What is THE best exhaust for a 3.8 ? im thinking about Pacesetter headers and borla, is there anything that would be any better? i want [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] proformance out of it.

performance. if you just want performance? don't go with borla. its to expensive for the bang for the buck. you can get a loudmouth with is like 250$ and is 3"'s. or you can go with the 3" american thunder catback by flowmaster. thats like 300$ or so. the loudmouth won't sound good. the flowmaster will sound decent. i've heard it with headers and no cat and it was amazing. ear candy.

can't go wrong with borla if you have the money.

Borla is a very good exhaust with polished tips and is stainless steal with a life time warranty, but is really overpriced . I have borla on my 3.4L with headers and love it. There are other really good exhaust out there .If borla is what you want, I say great choice ! Borla as far as quality goes is the best exhaust, it last forever.

yup headers, no cat, at least 2.75" piping and flows, imo is the best...

Not another one. This is gonna be a long thread... :(

I like the loudmouth. I've heard a couple in person and it's bad *** . Borla's nice if you're a heart surgeon.

kid at school has a flowmaster catback on his 97 3.8 and it sounds like this little guy-- [img]graemlins/toto.gif[/img] going poo poo.

ok this is what ur looking at, u said u wanted borla with pacesetters? i think thats a pretty good combination. itll run u no less than 1000 dollars to buy and install tho. If u want the best sounding setup do this. get the RKsport headers a 2.5" pipe and a flowmaster muffler. I have the headers and an 80 series flowmaster system. damn thin sounds like a v8 under 2000 rpm. like i said before ur setup is gonna be pretty good. the only thing is that if u plan on getting a supercharger or turbocharger down the road, u should probably get the RKsport headers instead of the pacesetters, otherwise u should be money

i heard that the flowmasters sounded like a rice at high rpm. what kind of gains should i get with headers and borla?

[FuryCharger]

assuming u have an intake......the headers should probably net u between 3-6 hp, and the exhaust between 4-7 hp, and if u wanna take the cat off thats another 1-2 hp (illegal!!!!!!) its definitley something u need to get done.....ull fall in love with the sound. and for me, no the flowmaster doesnt get to ricey at all, u cant even notice it until ur at like 4000, but think about it, when are u ever going 4000? 90% of the time ur cruising under 2500, just when it sounds like ur V8!
