Ok.....read these words CAREFULLY! I had straight pipes on my 3.8 just a few weeks ago. It sounded like complete A$$! The idle sounds mean as hell. Almost like a NASCAR stock car. HOWEVER, if you give it ANY gas at all, it gets so loud that traffic almost screeches to a halt. It is annoying it's so loud. TriFlo99 from this board has heard it and agrees. Right now I have no cat and a 3" 40 series which is a WHOLE lot louder than the 80 series, but it dosen't even come close to straight pipes. Don't make the same mistake I made. Straight pipes are EXTREMELY loud, you loose bottom end, it smells bad, and it draws WAAAY too much attention to you. Whatever you choose, GOOD LUCK!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Would 3" pipe going into 2 40 series sounds deeper than the 80?AndrewComment

That's what the stangs run sometimes (2 40 series). They sound sweet, not sure about their 3.8.
Maybe I misunderstood but 3" I think would be too big for true duals...1998 3.8 Camaro A4, <br />B&B Triflow CatBack,Whisper Lid, <br />1987 s10 Blazer 350 V8 shift kit,Comment

I ran staight pipes and at idle and under 2k rpms it sounded mean as hell, but once you start accelerating, people will know what you did(inclduing cops) and after a while it does get annoying.Plus you lose low end power.I'm not even going to mention the horrible smell that gives you ****in headaches like crazy.Comment

Oh come on, I had true duals for a while and the smell wasn't thatbad. I think I got a headache more from the sound than anything. Sure does sound good though. :D<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/byoonull\" target=\"_blank\">My Old Car - 2000 Silver V6 Bird</a><br /><br />The replacement-<br />94 Firebird Formula - 383, TH400, and a big blower<br /> <a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/fastblackcar94\" target=\"_blank\">http://community.webshots.com/user/fastblackcar94</a>Comment
