Question 97' 3.8L v6 camaro exhaust

I just purchased a 1997 3.8L v6 camaro and i was looking to purchase a cat-cack exhaust system for it. Does anyone have any opinions on what the best exhaust system is for the best sound, performance, and price?

I personally like Stainless Steel with a warrantee, but that's just me

Hey, I don't think performance between magnaflow and flowmaster differs that much. Just the sound... maybe you should hear some of these badboys??

Yo, I hate to say it, but there are certain times you don't look for a bargin... one is surgury, another is performance parts, he is absolutely right, "You get what you pay for".

Re: 97' 3.8L v6 camaro exhaust

yea I think I am going to go with the magnaflow What I really want is the B&B Tri-Flow but thats almost twice as much as the magnaflow. It looks like a good system and ive heard good things about it...just wish i could hear it first...

Re: 97' 3.8L v6 camaro exhaust

ive got the magnaflow cat-back on my 3.4 and it is nice. its not as pricey as the borla or some of the others, but it sounds sweet. another one you could look into is the SLP loudmouth. they both sound really good and arent too horribly expensive. bottom im extremely happy with my exhaust...
