Ight so I replaced my 2" pipe with 3", and got a Magnaflow muffler, the only things left stock are the pre-cat piping and the cat itself. If I get a new cat and replace that pipe with the 3" as well will I hear/feel a difference at all?

if the cat on there was not clogged you wont feel a difference, but if with your new setup you sure will hear the difference. when i put mine on it was a lot deeper sound

Sweet. Just with the piping and the muffler I hear a pretty big difference, not just on startup but when I'm cruising around town. She comes back from paint today, gettin the rims re-finished/new tires over the next week, speakers come before that I believe then I'll probably replace the parts I was talkin about then go from there =)

Tryin to give the V6 a bit of a power boost so it can hold its own, although I don't wanna turn it into a tuned racer hehe

On a V6 you won't notice a difference...Ive spent waayyy too much on exhaust expirementing... Oh and it's not a "305 V6", a 305 is a 5.0 V8...you have the 3.1L V6 like me which is only 189 cubic inches... Sadly doing small mods like exhaust will barely give us any power. Don't waste your money. If you wanna make power go turbo... but not if you don't wanna make it into a "tuned racer"... lots of info in the V6 section.

Turbos, to my knowledge, are really expensive I might get one someday anyways if I can find someone who knows what the hell they are doing. The cat in my car is as old as the car is so I might replace it anyways.

I drive an automatic as well which kills the potential of the V6. I plan on converting it to manual if at all possible but I need to find a good transmission, the clutch assembly, and someone who knows how to put it all together. Not to mention the console piece for the shifter (cant exactally go back and fourth to shift on a console with a straight track :P)

Right now my main concern is replacing some of the older parts in the car. Need to find out the size of bushings I need to order so I can get those replaced. Get a nasty creak when i do U turns and stuff :l
