Panopticon Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Hmm i sure it will sound nice and low. I ran a glass packed without a cat on the L27 for a while and it was sooo nice and low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Are you looking for an good aggressive tone?? Cuz, three chambers are going to be really quiet. Maybe I just like loud exhaust, but I would go with straight-through or single chambers Robby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergeantbiggs Posted July 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 i'm going with 3 chamber because i don't want a really agressive sound i had that on my old car and i really want a low rumble that you can hear, anything but the little sound the stock muffler makes. BIGGS My buddy has 3 chamber flowmasters on his v-8 thunderbird and it sounds really good thats what i'm after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox340 Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 My buddy has 3 chamber flowmasters on his v-8 thunderbird and it sounds really good thats what i'm after But, it's also a V8 powerplant. You'll definitely increase (slightly) the db sound level and hear a tone difference. You may want to check with the Gen II W-Body forums on what they've installed on their vehicles. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfewtrail Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 http://www.unclesamsforms.com/rich/exhaustsounds.html there are tons of sound files of GP's there w/ the same motor, although most are probably going to be the GTP's w/ the supercharged 3.8 although I doubt there would be much of a difference in sound between the two? I've only heard different exhaust on GTP's and never on local GT's and such w/ the L36 so I couldn't tell ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonyman87 Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 well from cars i have heard with flowmasters. including mine. it sounds really awesome all the way up the rpm range. if you have stock cat and resignator it is not very loud but has a nice rumble expecialy below 2.5krpm i love the sound in my 3.4 and i could only imagine what a larger and lower rpm based engine would sound like. but there are other options to. Magnaflow makes great sounding mufflers to aswell as glasspacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panopticon Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 hee hee like the 3.8? I was getting my old muffler replaced so about a week before i punched holes all in it and it rumbled SO LOW. I can only imagine what a flowmaster would sound like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
