No. Look it up on their site but somehow they keep drone to a minimum and are quite proud of it.

However I think Borla is your best bet for a 3800.

Nope...when they switched from the LT1 to the LS1 in '98 they swapped in the 3800 for the 3400 IIRC. Plus...that thing is dualed...RWD...probably long tube Pacesetters...one of those things you get with RWD as FWD 3800's sound like crap.

I would say this..

Borla: For sound
Magnaflow polished mufflers: For looks
Summit turbo mufflers: Soundgood, For budget (which i dont think your on)

I also heard a GTP on youtube with "force mufflers". Perhaps flowmasters? It sounds absolutley amazing and much better than any listed above. Not sure where to get ahold of them or which ones he used though.

If that sounds amazing you need your hearing checked...

That's a 3800. If it's the car I'm thinking about he's got a pretty good NA build on that with a mean cam.

My bad... I didn't realize the car was a 98 and up, I thought it was a pre 98 with the recessed headlights.

I say you get borla.

The idle and low rev sounds good. When he revs it right up it sounds like **** because its to raspy which would be because of no resonator. He was asking about mufflers.

Disregarding the horrible top gun music... That car was designed 40 years after the Camaro. The lug nuts (1 per wheel I might add) are threaded differently on each side so they cannot loosen due to being driven in the forward direction. THAT is how much attention to detail there is in that car.

YouTube - Grand Prix GTP exhaust, TOG headers and Borla catback

Not too bad.

YouTube - Grand Prix Exhaust Borla Pros vs Stock

Almost too deep for my tastes though.

YouTube - Corsa catback

Audio quality is pretty ****, but not the most impressive either.

This is pretty much how you should decide, listen to the different systems and make up your mind on what you want.
