i have a 2002 monte carlo ls 3.4 and i want to do something with my exhaust. i thought about straigt piping it. just cut off the muffler and split it. i was wondering how it would sound... any help will be greatly appriciated!!

 

YouTube has that covered,

 

Youtube is definitely your friend in this scenario.

It all really comes down to what you want your car to sound like. I personally love the beasty tones you can get out of a glasspack, so I replaced my resonator with a dual chamber glasspack and took out the muffler in my 3.4. Gave me a nice grumbly idle and I've had it described to me several times as sounding like a "beast" or "monster" when accelerating. I actually wasn't planning on it sounding as good as it does (I'll have to try to get a video up so I can share).

But anyway, enough rambling. Youtube it, you'll find tons of videos. It's all up to what you prefer.
