I've been looking at changing the muffler on my car, looking for a deep sound nothing ricer. Under $80 if possible. I have the 3.4L V6. No point in preaching about modding a V6 because changing the muffler is all I plan on doing. At high revs it has a tin can sound due to it being clamped, exhaust leak.
So whats the best muffler? A guy over at Advance Autoparts(bleh) told me the Flowmasters were good. What do you guys think would be best in my price range? They also had the Flowtech Terminator which I know nothing about but it was $67.

Well I'm open to any recommendations, doesn't matter if it was in my thread title. A model name would be awesome to for some specification so I can narrow my search. Thanks for the replies.

Ah, seems to be a mix of opinions on here. If a flowmaster, what kind? And the same with the Magnaflow?
Ahh confused on what to do.

What did you need to get I have a Magnaflow catback and bent a tip called them up minute latter had a price and shipping eta. Obviously its going to be high having to order direct from them but I deal with magnaflow a pretty semi daily basis because of work and they have been more helpful than other vendors I have to call .

My buddy had flowmaster on his TA and it sounded like butt. They sound ok on mustangs but not on F bodys IMO. Try listening to some clips on youtube and streetfire then make a decision.

i had one of my mounts tear into the muffler, i took it to the shop where i had purchased the kit since magnaflow will NOT deal directly to the public. The shop told me to contact magnaflow on the lifetime warranty so i did... magnaflow told me to and talk to the shop about replacement. So it may have been a mix up but what really pissed me off was the fact that magnaflow told me that i had to purchase a new kit, pay for shipping for the new kit sent from cali, and pay for the other kit to be sent back.

at the end of the day it took 2 days talking to magnaflow and my shop (sponsor on here) and magnaflow finally paid for shipping and did not charge me up front for a new kit.

Go Mgnaflw!!!!On the dyno my cutout gained me 1 rwhp over the magnaflow.....I'd say thats pretty good flow.

What kind of Magnaflow? Like a specific type, or should I just go to my local autopart shop and see what Magnaflow's they have that fit my car?
I listened to some clips on youtube and streetfire of my exact car with a flowmaster....and I immediately wanted to go to the China Manor for some rice.
So, magnaflow it is I suppose. And what's all your opinion of Flowtech?

I looked up the Flowtech Terminator on some other V6's and it actually sounds pretty nice, 10x better than the flowmaster. But I really have no idea what to even look for in the magnaflows/

I had a magnaflow catback on my 96 bird and it was ok but wasnt a deep v8 type of sound

However I heard a flowmaster 80 series two chamber(if I remember correctly) and it was on a 3.4 or 3.1 2004 grand am and it sounds awesome for a 6 cylinder. It had a nice deeper tone and backfired a bit and sounded good. So that gets my vote.

I have flowmasters that came on the car when I got it, I don't really recommend. They sound alright but I kinda wish I could just switch it to stock and just have an electric cut out before or just replace the whole catback (cha-ching cha-ching). They sound real loud and thats about it, and get raspy at times.

ive always liked the flowmaster sound i had them on my mustang but they weren worth a crap they lasted oh about three years until all the baffles had rusted out and on of the pipes rusted and actually broke off, plus they dont flow very well unlike their name says

ive had 2 v6 cars, had a flowmaster on one and it sounded ok at idle but soon as you get to bout 3500 compete *** sound, had a gutted cat with a z28 take off muffler and it kept a decent tone, liked it much more and it was even free
