    The 3800 sounds like sh*t. Get used to it or buy a V8.

    you want a throaty sound from a V6? lol wont happen!! i had an SLP cat back still sounded bad, so i added 40 series flows pffft i got more rumble but it sounded the same. it just wont happen with a V6.... try cherry bombs, but that will give you a pop or sputter

    only good sounds come from V8's get a GXP bonneville or grand prix




    good luck

    Change the mufflers will change the tone, but what ever you do, keep the resonator in there regardless!

    I have 3 chamber Flowmasters, and I think it sounds pretty good. Got louder, and more "tingy" after I knocked out the cat's guts.

    Listen to a couple Magnaflow XLs. They're large mufflers and two of them can do the job of the resonator too. I have no res, no drone, and a pretty mellow tone even under WOT.

    if you can find raven exhaust it sounds great and to the contrary it will have a deep throaty sound ,,, my gtp sounds like a small v8 when you hit the remote start and it cranks up,,, so yes there is a deeper exhaust and it does not pop or crack at all,,, took me several weeks to find this exhaust but i purchased it at my local midas dealer and i changed the exhaust tips as well
