Default Anyone got exhaust on a 3.8 S/C

I want a video to hear what an exhaust sounds like on the s/c 3800's i want to put one on my dale jr but i dont want it to sound like a lawnmower or weedwacker i want a deep sound to it (kind of like a v8 sound)

Default just got exhaust done

Well ill tell ya the same thing someone told me when i started on the forum, its gonna be real hard to get the sound of a v8 when u have a v6. however you can still get a good sound. Here is a URL to a clip of my dale Jr edition with a resonator delete and a 2.5 inch catback exhaust with duAl flowmasters. You may have to copy and paste the URL sry. Also try bother the URL [url]Http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=RE3YQsQ6438 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE3YQsQ6438&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Agreed, tough to make it sound like something it isn't. Heres my setup, mufflers deleted and resonator replaced with a glasspack.

I have a set of magnaflow knock offs, u bend delete and resonator delete. These are great sounding not raspy. the video is really quiet so turn up the volume. I will post another video soon of it with a little bit of gas. my last monte I had flowmaster 40 series and I loved them! raspy but great sounding. I wanted to see how these sounded and they were free so I couldn't pass it up. I might switch back to the flows though.

I had the SLP catback exhaust on mine. I did have a wizaird CAI installed also - can't remember if I took that video after I put the high flow downpipe on it or before - not a very good video though.

You really wont gain any horsepower from this kind of exhaust work,unless you change your down pipe and do a u bend delete, then you might see some small gains.

I had a RWD 96 Camaro with a 3800 with an aftermarket exhaust. The 3800 and the 4.3L are two of the only V6s that will get close to a V8 sound. My 3800 sounded outstanding. I never put an aftermarket exhaust on my Dale Jr but I imagine it would have sounded pretty mean. I've seen videos on Youtube of Pontiac GTPs with aftermarket exhausts that sounded really really good and even saw one of a late 4th gen Camaro with a 3800 and true duals that sounded pretty wicked. The true duals is hard to do and make it sound good but that guy did it. It was louder than I would have liked but it still sounded good.
