Thread: 03 GT tuned exhaust question

Ok guys. Heres the question. How do I get a great TUNED exhaust sound? I DO NOT want a loud cackling v-6 when I let off the Fun pedal. I've been searching through videos and such and have found nothing. Help me out here. I plan on getting the system on a budget, so piece by piece. I know Corsa has a really nice system out, but I have yet to find a good video with great quality sound to it.

The best 3800 exhaust system is stock mufflers with a glasspack in place of the resonator.

FWIW Thrush mufflers drone a lot and crackle bad when you let off the gas.

@matt. Problem is....there arent really any GP GT's around me that have anything done to them, unless you include the riced out ones with straight pipes....lol


The reason behind me wanting to do this is that my exhaust is starting to rust through, and the amount of salt/sand they use in the winter here is ridiculous. So I'm starting to look now.

Im from Lawrenceburg, IN. There's about 2 or 3 guys that go to the local drag strip but we are all stock. Kinda sucks. And those are the 2 I'm leaning towards, just want to hear them live.

If salt and sand are an issue, and its your daily, I wouldn't pay for a nice exhaust system.

OR...pay for a quality stainless system.

Stainless isnt a bad idea. What headers and mufflers though?

I have had my borla for years and it does sound great.

Any pics or vids??

SSAC headers Turbo Kits, Turbo Manifolds, Import Performance Products, SSAutochrome Inc., If your wanting a bolt on system i'd do borla but any exhaust shop can hook you up with a decent system. Just put a 30" glasspack here the Res should be or reuse your resonator.

Thanks guys, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do. Maybe I can get it to sound like a Ferrari

LMFAO! STOP NOW PLEASE!!!!!1!!!a!!!!

In my dreams huh lol

SSAC Stainless Headers + Borla T304 Catback = Over a grand when your all said and done.

I'd have 3 mild steel catbacks built before shelling out coin for a stainless catback...but I'm just a bum and don't give two sh1ts about spending THAT much money on a Grand Prix.

Carry on

Make it fast and run open headers, problem solved.
