I have a 3.0 and i wanted to know what exhaust/muffler sounded the best. not a fan of the import ricer sound, looking for a sorta deep mellow sound, i'll take any suggestions thanks

NWOR tri-Y headers, Exhaust Depot high-flow cat, custom 2 1/4" cat-back system (single) with Raven muffler from Midas. very low growl, but screams at 4K RPM and up. I'll have to get some audio posted like 89mac.....

I'm pretty fond of the sound of my Borla cat-back system.

IMO Magnaflow mufflers are the best you can buy. They are relatively cheap, and have the best design for performance, that being a straight through design with perforated inner walls and sound deadening material around the perforation. They arent too loud, and offer the greatest flow.

I just want to thank Corey's site - love the sounds. Great, now I have to spend more money - right after my new timing belt, pully and H2O pump.

I put a carsound free flow cat, 2.25" cat back with a dynomax 'turbo' muffler. Has a nice drone to it at 2000 rpm, and kinda makes the 3.0 sound mean...lol

Not quite as mean as my buddy's LS1 with true dual turn downs right after the cats! lol
