Default Which would be better

Just bought a 2000 3.8l and the first thing I am going to do is add an exaust and I am wondering which would be better, havin it dumped or havin a set of duals fabed up. Im pretty sure i am goin with flomasters.

If you get it dumped, be prepared for alot of noise inside the ride![:'(] I'd get the exhaust fabbed up at a shop over the axle and call it a day. As for flowmasters, I'm not a fan at all, but I hear the 40's series are good, or the force mufflers. Do a search, most will agree the force are the same sound wise, and half the price. GL

Trust me, I've had dumped exhaust before on a v8 (73 cuda), you will like it for a little while, but the novelty will wear off QUICK! I only lasted two weeks dumped, went to the shop and had em finish over the axle. It is cheaper to get dumped (before axle) so try that first, if you like it your good, if not, you still have the option to get over the axle to tips.

You could have it exit the profile of the car and keep it legal. There's a crazy idea.
