My car before this had a v8 so im used to gettin great sound from the engine alone lol my monte sounds pretty great right now since it has the duals that came with it but ide like to get a set of mufflers to make it louder and lower, so I guess my question is, 3800 owners what mufflers do you have and do you think you could post sound clips?

 

This is all going to be personal opinion- and you're going to get the usual set of responses from people that think straight pipe sounds best, to flowmasters sound best, to stock sounds best.

The point is, the 3800 is not a very good sounding engine as far as V6's go with any exhaust on it- so generally the louder you make it- the more raspy it gets when you get into it. Its not too tough to make them sound good at idle, but most exhaust really allows the raspyness to come out.

Youtube and streetfire both have a lot of videos of 3800 exhaust clips- make sure you look for GP's too and not just montes since its the same engine, and you'll get more results.

 

what bumpin said.... i go with the glasspack myself...

 

i am a fan of borla. This is my car with CAI, HV3, front powerlog, Random technology 2.5 dp with u-bend delte and high flow cat, and then borla cat back exhaust

HI!
i actually had a 2003 IMPALA LS with the 3800 series V6 in it...
believe it or not, i had Vortex mufflers on it with a glass resonator too.

AWESOME.
the vortex mufflers sounded great, but they got cruddy fast - something ive heard of since. oh well.

i agree, though.. its really preference.

GOOD LUCK!
