Well the video doesn't do it justice. It sounds better now that I have worked out some of the whirr. Its suprisingly throaty for a 3800.

I been thinking about slp power flows. Whats the stock pipe size? I thought it was 2.25 but it seems smaller than that.

Somebody cut on money and put In ****ty pipe. You should getthe whole thing replaced with 2.5" pipe and 2.5" mufflers. From the res back atleast. Shouldn't be to expensive.

At the y-pipe it does get down to 2.25 I believe.

NA 3800s don't sound too great when they are loud, boosted ones sound pretty good. I have a full magnaflow cat-back, it was made for GM performance parts, but was recently discontinued. I always thought it was a good sounding exhaust, not too loud, but it did have drone at around 45mph

I have had drone since before I took the res off. Not bad but its there. Mine is definantly 2.5 all the way back. Or I could be mistaken but the Y looks the same as the rest of it
