I had the Flowmaster ForceII on my GTA and I just replaced the muffler with a Edelbrock RPM.I had originally ordered a 3 inch from Borla but they have been discontinued.I liked my Flowmaster for about a week but after that it got old real fast.The resonance at highway speeds made my head hurt.It also kind of sounded like a truck.I'm not saying everyone will have the same experience but I hated mine.

I'd go with the Edelbrook its got a mellow idle but the wot cant be beat very powerful sound . The RPM is also a very well made muffler.
