While driving around town you can hear it and know its there but not enough to drive you crazy. Above around 3000 RPM's I'd say I can hear the engine more than the exhaust. Great system

Thank you so much for your insight. I think you may have just pushed me over the edge to buy it. Can I spray paint the tip black? If so what kind of paint does everyone recommend?

Hopefully this attaches.

You could/can just use a high temp paint.

Thank you so much. Do you recommend the clips or getting it welded on?

The clamps are perfect, but if you or a buddy can weld (or it is a reasonable price), that is also good. But clamps for ease, plus many OEM applications use clamps these days. This is an easy install if you have an hour or so. Soak the rubber isolators, wear eye protection, and loosen and replace the stock exhaust.

Default Dynomax

Its the only way to go, the sound is fantastic at all RPM's. I probably gained like 197hp with their setup.....well maybe not that much, but at least 3hp. Anyway, the exhaust note is amazing, I get asked by people quite often what motor I am running because of the deep tone.

Can you see the stainless wonder under my rig!!

Ha! Just as a heads up, G's system dumps in front of the rear axle because of the rear suspension setup, and no he hasn't died from exhaust fumes.

Thank you all very much! I'm definitely going with the Dynomax. Also, Dynomax, thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering why it didn't go all the way out.

I found a HD video with the Dynomax exhaust. Sounds great for the 3.8L. Not something I'd put on mine, I'm a quiet exhaust guy when it comes to anything but race cars, but this one sounds pretty good to me! Make sure to switch it to 720 or 1080P for the better audio quality in the video.
