That's also a Mustang, its hard to make one sound bad.

i see so what do you guys think? 2 non chambered mufflers and no res, i want a rumble maybe a little drone

**Bio248** · 04-11-2012

keep a resonator/glasspack in the system, seriously.

and non-chambered mufflers are a good choice, stick with those.

you're on your way to a mellow setup which most of us have learned to like over the straight pipe/resonator delete/flowmaster setups out there that people THINK they like.

**ctracer** · 04-11-2012

the longer the glasspack, the quiter it will be btw. keep a glasspack but if you want some noise then go for a shorter one IMO

**2004GrandPrixGT1** · 04-11-2012

Zzp cat less downpipe, a short glass pack in place of the factory one then two borla xs pro, They sound pretty BA. Really low rumble and don't sound too bad at WOT like magna flow or flow master. With the magna flow 2 1/2 and the flow master 40's and 44's the rumble is okay but around 3300 rpms the sound just goes to hell.

If you don't put a resonator in that thing.

Well, then I'll just apologize for anyone that has to listen to it.

**Sandman** · 04-11-2012

Or turdo swap it

**develand** · 04-11-2012

Get a different car......

Listen to ffdp hes not blowing smoke up your ass. And go on YouTube and listen to peoples crappy exhaust.
I think you were thinking of spintechs cam.

what do you guys think of doing a res then a cut out then stock mufflers?

**Bio248** · 04-12-2012

cutouts are useless and just sounds horrible. waste of money.

**Slick2500** · 04-12-2012

There is not really a way of making the car load and sound good unless you cam your car and make a custom exhaust setup like zpp did for their drag car.

I love these threads someone posts about doing something with their exhaust and everyone says NO but they still insist on doing it, then when they do they come back and say well that was a dumb idea.

i have speed daddy headers (catless), slp catback, and im not a fan, i bought a 30" glasspack to kill the rasp, so hopefully i dont loose hearing lol

Piaf you just cut out the res it's gonna sound really raspy and pop like a backfire when you revv it. If your gonna do something like that put a glass pack in place of the res so the note that comes out the mullets is louder but you don't get the super raspy sound. With the glass pack res it'll make the exhaust overall louder but the mufflers will still keep it sounding decent.

**Oxfire** · 04-12-2012

Just leave it stock. May as well spend the money elsewhere.

**asite57** · 04-12-2012

no guys i cant leave it the way it is its to damn quite it really pisses me off, my buddy has a fire bird with the 3.8L in it and he has cutouts they sound awesome

**asite57** · 04-12-2012

i was thinking of doing this:
after my cat putting this in
Amazon.com: Magnaflow 18125 3.5" Diameter 18" Body Length 2.25" Inlet/2.25" Outlet Universal Glass Pack Muffler: Automotive
then this
JEGS Performance Products 30751 JEGS Exhaust Cutouts
then just into the stock mufflers

**Scottydoggs** · 04-12-2012

you can get a glass pack for for less than that at the local parts store, i got a 32 inch for $22

and the cut out, are you going to the track? or just want to make noise?

**asite57** · 04-12-2012

to make noise and i think the cutout is great because i can make it quite if i wanted to

**blueguy** · 04-12-2012

RWD Exhaust setup > FWD Exhaust Setup.

Your car won't sound like his 3.8 Firebird.

Even with cutouts.

Which also, you only have one...and they are worthless they...shortout, stick open/closed...and are in no way shape or form a worthwhile way of spending money on your car.

For one, it's N/A...so it isn't fast, or quick...and another...a loud FWD 3800 doesn't sound good. Here's a suggestion...

Catless Headers...$175~ from Turbo Kits, Turbo Manifolds, Import Performance Products, SSAutochrome Inc.
Glasspack from your local autoparts store, say...$30
Mufflers, something that doesn't RASP...think...Borla, SLP, Corsa, Dynomax Super Turbo's...$50+...

That will make it plenty louder without breaking the bank, giving you more performance, increase MPG's, and still SOUND DECENT...and not crappy.

And to make the intake side louder...Toss a cone filter on the end of the Throttle Body.

But seriously, read and research...like the link in my signature.

Trying to help you, but you gotta listen to people who know and who have been there and done that and knows what works and what doesn't.
