Time For New Muffler

The Flowmaster is starting to feel it's age and rot. Time for a new 1 in 2 out. Not looking for a whole 3400 cat-back just a good sounding muffler, nothing ricey. What's the concensus for a similar muffler but a bit more "toned down" than the 80 series Flow.

Also, anybody with duals and the Razzi rear have the cut out measurements? Center-to-center plus actual opening width would be helpful. Even more helpful if you want to sell it to me

SLP

SLP for sure

u guys nuts? he said he wants a more TONED DOWN muffler from the 80 not a louder one.

u guys obvioulsy havent heard the 2 to be able to compare them.

embe.......... 40 series flowmaster is not as loud and doesnt drown as much as the 80.

ive heard a magnaflow muffler befor and that sounded pretty good to.... again not quite as loud as teh 80.

slp is about the loudest non coffee can muffler u can put on your car though

[derek_ski99]

i dunno sweet...i heard nick's slp and i think my magnaflow is louder.

[14alero]

Hey Sweet a 40 series is louder then a 80s serious if you want quiet just buy a Turbo Muffler

[SweetNLow]

40's are not louder than 80's....... i have a 40 and joel has an 80 and his car is way louder espically when driving.

i think slp and magnaflow are about on par. but slp has a rather "ricey" sound to it imo

ya slp has a much raspier sound. similar to that as a coffee can muffler.

it would make sense that u have the slp though..... then u have that ricey sound with your ricey carbon fiber vinyle covered mirrors

[derek_ski99]

its funny how you support SLP as being the only decent muffler or exhaust setup to have on our cars because thats what you have.

[14alero]

Learn how to spell Vinyl not vinyle I dont have slp on my car i have a 40 Series flowmaster soon to change to SLp

IMHO, a 3400 will sound better than a 3800 in all occasions! the V6/60 sound just sounds better.

dude, have you ever heard ANY 3800 from intense racing? a 3400 will never sound like that. ever. the white GTP dyno ranks up there in my top 10 best sounds.

Well, post a link to a sound clip then. I've heard one 3800s that sound nice at idle, but none on acceleration. Then again that's totally personal opinion. Heck, aside from the turbo sound, even the old 3.8s (like the GNs) just sound bad to me, as well as the 4.3s and about any 90° V6. I honestly like the way my 3400 sounds, albeit a bit loud. I've had many people tell me it sounds like a much larger engine.

Back when I installed my exhaust there wasn't much out there on Alero's to compare it to, so I took a chance with the Flowmaster. I can't even remember if Molson had his exhaust at the Windsor meet back then. :alcoholic: I know SLP has a reputation for being Raspy and last I heard they were only available in a cat-back. I'm looking just for a replacement muffler, transverse, single in-dual out. Exhaust has a noticeable difference in sound between the 4 bangers and the 3400. Even a link to a good thread would help.
