cat-back on a 3.4

thats something ya dont hear every day...not sure if there is an anwser to that...wonder what a flowmaster 1 chamber and a dump would sound like.

i heard somethin about a flowmaster with a resonating chamber made especially for 6's to make them sound deep like a 8

the quietest muffler you can find will work nicely, or if you want to hear it get about 5 resonators put on and hope that is enough to kill the raspyness. they are really not nice sounding motors at all.

flowmaster is probably the best for a 3.4....you want it quiet though. also, get headers and a hi-flow cat to move the riceyness further up in the RPM range.

Even though James has a 3.8 with that Loud Mouth, in a tunnel, WOT,
I thought my head was going to explode.

GrandmasterCow 10-01-2004 11:23 AM

hey, it's a v6. theres only so much you can do to make it sound like a v8 but it'll always get raspy up high rpms :-\

Pat 10-01-2004 01:32 PM

usually when people swap motors they go for something bigger

k-mart sells great 3.4 exhaust, i think its in the car section next to the type r emblems and blinking shift knobs. :hammer:

welcome to the club.

just a small suggestion....use some punctuation next time.

EVIL90SS 10-12-2004 05:29 PM

nope....a 6 will never sound like an 8...sorry bud....try again...2 more cylinders make a **** load of difference.

:stupid: ive owned plenty of v6 cars in my life and it doenst matter what you do to the exhaust system it will never sound like an 8.

FBODS4EVER 10-12-2004 06:20 PM

thats your opinion. and i have mine. i agree with the high revs getting a little ricey. but when you open up the air into the engine it changes the sound some more. the more mods the better the sound. im not sayin exactly like an eight but sure doesnt sound weak. im saying that my car sounds better than my brother in laws 91 t/a he agrees as well. i have a nice low deep rumble. all the guy asked for was an opinion on a muffler and now its a debate. youll just have to see my car for yourself. just my 2 cents.

earl :twisted:

kamikaz 10-12-2004 07:02 PM

Well i guess that it depends on the sound your looking for..i'm sure if your looking for the tough sound get Flowmaster,but if you want something that gives alittle less tough but still alittle tude get a borla..as for the V6 i became a fan after watching the 12secV6 car from the list at the SLP day this weekend..That Car Was BADASS with it's almost 11 sec pass..and i agree V6 or V8 if it's an F-Bod,it's all good to me :D
