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. |
maganaflow is a good choice, but i love my SLP Loudmouth. Especially at idle, I just love how it sounds. Never been to fond of the flowmaster exhaust. My favorite exhaust is the Borla, and I'd so trade my exhaust in for a Borla if I could get a decent price.

It seems the TSP rumbler is the exhaust of choice at CV6

well i LOVED my 3.4 at idle. especially after my cam. but past half throttle or anything above 2500 rpm was so gay. get a magnaflow and keep everything else stock it will keep the rasp and **** down.
heres my clip for the dude interested. this was a cam, ported heads, stock manifolds, gutted cat, flowmaster muffler: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...mmedPorted.flv |

Custom, Magnaflow, Elderblock, TSP, SLP are your best choices to go for on a 3.8l. As stated no matter what you put on you will have rasp at some level or point. |

Insurance: V6>LS1 (depending on your state and record) The v8's get better highway mileage than the 3.8's, i'll have to find the thread about it, but its true. If it tells you anything crazylegs, I get about 12mpg on my 3.8L. |
I average 24mpg, I filled my tank up drove around like normal and did the math. Then again as cars age they suck down gas crazily. My old 4 cylinder 100HP van got like 10mpg haha.
