vrooom vroOOm VROOOM
I've been thinking about changing the exhaust system in my 2002 v6 firebird w68 but I'm not sure what I should be looking at. Do you guys have any recommendations on where I should start looking??

Re: vrooom vroOOm VROOOM
Do you want loud or quiet? More for sound or performance?
I've heard of some people putting SLP's Loudmouth exhaust on v6's and magnaflow makes a v6 catback. And of course, flowmaster has applications for everything, even lawnmowers. Most people hate flowmaster for the flow, but they do produce a good sound. Just search the net, you'll find everything you're looking for.

i agree. that v6 will never sound like a v8 but it will still sound good.

Re: vrooom vroOOm VROOOM
If you want super friggin loud go TSP rumbler. Good price/performance/tone/not overly loud and quiet when you want, go magnaflow. Please for the love of god don't get the 2.5" system... get the 3" single cat LT1 style. Magnaflow part number is 15620, I believe. Magnaflow comes with the s-pipe, others you have to get one cutom made or by the slp "installation kit", which is a ripoff procie just like anything SLP. I'm a magnaflow fan, can you tell? lol... if you want sound clips, check out www.fullthrottlev6.com
