    Sound is all personal preference.

    That being said, I have never heard a 3800 car sound good. From no exhaust to some exhaust to full custom on youtube with the woofer turned up, it just doesn't sound good to me.

    I would recommend a big/long (no that's what she said jokes) resonator, and the factory mufflers. Go ninja stealth mode, fully quiet. Focus on engine mods and make that supercharger scream and let it do all the talking. I have headers and factory catback... some rasp but mostly quiet, the blower screams and people give a look.

    Well, i couldn't be more happier with the nice rumble from my exhaust, really sounds badass. These are the cars I owned in the past and it sounds better than all of them except my 70 442 conv with headers n cherry bombs no mufflers, 86/87 grand national converter deleted, 1987 corvette brand brand new, 77 t/A 6.6, 68 delta 88 custom 2 dr 455.

    if you like how your car sounds, that great, its your car. but i think you forgot how good the other cars sounded.

    ive had cars from the 70's as well, they all sounded way better then any W body ive heard on youtube, or in person. this is why i like my car nice and quiet, cops dont give me a second look with it being quiet. if the cop can hear you before he see's you, now your on his radar.

    only vids ive heard that i will say i liked to any degree is the few guys who have done full 3 inch exhaust set ups. truly sounds better then any other set up ive heard on a W body.

    But; like said.

    Glasspack for resonator.

    I actually loved the fact the stock one is even quieter than a Glasspack...then...choice of mufflers/tips...because stock mufflers sound like ass.
