    Re: What mods?

    That hptuners website confused the hell outta me... And I'm getting a cat-back Flowmaster exhaust this weekend. Need some headers and then to get a shop to pipe from Y-pipe to cat-back... Have I got the gist of it?

      Yeah, that's about it. I'd go with something different than Flowmasters. For a better sound of course.

        Flowmasters sound bad eh? What's good? I heard Borla can do pretty good things for 3.8's...

            Damn. Where do you get those? And how much?

            EDIT: I'd be getting Magnaflows, not Flowmaster. I was remembering wrong.

              do a thread search on Trans-X and watch the magic unfold...you're in for a treat haha. we'll know when you've read up on it.

              get a stainless magnaflow system or borla if you have the coin, but please, please, upgrade from flowmaster...it will only sound good on an lsx engine, not the 3.8. i used to run one before i was enlightened to the world of borla ;)

                    +1, yea a flowmaster on in a stock exhaust isn't very good, but 3" full exhaust, headers and some motor work really change the sound :).

                      I had to change from flowmaster since it got so much louder with headers and 2.75" exhaust.

                      Sounded good but droned a bit on the highway so back to a stock replacement muffler, I went.

                      I've not really heard many good borla vids to really say if there good.. But I hear there the best along with magnaflow.

                        just for reference, I have magnaflow on both my 99 v6 and my 2000 ss. On the SS I have the high end mangaflow and on the v6 I have the cheaper version. Here is a vid of low revving of my v6 with magnaflow catback. No headers or anything.

                          I couldn't find anything specifically related to Trans X... And Won't a cat-delete make it deeper/louder as well?

                            The kid asks a somewhat serious question, and we go on and on about this Trans-X **** again. Come the **** on....isn't that getting old yet? Talk about beating a dead horse....

                                I would just go with a Summit 3" pipes for like $150 shipped and then a Dynomax turbo muffler for $35-$45. Headers RK Sport headers used for like $200 or so, have bigger primaries 1.75" of all the headers out there and flow great. Springs , go with some DNA 1.6" lowering springs on ebay for $90 shipped, shocks might as well go for KYB ADJ. front rear for $340 or so on ebay or check around.
