The Rumbler is my favorite exhaust I have ever heard on the v8 and v6 on our cars. I am going with Flowmaster because it is only going to take $280 out of my pocket. Everything else is $400+. I could go the cheapest route and buy a Dynomax Super Turbo Muffler (sounds great), but I want the full cat-back. 3.4's do sound better than 3.8's. I am going to get rasp no matter what. So sorry to you Savage Messiah, I cant afford the $400+ Magnaflow.

Exhaust Guys? Send me the link... The Flowmaster is Aluminized, good for the amount of time I am keeping the car. Both Flowmaster and Magnaflow is 2.5" for the v6.

That's a really decent price for a Magnaflow setup.
Please tell me you didn't use the Magnaflow dual 3.5" ricer tailpipes!

IMHO, those tips are disgusting, as in the most ugliest ****ing aftermarket tips that have graced an Fbody. No offense to you guys with the 3.5" , but chrome 2.5"s will look 2x as better, but thats just me.

i partially agree with noah, they look alright on camaros but look ****** on firebirds no matter what way you put it. once i get my magnaflow im gonna have the shop cut/take the tips off and weld on some chrome dual twins  then ill be in business. IMO those 3.5" tips look about as good as the tips on my stock exhaust (the rectangular ****s), like kasey said he doesnt really care what his tips looks like and he has better things to spend his money on, me on the other hand, i think tips either make or break the car, i wouldnt mind spending around $150 for the perfect tips. right now i think my car looks great (aside from minor things that you dont notice from far away) my cars all bright red and the chrome is shiny then i look at my exhaust and im like D'OH! they look nasty and dont add to the car at all. im debating on what size to get for my magnaflow. what would sound better on my 6 banger 2.5 or 3?

obnoxious, loud, same thing.... and yes it is especially when everything in the freakin car rattles! for example the damn change in the cup holder which continuessly rattles!  this is for everyone that thinks kaseys exhaust is obnoxious would cuttin it down to a 2.5" instead of 3" make it sound better/less annoying?

not really. all that the tubing diameter really changes is the spm at which it resonates and it will effect the pitch a little.
if you are worried about your V6 sounding liek crap i will save you a bunch of money and time right now, it is a V6, it will sound like ass, to avoid this find the most silencing muffler in history and put two of them on the car.
on the other hand if you actually want an exhaust system that will support some performance gain you may as well go 3inch. the engine already processes enough air to take advantage of it and it will only improve as you add other mods.

Yeah, pretty much any aftermarket exhaust you put on there will sound like cat ****. but using smaller tail pipes might help out a little....might.

ehh i already told my dad to get me the 3" (for christmas that is) so since im gonna be doing other **** to it then yea ill just stick with the 3 inch. this question has been on my mind, if you remove something that requires one of the "ready flags" (for example the cat) what will happen when it gets inspected? is that what bill does (or can do) in addition to deleting the code so it wont through a SES? cuz i was thinkin about getting a cut out but i already have the bullet muffler here, its just the option of which one do i want to use? also i remember a few of you guys (mainly alex) saying a cutout would sound liek complete ass. i like the sound of matts GP, is that what mine would sound like with one or nah?

speaking from driving aroudn open y-pipe for a day... it's fun and obnoxiously loud, but above say 2k rpms sounds liek AAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, and you get tired of it reeeal quick.
I will put it this way... even tho theres a cat bolted up for inspections, I have had it tuned out and deleted... they plugged in and scanned, all the readiness tests passed and my emissions passed.

you shouldve heard my car with open manifolds, lol
it sounded like an old school rat rod at WOT, and sounded cammed at idle...
and i dunno about 3.4's sounding better than 3.8's...the 3.4's kinda have a tinny hollow exhaust sound.
