Is it a V8? No, it's a 3800.

**MrDniceL36** · 10-16-2014

After doing my cat back exhaust (stock cat dp) I've had my friends start my car and gasp when it turns over. My buds are good eg tuners and he was shocked for me to tell him its a v6. " all the v6s I hear are higher pitched" he said. It's mostly because of design (ohc/ block degree/exhaust manifold/ UN equal length header type/single port etcs.)
All Ive done is a Magnaflow glasspack in place of the resonator and 2 magnaflow street DTM's out back in place of the 2 old mufflers. The magnaflows did this?

Sure?

It's louder.

Still sounds like a 3800.

**Bluemagic** · 10-16-2014

Depends on what your ears decipher as sounding good. In my experience grand prix's sound like crap. Unless turbo or cammed.

20 bucks it sounds like ass... its a 3800... cant get away from it.

**16MustangVet** · 10-16-2014

we hide the exhaust noise with turbo or blower noise lol loud exhaust is retarded imo......

Who changed the thread title to something even worse?

**MrDniceL36** · 10-16-2014

If i had a camera that coukd record it I would. My GS5 camera distorts when I tske videos of my exhaust. That's how deep it sounds. Smooth and linear till 5800 or whatever the redline

**blueguy** · 10-16-2014

It's a 3800.

With mufflers.

We know what it sounds like; it's meh at best.

**ADrugDealer** · 10-16-2014

You continue to think it sounds good.... im going to be in my corner laughing...

**MrDniceL36** · 10-16-2014

These 3 magnaflows dont make my car loud? I know a fam member with a 3800 monte and put 2 flowmasters 50s in the back and did a straight pipe in place of the resonator. It sounded like air hitting a tinny can. Lol Same engine and chassis

**blueguy** · 10-16-2014

Because it's a chambered muffler.

The Magnaflow isn't.

Anyway you slice it, the 3800 doesn't have a good exhaust note without a huge cam or a snail.

Keep it quiet, the end.

**ADrugDealer** · 10-16-2014

It sounds like ass...unless you got a snail

**SnowTh1ef** · 10-16-2014

No.. just no. Stop.

**blueguy** · 10-16-2014

Yeah, just get a cam.

And run open downpipe...because it was cool to do.

Two works

Bonneville muffler. Quiet is the only way a 3800 sounds good IMO

**MrDniceL36** · 10-16-2014

I wonder how many ppl have done a triple magnaflow. I get it all the time, (Did you do a ls4 swap, you swap a v8 into that) when im droppin a friend off and i down shift and rev match lol it burbles deep and sounds amazing... even at my tech school, one of myinstructors who teaches a 3.8l 3800 overhaul class told me that my exhaust was the best hes heard from a 3800 S2. idk why you guys are hating so much. Ive heard v6 300c's that sound 10x worse

**SnowTh1ef** · 10-16-2014

Plenty of people have done it. They sound like ass. Its a 3800.

**Sven the Sexman** · 10-16-2014

I liked my GMPP setup, but it still didn't sound that great...

If my gs5 catches my lack of exhaust with a v8 no cat and no mufflers without distortion I doubt that's your issue. Try farther away from the car So you can get a accurate understanding
