Default Stall converter?

I got a 99 TA with full exhausts, tune, 3.73 gears and a 3600 stall. I have been told that is to big of a stall, does anybody know if it is? and what is a good muffler to go with to get a good deep sound out of this car?

I have the same stall and it doesn't seem like a lot. I also still have 2.73 gears so you have it better than me. I have a hooker catback and it sounds pretty good

i've never heard anyone recommend anything smaller than 3800. and for exhaust, bassani makes a very deep, good sounding true dual system, or you could buy their muffler for about $100.
