I was wondering what kind of exhaust would sound best on my 2002 Firebird. I'm looking to replace it, tho not right away, and need opinions. I don't want something loud, just a nice, low, smooth tone. And hopefully wallet friendly.

Well, you could always look for a used stock Z28 or T/A exhaust system. Jessica bought mine and loves it.Steve

I used to have loudmouth and from what you've said that is exactly what you DONT want. When my parents made me change it I got edelbrock and made the i-pipe so that it is full 3" and its sounds great. No rasp at all (hard to believe i know), very smooth and not loud. Wish I had the stuff to make a sound clip of it.
EDIT: its cheap in price as well'99 SSM Camaro V6 M5
Stock with an irratic idle...

Honestly the other day I heard one of those Flowmaster systems (the one with the resonator) on a V6 Firebird. It just didn't sound right. I personally would never recommend changing the exhuast on a V6 because it doesn't sound good through all the RPM ranges. I had a GTP before my Camaro and had the bright idea to change the exhuast system (Flowmaster and Magnaflow) on that and I was never happy with the sound. The sound was horrible around 2000-3000 RPM, but at idle it sounded awesome. This is just my opinion though.If you really want to I would go Borla I have heard one Borla system before on a V6 and it sounded all right.Speed kills... Drive a Ford and live forever!

This is the flowmaster kit that I was talking about. I read about it in motor trend a while back.

Do you know how much shipping would be to 92115 (just a rough estimate)? And how much it would be to get installed, since I live in an apartment complex and park on the street? BTW, you're awesome for offering. Thanks so much!

I am just guessing but maybe $20.00 at most.You will have to E-mail me for pics I can not post them they will be to big. Get back to me at zlee@bellsouth.net You will have to check on a price to get installed where you live. Blazer
