Thread: Dual exhaust on n/a 3.8

So I got my dual exhaust put on today. I went with the removal of the res and Magnaflow mufflers and 1331 Vibrant tips. Looks really good, but I have to admit it sounds kind of ricey . What now? The guy says give it a few weeks to break in and it will sound better, but I dont see that happening. What should I do? Will adding a glasspack take away the riceness and give it more of a deep rumble? I want that deep rumble I hear on so many other V6 GP's without having to add headers and a downpipe. Anyway any help would be awesome, thanks.

I havent done anything with the intake yet, thats next. You think that will take away the riceish sound?

I thought people only left that on if they didnt want the drone. I dont have much drone, in fact sounds good in the car but outside when given some good gas sounds like someone blowing their nose into a coffee can LOL.

Damn I hope they will still have it come Monday, as they are closed until then. If they dont I guess I will add either the Magnaflow res or a glasspack

So I guess this is where the intake comes into play as suggested above?

LOL okay okay I'll be ordering the intake later tonight, I'm also thinking of adding the Magnaflow res or a Thrush glasspack, any thoughts?

Alright the muffler shop is like an hour away so ill just go local this round and have then add a thrush glasspack if they have one if not whatever the longest one they have then.

You sort-of deserve the ricey sound, because you should have replaced the manifolds with headers instead of putting money into the mufflers first. Haha, just had to bug ya a bit....
