here's an exterior mods idea for you. i don't think you saw my car yet, but here it is. roof rails would look bad *** on your monte i think. the last pic of the hood scoop is photo shop btw.

Whoa, yours does look pretty sweet. Good job on the rims. And where did you get that hood from? It has that big bulge, never seen that before. I'm also looking at putting some "SuperSport" stainless steel decals on the car somewhere, once I get further along.

The Summit's are aluminized, so they could rust. I'm also in IN, so what I did to try to cure/treat the issue before it arises is I painted them with high temp engine paint. I did two coats on each muffler before they were welded up and had the shop paint every weld. I don't think I'll have any problems, but I will keep a close eye on them.

If you like the sound of Borla- a lot of 3800 guys seem to like the Borla ProXS mufflers- maybe try findind some youtube vids of them?

That was the only Borla exhaust on the 3800 Monte. I've found a few Borla's on the 3800 Camaro or Firebird, but those cars sound a lot different with any exhaust than the Monte. And what do the ProXS mufflers do different?

I really like the interior of your silver Monte Carlo. How did you get all the lights inside to go blue? And what does that cost? I'd REALLY like to switch mine over to something like that, it just makes me drool, it's a very unique touch.

Are you only looking for a complete catback or are you also looking at muffler swaps and such. Thats what the ProXS's are, just a replacement muffler- I don't know what line of Borla comes with the catback.

They sound different- most manufacturers have different lines of mufflers with different volume levels and tones (like flowmaster has 40 series, 60 series, etc).
