Exhaust (muffler)
I know I need a new cat and my exhaust is leaking. I have my factory trans am muffler (2001 WS6) with about 100 miles on it and a new used magnaflow muffler as well. After thinking about it, I might like to put the trans am muffler on it instead with the magnaflow cat, then I can have my dual exhaust and still have it be deep sounding but not so loud. Would the trans am muffler be more restrictive? I wouldn't think so since I always read that we can't out flow the stock exhaust, I would think I couldn't out flow a TA exhaust either. Right now I currently have the N10 exhaust but I don't even know whaty it sounds like with the leak I have. Any thought on the sound and what I should do? Also if I decide to have the TA exhasut put on I will have a slightly used magnaflow for sale in the for sale section....
Thanks,
Chris

That will not be a problem, especially since almost all of the aftermarket mufflers we buy for our Bonnevilles are really for the F cars anyway. You should be good to go.

I have a camaro/firebird muffler on mine with the stock resonator and high flow cat. People seem to like my exhaust tone. It'* deep and noticeable in city traffic, yet quiet at highway speeds

And I'm positive that replacing the Cat with a High flow will change that tone, make it a little deeper maybe...
