    Looking for more HP: Headers, intake and not for power so much but exhaust depending on what you do makes it more fun to drive.

    If you want this car for a while I would suggest doing more visual than under the hood. Do tints, rims, exhaust...

    You are going to get a lot of opinions on exhaust but heres mine: Do a u bend delete dont touch the res - gets raspy if you take the res out. Replace the stock mufflers with something else. Flowmasters are cheap - loud/nice tone...looking to spend more get magnaflows/borla mufflers. It also depends on how loud you want it. I took just my muffler off my 3800 and is fairly nice for that cheap.

    Thats correct no mufflers everything else stock...but it still is loud but wont get you in trouble. Sounds like you dont like it that loud, but dont do glasspacks...you will blow the packing sh*t they have inside out and then it is basically a muffler removal. Just do a U bend delete with borla mufflers. Borla are by far the quietest mufflers that sound great.

    I did flowmaster mufflers on a gt and it sounds great...just my opinion. they are not very loud at all and i had them installed at a exhaust shop and the shop owner said he had been working on exhaust and mine was one of the best sounding v6's he has ever worked on.

    cant get much better for 120 bucks
