2006 Stock Exhaust Question

I am new to the board and just bought a 2006 GTO. What is the factory exhaust system on 2006 GTO’s? Mine has Magna Flow Exhaust and I was wondering if that is what all 2006's all have from the factory?

I posted this question on the General Forum; however, I felt it belonged here.

Thanks for the help!

The SAP magnaflows have a different sound. A little deeper and throatier. When my stock ones were replaced, I noticed the difference right off.

Everyone's tastes and preferences are different. Switching to a louder exhaust or improvements in performance Corsa etc have some really nice sounding exhausts too.

The GTO has it's own tone... I was outside yesterday cleaning the interior of mine and I heard a GTO coming, I waited to see it..... an IBM went past, the low rumble caught my ear. That's the first one I recall going past my place.

Sorry, but I am confused. What is an IBM? Do only the SAP models have Magna Flows or just a different type of Magna Flow than the standard 2006 models?

Brien...I am a little confused myself...I think only the stock Sport Appearence Package GTOs got the Magnaflows...I am not so sure on the stock "everyday" GTOs...IBM is an abbreviation for Impulse Blue Metallic (I believe)...mine is QS (Quick Silver) with Red Hot leather interior...
