Dual exhaust without sounding gay
 

Hey guys, I just bought a stock 2002 3.8L black camaro. Straight up I love the look of dual exhaust, but in searching through the forums I have discovered many of the dual exhausts sound like a honda civic with a coke can muffler on it.

What exhaust out there sounds decent while giving it that flashy look?


Keep in mind I don't have the money to throw headers or anything into the car to make the exhaust sound better.

Magnaflow? Paarman97maro's sounds preety good.

Is it stock? In the exhaust clips thread many of them have some pretty heavy mods thrown on em.

It just sounds ew. Know what I mean?

magnaflow is probably a pretty good option considering money and stuff. i test drove a 3.8 with a magnaflow system once. it was very nice for a 3.8

magnaflow.

if you really want it to sound good, then spend th extra money for headers.

You could allways go with the center exit..

But no, Magnaflow is probobly one of the best sounding exhausts without other major mods.

Open headers then fake pipes in the back! lol ;)

Pacesetter headers, LT1 3" cat-back piping, custom mandrel bent 3" S-Pipe and cat-delete, single 3" in, dual 2.5" out Cherry Bomb Muffler w/Z-28 clone tipes. Put a cam in it with this exhaust, and you'll drool when you crank it. Quick note though, it is fairly loud; I can drown it out with my radio, and still talk to my passengers, but you can hear it from a couple blocks away (or so I've been told).

That sounds like a flowmaster. I dunno if I like it.

Dont sound that bad, I had flows on my 3.8 when i had one and it sounded ok up to like 4K rpm then it got raspy to all hell.

Not trying to hijack the thread but what would sound good on a 95 3.4?

magnaflow

for any V6 just stay away from Flowmaster and stick to magnaflow. best sound for your money

Well just about any exhaust will sound raspy at upper RPMS no matter what- its the nature of the V6. But everyone else has pretty much covered everything...

Exactly.

The best way to get a good sound out of the 3.8 is to either gut out the cat, or put in a high flow cat, get some headers, and put the exhaust of your choice on it. Personally I dont believe the kind of exhaust makes much difference except in tone. All of them are going to sound rice at about 3k rpm. Even with mine built up, it doesnt sound 'good' at high rpm.
