What really works?

I see all these guys conflict with each other. One says dynomax, one says flowmaster, another says hooker. Which catback, or muffler, will give me a deeper, throatier sound. (can't expect that much from a 6, but) If any of you guys know, leave a reply. Also, does anyone have any sound clips. V6's only!

Nah, this is the Exhaust board, but I would ask there also. Either Dynomax or Flowmaster.

My usual crew is almost all V-6 FourthGens, and they all have Flows. Except for Brandon, who runs his 3.4 with straight pipes. (The wierdest sounding car i've ever heard)

My buddy has Dynomax and it isn't deep or throaty at all. Its a 350 too, so I don't think it would do much for a V6. My Ravin' system sounds really nice, I don't know what it would sound like on a 6 though.

You could go with a glasspack muffler to get some sound. I recomend the cherrybombs, nice and cheap.

For a 6 its hard to say 'cause I've never dealt with them much. I think a flowmaster might be kinda "thin" sounding on a small 6, but I could be wrong. Dynomax would have a better sound probably, but they arent' very loud though they do flow good. I've never heard a hooker on a V6, might be cool though. I guess those are kinda the "big" ones.
