 2.25. Now it goes from 3" to 2.5"

Odd the GXP got larger piping. The L67 outflows it. Maybe they didn't care about low-end torque.

Go to walmart and pick up a "paint pen", I cant remember if I used a fine tip or medium tipped one. They're in the arts/crafts section if I remember correctly.

The GXP tips look phenomenal, nice choice.
