Aftermarket high flow exhaust, Flowmaster?

[Mark Dupoise]

I am curious as to who has installed a high flow exhaust, no noise makers and possibly flowmaster mufflers to get a true, throaty sound from the engine. I want to cast off the "sleeper" moniker and give my SHO the vocals she deserves... I want everyone to know she has teeth. If anyone has done this and has been able to get the "muscle car" exhaust sound of the engine please let me know what you did. I am thinking a custom 3 inch dual exhaust setup with flowmasters and chrome tips.

It's going to sound like garbage and drone.

I understand the effect you desire, however, I'm afraid the previous poster may have a better take on what you propose and the likely outcome. The Gen3 comes with 8 cyl, and the exact exhaust setup gives it that "musclecar" throaty sound (as I have posted previously in the Gen3 forum), but unfortunately (or fortunately for my license) minus the speed. Twin turbo V6s make very impressive power, but won't have that 8 cyl deep throaty sound you're craving.

Here ya go - and to @Majestic it does have drone. I had researched this and there is ways to make it not drone - and might fix it in the future. Personally - doesnt sound like crap to me and I can explain - I am using the Flowmax Flow FX as resonators - they help with the deeper tones before the Magnaflow straight pipe/glass packed mufflers. The fix - use the X pipe magnaflows as replacements to the Flowmax FX. You need 2 - they have intrnal X pipe design to reduce the drone. I have a link to a guy who tried many configs before fixing the drone.

So what did you do to your SHO today!?

I got my TurboBay Stage 3 rebuilds installed this weekend. The seat of the pants feels quicker and sounds louder (especially on decel). I will go through a gas tank and then send data logs out. I was able to reinstall the turbos with TurboSmart Wastegates with the front axle still installed...

ALSO - my exhaust before the resonator and 3rd cat delete.

Muscle car exhaust sound and V6 don’t belong in the same sentence.

You can get it rowdy, but it will never sound “muscle car.”

I get it and the turbos wont allow the 'raw' sound of the engine through either.

EB V6's just can't sound like you want them to sound, even the EB Raptor doesn't sound all that good, IMO. If you want it to be a little more noticeable, get a pair of Tony D's torque mounts, they will transfer more NVH through the car and make it sound a little more aggressive.

I gotta get a go pro and put it in the car and put on the trunk and record the audio.

Mine sounds like super car it’s crazy

Sourced from LMS, for improved performance... I installed the exhaust headers from American Racing, and the pipes (low back pressure cat) from Corsa. Even the black tips have garnered appreciative comments. As far as the sound goes, the car never fails to receive admiring glances and comments after a launch or at 100+mph on the straight at the race track. As aside regarding engine sounds... I was so happy to remove the noise maker!
