just get on of these and get you a speaker in your grill like the dunks do. It will sound way better than a 3.8 with exhaust.

aftermarket muffler on the v6 will sound good at idle but once you give it a little gas the beehive sound starts. I would just leave it alone you already have 05 gt mufflers on there.

I agree here, and please god dont take the cats out if you do any kind of performance muffler. Ask Greg how his car sounded with the Mac mufflers and I want to say it had a Mac Prochamber...sounded like straight ass. My friend has 40s with no cats and it sounds ok at low rpms and idle, but geeezus christmas it sounds like poop under high rpms, or hard acceleration

Leave it alone. Add two more cylinders then worry about how your exhaust sounds/performs.

Piece of pipe turned down towards the ground underneath a car usually off a muffler.

IMO, leave it alone. You will wish you didn't change them out on your car. The firing order will make it sound like ass.

What I would do to your car is
Lower it
Wheels
Tint
stereo
CAI
Pullies
4.10's
75 shot nitrous and leave it alone.

Than later maybe do another OEM stock hood (gt, cobra, etc) and front bumper. But other than that NOTHING. As to make LOTS Of power you will have some money in it big time.

Unless of course you find some guys who can know turbos and you can have a DIY turbo kit at an affordable rate and tune it. But on a reality note, drop, wheels , stereo and tint and pick up the girlies and keep it reliable until you progress in life than go from there. But right now, just make it look clean and cruise it. Without GT or cobra badges of course.

Leave the exhaust stock. No matter what you do, it's going to sound like crap.
