what's goin on everyone, so i have a 03 ss 3.8l i just got the cat replaced cause it was clogged. tomorrow i am goin to get a resontor delete because that has a hole in it. has anyone only had the resonator removed if so how does it sound, and should i go with flowmaster or magnaflow out of those two which one would sounds better on are cars.

Out of all the exhaust systems out there for the 3.8, Borla Exhaust sounds the best. Only thing is they cost like $1,000. If you can I think you should just replace the resonator, maybe with an aftermarket resonator if you want it to be a little louder. The 3.8 without a resonator sorta sounds crappy, I think. But between Flowmaster and Magnaflow go with Flowmaster, with a downpipe, that helps the sound. Still, if you want good sound save up and buy Borla, or Corsa.

If you want a deep rumble and you are on a budget go with Dynomax catback (non stainless that costs around $400) or SLP catback (Stainless that costs around $520).

Flowmaster will be louder. The magnaflow is usally deeper and mellower. Make sure you check some you tube clips for how they sound first.

You're welcome man, just post the sound clips or videos as soon as you get everything taken care of, I wanna see how it turns out.
