I guess you could say that lol...but still anyone have anything i could listen to?
im getting sick of the stock exhaust sound and i figure it wouldnt be too bad of a deal to get a magnaflow fart can for 50 bucks...

I had a brief chat with alero_bmxer. He has a 2.4 with a Magnaflow 2.5 single in and 2.5 dual out. Also, there might be a need for a reduction pipe to fit from stock, but it looks like a sweet set-up to me, and he said it sounds awesome.

All I can tell for sure is that a resonator of some sort is necessary near the cat to reduce a lot of the annoying overtones. Past that the Flowmaster Hushpower series gives the smoothest V8-style sound I've heard. Also depends a lot on what is feeding it, I'm using Pacesetter headers and a non-restrictive cat...
Wish I could help more (on my second full exhaust setup on this car). Sound clips will be made the next day I spend at the welders place - promise.

I know, I'm lame. I thought about it, but I had to work, and I need that money to keep living.... stupid rent... and bills... and buying stuff for my hoe that I don't need, but it feels soo good to spoil her :)

That muffler doesn't count... Oldsman's doesn't sound like that at all.

Yea thats what i thought it would sound like also.
but for everyone else. it has a CAI and stock everything from headers back, the guy im getting it from has a 3.4 and the shop he got his work done at just did a nice little "bolt on" kind of deal so that if he got any pressure from cops he could go back to stock fairly easily

Unless you're doing a complete exhaust I'd stay away from the Magnaflow muffler. It will sound way too raspy.
A Dynomax Super Turbo would be a much better choice, in my opinion. They sound really nice without being overly loud.

ok so i went fart can on my 2.4 and i regret it especially at 65mph, my radio is cranked and i still hear my exhaust and barely hear my radio... which i am actually thinking about getting something alittle more restrictive that will quiet it down some cause its not that bad when its idling but you get into it and its really obnoxious but oh well it was $120 muffler bought and installed.

Aww man :( I've been thinking about doing this myself, and I was either leaning toward Magnaflow or Flowmaster Super 44. What brand/size did you get?

i went and checked out the muffler the guy is selling me today after i got back from my lil camping trip at Copper Falls State Park with my family and girlfriend... and it sounded pretty nice..he let me take his car for a spin so i tested out all of the highs and lows and it wasnt loud in car at all but some of my buddies in town said that it sounded nice outside so im thinking this will be a pretty good buy. only catch is that his car is a 3.4...

4 cylinder and V6 will sound completely different even if using the same muffler.

if youre asking if that sounds good, and if you should get it then no. 1000 times no. sounds like a weed whacker. this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBDe6qCzb_g) is just about what mine sounds like. maybe a bit louder because its larger diameter pipe. probly about as deep a tone as you will get with the 2.4. not too loud inside the car either.
