    hello all
    i have a 2007 grand prix base model with one exhaust outlet, and i am thinking about making it a dual exhaust. i was just wandering what muffler would sound good with a 3800 series 3 transverse motor?

    thanks
    Zach

    none

    But seriously these engines sound like **** no matter what you do. Most find good results with just cheap thrush turbo mufflers

    Also dont remove your resinator, you will regret it.

    Thrush muff seem to make it sound alright and are rather inexpensive.

    Yea but our motors tend to sound like crap but I like Borlas.

    Just buy another stock muffler, walker exhaust makes them for our cars.

    Have an exhaust shop Y off the exhaust and that pretty much it.

    30in glasspack, cheap and simple.

    A glasspack is better quality resonator than the stock one, its what 90% of us use for one.

    what ffdp said except walker also makes the y for our cars that you can clamp right to the end of the glasspack you buy, then you can throw w/e mufflers you want on the rear. Like i said i suggest thrush cus they are cheap or stock.
