what exhaust system sounds the best? My friend has a 3800 ll with cherry bombs on it and it sounds like a po'ed lawn mower. I dont want my 3800 to sound like his.

Here is a small sample of some sound clips from Series I Bonnevilles.
http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...84&highlight=A
There are many topics about exhaust (and many sound clips) and if you hit the "search" button up on top of the page and type in "exhaust", you will get to hear many more.
This is a real tough one to answer because there are so many opinions on what sounds good to different people. Do the "Search", listen to some exhausts, and go from there.

the best thing we can tell you is to attend a meet and hear for your self....a camera doesnt represent the sound accurately

Our cams are pretty aggressive, particularly when compared to european cars. That'* why. And a 6 will never sound as 'smooth' as an 8.
I agree with the Magnaflow, however. Mag cat, Mag resonator, mag muffler.

I'll try and dig up what he did to his.
And videos really don't do a car justice.

rrounds has one of the best that I've heard. He'* got dual 3" hookers. I've got pretty much a straight through exhaust, I was thinking that if I couldn't make it sound good, I was gonna make it loud.
