Sup fellas and lady fellas,
New to these forums but i thought they would be useful for modding/enhancing my 03 v6

so far i havent done much besides the sound system and headlight/ interior neons new deck..

soon im getting dual magnaflows... cold air intake under glow rims ect...

but i figured this is the best place to get some help and possibly throw out a few tips from my experience with cars

welcome to the MM, got any pics of that car of yours?

Kmuk · June 9th, 2008, 06:27 PM

i will have some up in a bit i can show pics of the accident that it has got in atm but thats it so far

Welcome to MM...Just a tip I would reconsider the magnaflows. The sound good on GTs but they're not good on the V6. I would go with flowmasters or Mac. If that's not your thing some people really love the pypes violator (I'm not one of them). But anyway welcome once again to the forum.

Welcome to MM! i like the straightpipe sound myself....

Kmuk · June 9th, 2008, 06:52 PM

Well then haha thats good for me Flowmasters are much cheaper save about a 100 or so

i was thinking these, well i was recemended these

someone said they will sound diffrent and add a small kick in hp

101fng · June 9th, 2008, 07:13 PM

8-13rwhp?... i wouldn't expect that much of a kick in HP. have you thought about going true dual? that's probably the best decision i've made thus far... well, until i get my s/c that is. you won't get much HP out of it, but it gives your engine much more room to breathe when you start making more aggressive mods.

Kmuk · June 9th, 2008, 07:17 PM

no havent thought that yea i know 8-13 is very unrealistic

DON'T GET THAT!!!!!! That is not a true dual system. There are tons of exhaust options. If I were you I'd get an h-pipe or h-pipe adapter kit. then get a true dual catback system from Flowmaster or Mac. If you want you could get Long tube headers with a shorty h-pipe and the catback of your choice. You won't regret true duals they are better in every way than that system in the link.

Actually with a true dual setup AND a tuner you could easily see that at the crank.

you could do what i did. just have a muffler shop fab you up some mid pipes, and then run em back to the mufflers of you choice. IMO, it's way cheaper (i actually had it done for free, so don't quote me on it being cheaper) and it only took about an hour. it'll sound just as good as most X and H pipes.

Or like MWWarlord said, longtubes and shorty H. always a good choice, just depends on how much you want to spend.

Kmuk · June 9th, 2008, 07:30 PM

alright im just having trouble finding flowmasters for a 3.8L i can find them for a 4.1L

i found these is this roughly how much flowmasters cost

101fng · June 9th, 2008, 07:32 PM

flowmaster 40s is what you want... well, thats what most choose, and they sound damn good.

Kmuk · June 9th, 2008, 07:45 PM

alright but im more looking to buy it all in a set cause im not to good with the exaust systems as you can tell so it would be pretty hard for me to pick em out piece by piece

obdnanr · June 9th, 2008, 07:50 PM

this is going to get moved by the zealot v6 mod, hes new. so stop posting

101fng · June 9th, 2008, 07:52 PM

oooh, uh, ya. you won't really find it in a set i don't think. if your looking for a psuedo-dual system, theres probably a set out there, but it isn't worth it. i'm telling you, go true dual. just get a muffler shop to do it, its really not that expensive. unless the guys a total homo, at which point you go to another muffler shop where the dude isn't a total homo and won't try to rip you off. as long as you sound like you know what you're talking about, chances are, he won't rip you a new asshole too hard. but, i'm not too sure on prices... anybody got anything price wise for a true dual setup?
