    so im currently looking to swap out my rusted out and hole gaining stock mufflers. i was wondering what is a good sounding exhaust for the 3.1L engine. im looking for something slightly more aggressive than what i have now. i can post a quick video if you wold like. also if possibler sound clips would be great

    youtube is your friend mang.

    The 2.8/3.1 and 3100/3400 sound worlds better than our 3800's. A high flow converter and chambered mufflers or Borla's sound great...I've heard Borla's before and normally don't like them...but on those engines...I do.

    ya im not a fan of that though.. thats exactly what i would like to get rid of lol i want something more aggressive than stock. i have one of my mufflers leaking now and it has a nice rumble at idle but it drones when sitting at like 2k and doesnt have a good sound to it

    I had a glass pack instead of a CAT and a couple of Flowtech "raptor" mufflers on the back on a 3.1 GP. It sounded good, most people thought it was a V8.

    I have two videos of it, although I made them to try and figure out why it was running rich:

    Find a clip of the NIC cam or click the vid link on the ZZperformance.com NIC cam listing that cams sounds the best of them all. Then take out the 3.2 and swap for a cammed 3.8 LOL fixed
