    :D

    she sure do sound a lil betta lol

    alot deeper tone but not "muscle car" sounds more like a ricer but really really deep. i think im going to go down pep boys sometime this weekend and invest in a turbo muffler since they seem the way to go for a 6, but if anybody has a better idea im all ears:bouncy: im just looking for the best bang for the buck muffler to slap up there. mine was all rusted out and sounded like crap

    when I had a 6 in my mustang I had a turbo muffler from autozone and it sounded pretty good. Almost sounded like a v-8 at idle didn't sound like a ricer at mid range but at high rpm it kinda sounded ricer with a deep tone. buy the way it was the cheep one at autozone, 2-1/2 inch muffler with adapter at inlet and 2-1/2 inch tale pipe. hope this helps. :thumbs2:

    yea sounds like a plan.

    i just took it out on the highway cause i had to run up to the store.

    im definatly not a fan of the no muffler sound on this car so i'll have to try something

    Good luck! Mine is a V8 with a single exhaust and a huge tube muffler a-la 1973 vintage. Sounds fair but I can't wait for the new exhaust!
    Make a video so we can hear yours when you're done!

    I have the Turbo on my 200 I6 and it is quiet in my opinion. Whe you first start it up cold it does have kind of a stock V8 tone to it. IMHO a Thrust or Hush Thrust ( do they even make those anymore :huh:) sounds great on a I6. I had a Thrush on my old I6 and it sounded nice, it was the same size and mounted in the same place as the stock cylindrical muffler that came on the car that was mounted back next to the gas tank.
