    Hi i just put on 2 flowmaster delta 40s on my 04 gtp. The sound is BARELY louder. Just has a slighly deeper rumble? What gives? I thought the 40 series was suppose to be really loud. Has stock res/header, but that cant make that huge a difference?

    Keep it where it's at. If you do a res delete.... it will sound like poop and you will kick yourself.

    I am just wonderig why people say chambered mufflers sound bad on these cars. From what I see, it barely changed the sound.

    Because your not behind the car hearing it.

    Chambered mufflers sound like ass anyway you slice it.

    I have been behind it and heard it take off. It is not much louder. Sounds almost the same just a little deeper but definately NOT loud.

    Want loud? Just delete the mufflers all together. Free.

    ANY...and I mean ANY 3800 with a resonator delete...that isn't snail'd...sounds poopy. I'd bet money on it you couldn't find one resonator less FWD 3800 car that doesn't rasp.
