would this muffler sound good on a chevy 3.5l v6 (05 malibu) even if i still have the stock resonator on the car? or an N1 style muffler be better?

I have it on a2005 dodge ram and it sounds great all I did replace the muffler and left factory tail pipe and the catalytic converters it added a little horse power too so yes

I have a 3.8 in a 02 Grand Prix with two mufflers and the stock resonator and I love it, but I'll have to replace the resonator soon because of age of the original exhaust. My car isn't necessarily as sound proof though as your car might. If you want a ricer then get the N1 if you want real exhaust go with the thrush.

As long as you have the stock muffler off it does provide a very deep tone. I would recommend removing the sound resonator if one is on your car to give it the extra loudness.

Yes.. It would sound good.. If you don't have any other mod on the explorer its good.. It won't sound like super loud when u go slow like some other exhaust.. I have a lancer 04 and it only sounds when I punch it.. If it fits I'm not sure I never seen a explorer piping.. But it would sound good

To be honest with you. This is a great item. It is not ridiculously loud. It is more less a deep sounding growl. I actually love it. It is not an annoying over bearing sound. I recommend it if you are not looking for the ridiculous loud sounding muffler. If you purchase it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Yes, I have one on my 2003 silverado with a 5.3L. Sounds amazing run out the back to stainless echo tips

Get it with the muffler. Too me it just sounds like an old caterpillar tractor. Utter crap. Also I wake up early and my neighbors would not stop complaining(and normally they dont care about much.) I bought the muffler that fits this. Its a bit louder than stock but actually sounds good. Nice good deep rumble. and it still has the same throttle response I noticed with the straight pipe.

I have this on my 2008 Chevy Equinox and I find that it is not too loud, pretty close to a stock sound. Whether it fits or not would depend on the size pipe on your car. This is not a very large muffler but does the job.

It should sound good. I took my integra to a muffler shop and had the oem exhaust cut from cat back. Replaced it with 2.5 inch stainless steel and it sounded great. Overall a great deal and the finish has lasted

I have this on my e46 looks good and sounds perfect! I had an employee at my job install it since he's good with exhaust work. Does take a skilled welder to install it. Highly recommend buyin the Y pipe if you own a bmw or any duel pip exhaust since it's single inlet. Def worth it tho if you're not enthused about spending over a grand for a entire one. Had a friend get this for his e36 m3 aswell. Can't beat it for the price!

yah a good exhaust shop could build you a nice exhaust with this muffler, i use one on my Suzuki Swift GTi and it makes a huge difference in the quality and tone of the exhaust as well as volume under load, oh and if i can fit this can under my little roller-skate of a car you should have no problems finding a place on an explorer

The muffler can be welded on.Your best bet will be to take it to a muffler shop and let them custom design your set up.. I have this muffler on a Chevy 8cyl and it's barely loud.. If you have a 6cyl it probably won't give you much roar but that will be up to you to decide. But yes you can definitely get it adapted at a muffler shop.The tips can be found online anywhere that will be up to your discretion just make sure they have a 3in inlet since that's the mufflers outlet diameter.Hope this helps

Hi Nelson, this muffler will fit very well.It installed quickly and you don't need to use a clamp because it is a slip on and when the muffler warms up it doesn't leak at all.It is on the loud side but it improves performance and saves you over ten lbs.The stock muffler is 21 lbs.I would also suggest that you put a small metal plate under your rear fender on the muffler side to keep the fender from melting or getting to soft.Most after market muffler companies don't mention this fact even though their mufflers come so much closer to the rear fender. Hope this was a help, Gary H

To me this is classic sound for a truck! I have them on a 78 bronco with a 460 motor and love the sound! Also same exact mufflers on a 56 f100 truck running a 302 and love the sound there. If your piped all the way over the axle the sound is perfect and not to loud. If u dump in front of the wheel or turn down before the axle it might be a little loud from the side but still would not be as loud as a flowmaster 40 series or anything like that.

Yuppers like a charm. When you pull the stock one off. Ther is going be a mesh-like fitting that wont allow you to putt new exhaust on. JUst wiggle that off and your good to go. It will have you drill a small hole for a pin that will hold it in place. But other than that. It is extremely easy to install. About 15 mins for me. Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure buy it here and take it to a muffler shop I'm sure they can find way to fit it in this is a good sounding muffler I messed up the sound on my Honda prelude because I put in header nd the 2.5 in exhaust pipe nd 2.5 in high flow Magneaflow cat it open the exhaust too much so the sound isn't nice and tight and clean like it was before I put header so just becareful of that but other then that it's an good muffler wen I first got it and it's loud

Not really. It's a little louder than oem, but nothing notable. If you want to actually hear it, I have also had a k&n; intake. It was much louder. Although the fit and finish of s&b; was a bigger factor for me.

Probably louder than stock, but not real loud.... the exhaust sounds real nice. Nice and mellow, but noticeable.
