I'm still a little afraid of flowmasters on the 3.8s haha

hahaha i was at first but i figured if i didnt like it ill take it off but honestly, i fell in love with the sound haha. There really isnt and kind of raspy chain saw noise like some of them have which im sure thats becaause of the magnaflow resonator. Usually when people put on flowmasters they remove the resonator completely and thats why they have such a chain saw annoying sound. I really wouldnt do my setup over again. I love just cruising around listening to the exhaust. IMO best setup ive heard on a monte 3.8!!

Here are the ones I've got... Can't remember the length off hand, although they were the same length as the stock ones...

Magnaflow Polished Stainless Oval Body Mufflers


THE WIDE OPEN PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE!
MagnaFlow Performance mufflers are 100% polished stainless steel and lap-joint welded for solid construction and rugged reliability even in the most extreme conditions. They feature a free-flowing, straight-through perforated stainless steel core, stainless mesh wrap and acoustical fiber fill to deliver that smooth, deep tone. Mufflers are packed tight with this acoustical material unlike some others' products to ensure long life and no sound degradation over time. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

SLP PowerFlo cat-back, no regrets here... no weed-wacker sound either. Only got better with headers too if you ever plan on going that route (I really need to get a decent sound clip!)

Right now I have a full setup with ZZP headers downpipe and flowmaster super 44 mufflers. Itss loud and sounds really nice. But when it was N/A i just did a ubend delete and resonator delete with the super 44 flowmaster and it sounded great.
