Got the cutout installed....
Went to Meineke today, got the cutout and u-bend delete put in, and deleted the resonator. Took some video comparing with it closed, and with it open, though the video doesnt do justice to how it sounds with it opened...Nice low rumble at lower RPMs, but it screams in the upper RPMs.
http://gp99gt.tripod.com/ grand prix cutout link, or http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...P2SFR7D29AZNUG
kinda sounds like James's firebird, only less buzzy

gonna have to hear it in person.
you shouldn't have even bothered revving it from a standstill.....as all we V6 guys know, the 3.8's sound like crap in park/neutral. they sound best under acceleration.

actually it doesnt sound too bad without a load on it...with the cutout open that is. the stock mufflers sound like ass, and now theyre even more raspy cause they deleted the resonator too.

nope, but its on like a 45 degree angle down. the pipe locations dont leave much room around them, since theyre inset into the underbody.
