Of course, I kept my resonator on as well so that may have alot to do with it.

But I have yet to have a single person dislike my exhaust, not that it really matters cause regardless I think it sounds perfect for this v6.
Do you have the 3800 or the 3400?

If its not raspy when you get on it- I bet its a pretty quiet exhaust system (at least as far as aftermarket mufflers go)- keeping the resonator does help a bit too. My favorite 3800 exhaust so far is still headers, no cat, no resonator, and stock 97-03 GTP mufflers. Just loud enough so you can hear the exhaust- but still quiet enough that you don't get tons of rasp.

The SLP Powerflo exhaust on Amy's '05 SS sounds pretty close to that, which is why I'm looking to get it.

Which is exactly what I want, afterall it is just a v6. I hate it when guys try so hard to make their V6 sound like a V8 when in reality it doesn't even come close.

The SLP Powerflow sounds best, in my opinion, for the V6 Monte Carlo
