Don’t buy a flowmaster exhaust, they are hollow and designed for a v8,
if put on your car it will sound like a rattle can.

go with a magna flow or a greddy those sound real nice

I think somebody had a 50 series Flowmaster and liked the sound. My co-worker has a 40 series (the loudest) on Pontiac Grand Am (V6). It sounds nice and deep, but little too loud for my taste

A lot of people also like the powertech PT1011 (i think)... but say there is some drone at 2500 to 3000 rpm. BTW, are you looking for looks or for sound? If looks, some people just wield on Magnaflow tips.

Flowmaster makes exhausts for V6's also. Go to their website.

Well, I was one of (not the) first to put a flowmaster on my car. I have the flowmaster 50 series offset in, single out muffler on my 2k1. I lvoe the sound. With a stock exhaust it added just the perfect note and hardly droned at all. It complimented my aftermarket intake beautifully. I've since added a Y-pipe and its just made the lovely sound a little bit louder. My car has a very nice somewhat subtle rumble now. I love it!

I have a magnaflow with tips for sale if you are intrested. I put it on, and my wife, pregnant at the time did not like the sound, too loud for her. So I am back to stock for now. The tips are dual, squared off, and the muffler has hangers already installed. you just need to have a shop make you up a short pipe from the muffler to the flange. PM me for pics. I may wind up putting it up on Ebay too.

i have the powertech pt1011 and an intake and a y-pipe. it sounds very good. i also am going to get a b-pipe. there is a little droning but it is easy to deal with if you have a standard tranny. also it doesnt really drone at all above 70 a little around 65 but nothing like greddy.
