exhaust question

[PiercedJD]

does anyone here have an exhaust that doesn't sound like someone raping a wookie?

I am almost afraid to touch my exhaust because the exhaust that I have heard give new meaning to raspy as hell.

lol, study and listen to sound clips and read peoples opinions when they get systems. if you do it right, it can turn out pretty good. just to remind all, you will never sound like a v8. ifs thats your goal. dont touch your exhaust cause it would be a waiste of a disapointment

my borla muffler with no cat sounds pretty nice i would recomend that to anyone and it's not too loud just nice and mellow

I would suggest the american thunder cat back made for the v6. It comes with a resonater witch helps with the ricey sound. I think alot of people dont like their exhaust because they get V8 exhaust and dont put a resonator so it pops and sounds bad.good luck.

main goal is to gain a little performance. I have no desire to make it crazy loud. quiet is fine with me if I can get a little more flow. I have the Y87 package with the factory duals. just figured there might be a little gain to be had over the factory setup. maybe if I add a bullet style muffler in place of the catalytic converter?

if it sounds like some of the exhausts I have heard I will probably weld 6 mufflers in line to shut it up.

putting in a bullet will make the rasp almost go completely away. i have heard that resonators can possibly add rasp

Would someone please define "rasp". I hear that word used here all the time but I don't think anyone knows what it means. I have no idea if my exhaust is raspy since I don't know what it means.

I will tell you that my exhaust sounds about 1000 times better than any 4 cyl with a fart can.

V8's are not the only cars that have exhaust systems that sound good. It is all relative.

I can just hear Viper owners now, "Man, that V8 just doesn't have enough displacement, sounds raspy as hell!"

It's not what you do to your exhaust to sound like a v8. It's what you do to your motor while you have exhaust. :D

Not matter what you will get a little rasp, that is because we have a v6, and yes v8's have a bit of rasp to.
It wont matter what exhaust you run, it will depend on the supporting mods that you have with it that will determin the amount of rasp that you will get.
And as for waht exahust, go with the american thunder and a high flow-cat. It will behave a nice mellow muscle tone.
