x2 for Magnaflow here. I have the GMPP exhaust system on my car, and it is T-304 SS.

These exhaust systems are made from high-quality T-304 stainless steel to not only look great, but to also guarantee a long life.

I live in the Poconos, I put it on in the winter, and it's still looking amazing. Sounds really great too.

For exhaust systems, you just have to make sure you know what it is made out of, and fi you like the sound. END of story. That's how you choose what you want.

lol again i must stress how i wasnt trying to know magnaflow. they sound great. with my personal expirience one of there products did not last long, and was replaced. the cat back setup from them is made from t409.
maybe some individual mufflers are made from t304.


i replaced mine cause 2 local muffler shops and a dealer told me that my exhaust was imaculate. and it looked and sounded great untill i drove for over 5 minutes then it would make a very annoying popping noise at red lights and drive threws. very embarrasing.

get whatever you want. most ppl on here spend about 350-450. from going from a single to dual. im sure you can go cheaper if you want.

Hey Monte 3831,

Did you end up getting the magnaflow exhaust and tips? I'm looking into adding these to 3.9 and I'd like to know what it's like.

Monte3831 (Chris) bought a pair of Magnaflow mufflers & tips from Summit Racing on eBay.

I found this video of a 3.9L Impala with Flowmaster Super 44s on it that I think sounds pretty good: YouTube - ‪2006 Impala 3.9 3LT w/ Flowmaster Super 44's‬‏
What do you all think about Flowmasters for my 3.9?

mak330 - Do you have any videos up of your SLP exhaust? I'd like to hear how it sounds.

Yeah, but that's the hardest part of choosing an exhaust system -- finding out what it sounds like before you buy it. I've been looking on YouTube for videos of exhausts for Monte V6's, especially the 3.9, but there's not much up there. The 7th gen Montes in my area all seem to be stock with no mods made to them. I haven't seen any V6 Montes at any car shows locally either.

So nobody has any opinions about the Flowmaster exhaust I posted a link to, or Flowmaster in general for my 3.9?

myfirstbowtie those actually sound really nice in the 3.9, it's definitely worth looking into.

monte 3831, what model numbers did you get for the mufflers and exhaust tips? And about how much did you pay for them?

Cant say for the V6..BUT! I have the SLP Loudmouth for my 06 SS..And in my opinion it had the same deep rumble as the Magnaflows, just a bit louder...It also costs about 2-300 dollars less depending where you buy it from.

A word on Flowmasters...Alot of people praise them, but in pretty much every application, Magnaflow always sounds better..Just my opinion!

Im purchasing the magnaflow dual exhaust for my monte, i have a 2006 3.5 and i would be going from a single to a dual exhast. My problem is im not too sure what i need to make sure that the drivers side muffler would mount properly see as there are no mounts or hangers on that side since i have a single exhaust.
