Being 17 would explain why you have flowmasters as a option. Quick answer is to avoid them on our cars they are too loud and very raspy...most will love then the first week and then beat themselves for not listening to others who recommend against them. I know you said you can care less since you'll have a stereo down the road. It's still loud even after you insulate it and I'm sure your neighbors and fellow boys in blue will have something to potential say about it. Don't risk it. It's a v6 don't try to trick people into think its not. Go with Borlas instead and keep the stock resonator you'll thank me later.
