exhaust for 2000 V6

I'm thinking about getting new exhaust for my camaro. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm looking for a more powerful sound than what the stock exhaust has.

magnaflow makes a nice cat-back for the 3.8 camaro.

Re: exhaust for 2000 V6

i love magnaflow, got it on my ride. heard dynomax is decent, kindof cheap. the high end stuff is borla and slp loudmouth. im no fan of flowmaster, but i gotta put it up here cause it is an option. my opinion, for the sixers, is magnaflow. course im sure someone will dissagree...

Re: exhaust for 2000 V6

I was planning on going with flowmasters, but I've heard nothing but good things about magnaflow. Any suggestions on what kind of magnaflow?

in my opinion, flowmasters sound wonderful, but not on v6's... i love them on v8's but v6's just don't give me the right tone... go for the magnaflow they're talkin bout

Re: exhaust for 2000 V6

magnaflow... 3 inch. lt1 cantback, since it will have the S-pipe that you'll need. Might want to get a high-flow cat while you're at it

Re: exhaust for 2000 V6

the magnaflow that is made for the sixers is 2.5" tubing with straight through muffler. the LT1 exhaust is 3". i suggest you get the 2.5" exhaust, the 3" is a little much on the sixers.

Re: exhaust for 2000 V6

Thanks for the input. Any idea on how much the 2.5" or the 3" would run me? (including paying someone to install it)

Re: exhaust for 2000 V6

i got my Magnaflow system from www.bigexhaust.com and i had it installed for 50 bucks. I would definately get the 2.5" as opposed to the 3".. you dont really wanna open it up that much, the 2.5 is also cheaper i believe. i think mine was like $350 for the cat-back, but i got mine 2 years ago.

Re: exhaust for 2000 V6

Not many people put on DynoMax, but I like mine on my 3.4 I personally like the sound I get with them.

Re: exhaust for 2000 V6

3" is cheaper, and isn't too much really on a 3.8 My magnaflow LT1 catback cost me 320, i got a magnaflow high-slow cat for like 35 or 40 bucks, and had meinekee weld it all on. they also had to install a bodd for the rear o2 sensor since i forgot to order the cat with one, and had to weld on a few inches extension cuz the cat I got was too short, ran liek 125 for all that. Normal install of a catback there is like 60 bucks.

Re: exhaust for 2000 V6

Do you like how the new GTO sounds?

If so then cut your muffler off and run straight pipes. The catalyic converter will quiet the motor down to the point to where it sounds like an 8 with flowmasters.

Simply get a grinder and cut the pipe going into the muffler. Ride around with it if you don't like it then go ahead and put on the borjla or magnaflow.

It cost you nothing and its not loud enough to get you into trouble. I done it to a 6 and fooled f body owners.

Re: exhaust for 2000 V6

im not gonna dignify that with a response...

i dont think i would put 3" on my sixer, wouldnt want to loose any of that precious low-end torque. howd your car respond to the 3" 97?
