  • what's the best exhaust for a 3.8?

    i need some opinions. what is the best cat back for a 2000 3.8? i want a system that makes a better sound but isn't too obnoxious. if anyone has sound clips that would be great.

    Performance wise theyre all very comparable - I seriously think you'll gain the same hp regardless of what you choose so long its 100% 3" cat to muffler. The twin pipes out the back don't matter a whole lot [img]smile.gif[/img] 2.25 or 2.5 is fine there.

    Soundwise they all sound different but similar. Many board members like the flowmaster system, the hooker system, and the edelbrock system. You can install a LS1 system like a GMMG so long you buy the SLP S pipe (LT1 Install Adaptor) for $70 or have an S pipe made [img]smile.gif[/img]

        if that's the case, go Dynomax.

        As for the best muffler, that's highly opinionated.
