Dynomax on a 3.8

[Nick1234]

has anyone heard a dynomax cat-back exhaust on a 3.8? is it pretty loud?

[slick]

Yes. And still sounds like total hell.

At least for second-gen W's: Other than the u-bend and the resonator, the stock exhaust is good enough for most applications.

 

Anything else will sound like shit.

the exhaust is starting to get real shitty on the impala. hole in resonator, hole in muffler. I don't want this car to be loud at all though

 

option 1. replacement from parts store. Aprrox $200.... will have to replace in 3 years

option 2. GMPP dual outlet exhuast. Stainless steel, comes with tips, and from what i hear, not too loud at all...$500 + shipping and could still be too loud

option 3. replacement exhaust from GMPD for 01 MC SS for $430..... plus shipping. still a lot. might as well get performance

 

 

1 i don't want to spend this much, and 2 god damn it.

I'd go with the GMPD stuff. If it is too loud, add a resonator/glasspack to quiet it down some. Should get rid of most of the raspiness as well.

the monte carlo exhaust or the this http://gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm?singlepart=1&partnumber=12498617 for like $70 more.

you could just go to a j/y and get an exhaust. cheap and effective, guaranteed to fit.

 

BTW my downpipe made my exhaust sound perfect IMO.

umm, i actually have a 2.5" exaust back a Y which steps down to a 2 1/4 with two Dynomax Super Turbo's .. sounds pretty decent to me. jeremy, jdcutty, and a few others at MIstreetscene's Kensington meet last year thought it sounded either alright or "cool" ...
