Default Vortec MAX with GMPP SS cat-back pics

I just finished putting a GM Performance Parts exhaust system put on my Vortec MAX. I actually ordered the system that is for the Silverado SS. I also got the double wall angle cut tip that was for the SS. The part numbers for the system were:

GMPP SS Exhaust - 17800765
GMPP SS Exh Tip - 17802143

The system is made by BORLA and the pipes are mandrel bent with a high flow muffler. The tip is double wall, polished stainless steel, angle cut, with a bowtie logo.

You will find below more pics than you want to see. I'm embarrassed that the truck is so dirty, but the weather here has not cooperated lately.

Looks like a nice system. Fitment looks great. Is this kit priced similar to a regular borla kit?

Looks nice. Get that tip welded on that giant clamp that holds in on is an eyesore.

It is actually quite a bit less than a normal BORLA kit. I only paid 404 for the kit and 75 for the tip. Pretty good deal if you ask me. It sounds pretty good too. Not too loud, but has a deep mellow tone.

You can only see the clamp if you are down low like I was when I took the pics. You don't normally see it. Besides, after I beat the crap out of the tip driving down gravel roads camping and fishing, I can just replace it if it is clamped on

I thought the GMPP exhaust kits were made by Corsa and not Borla. The muffler case looks polished like the Corsa kits.

It's made by BORLA. I actually talked to Jay Reinhart from BORLA's OEM Development Department. He is the one who gave me the GM part number.
