    I have a 95 Buick century limited 3.1 V6. I got this muffler not thinking it was gonna sound that good, man was I wrong. It gave my car a mean idle and when you rev it it sounds almost like a Mustang V8. I would suggest getting this product, but if you want it really loud on this car, run it straight muffler no tail pipe. I put the tail pipe on mine and it still sounds great but quieter.

    After 2 years and 2000 miles, all in town driving with no abuse, one of the mufflers is coming apart inside. Has a vibration/rattle inside. Probably going to replace it with something different. Disappointed with sound at first, but after running awhile, they began to sound better before the rattle started.

        This muffler delivers great performance and sound for half the price of the 50 series flowmaster. I put this muffler on my 91 S10 with the 4.3 v6 and it sounds like a V8 now. The sound and flow are good without being abnoxiously loud. It'll be the only muffler I buy from here on.

        Replaced stock muffler that was rusting with this Thrush. After 30 days the interior started braking and a buzz began. 1.5 years later the buzz is louder than the muffler and is obnoxious.

              Flowmaster's patent on their 40 series muffler expired, So Thrush copied them. They sound exactly the same, and look a little better a half the price of Flowmasters.

                I own a 95 Ford Taurus SHO. After repairing things nessescary to make the vehicle safe,I decided to install performance exhaust. Of course,everyone was telling me "It's a v6 and you wont get decent sound." Which,being an exhaust expert,I kinda believed.So,I didn't shell out the big bucks for Flowmasters. Boy am I glad. The sound out of these Thrush welded mufflers is perfect,the price is outstanding,and performance is delightful.Thank you Thrush!!!!

                      just bought this exhaust must say i thought it was going to be a disappointment, but this[$] muffler has a 100 dollar sound. deep and aggressive, not like all those fart cans you hear driving around. this makes your car sound like a muscle car, i have a 02 grand prix gt 3.8L this exhaust really helped my car sound mean. adds a bit of power too, all in all a must buy for someone thats looking for that "mean" car sound.
