thanks

and one more question, i was thinking the other day about just cutting the muffler out and putting a pipe in its place, so that the exhaust will still come out of the stock tail pipe. but i couldnt test the sound on my car cause the muffler clamp is rusted shut, but i did test it on my friends 3.7L jeep, and it sounded pretty good. and i was just woundering if i did do that, if it would affect the performance of my car? and if it would increase or decrease my hp and fuel mileage?

thank you

I'm not a big 3.8 buff, but I know it would increase your hp (how much I'm not sure), and I'm not really sure what the impact would be on fuel economy...I wouldn' think it would change it much either way. I don't think it would hurt anything because it would just be similar to straight exhaust reminiscent of the "old days" w/ guts lol. Depending on what you wanna spend though, I would still look at the TSP Rumbler, like Adric said Magnaflow, or (more pricey) Borla and Corsa.

I also agree, get the TSP Rumbler.... and open headers = big no no on the v6's. It sounds as rice as you can get.

open headers or anything off the exhuast sounds good at idle... thats it.

I wouldnt take the muffler out, its gonna sound like aids. Not to mention your backpressure would be absolute **** and would take you like 15 seconds to get to 60.

Add 2 more cylinders!

Seriously though, TSP or Magnaflow is what I'd go with.
