V6 engine. Which muffler. Cost is the same.
Keep in mind this is a V6. I'd go hooker again in a heartbeat if it was a V8. |

I <3 my magnaflow for quiet yet agressive. Just seems to be too quiet nowadays. No idea how it'd sound on a v6 though. _________________

I had a crossflow hooker aerochamber on my V6 and it sounded really nice, nice growl at idle but not to raspy above 3500rpm. it was alot better than the flowmaster 80 series it replaced which I did not like at all on the v6.
never had the magnaflow, so i can't really compare the two, but I can vouch for the hooker aerochamber on a 60* V6... |

Aerochamber for sure.
I've heard a what a Magnaflow sounds like on a 3.4L 4th gen. You won't like it. _________________

| Get the one that costs less. It's not going to really amount to any hill of beans difference otherwise. |

A hill of sound beans when there is 14psi and close to 300 horse running down it.  |

With the turbo on, it will get real quite, the turbo quites the exaust down, since it takes a good chuck of the energy out of it.

Any reason to muffle it at all? Turbos do keep things nice and toned. _________________

A few 4cyl heavy turboed cars unmuffled I've heard are rather loud.
Both are a straight through muffler. Plus it's not getting the turbo for a while. Still making the thing road worthy. |

I just figured a fairly open V8 would snarl nicely with some turbo chop. Maybe not. I know 4 Cylinder turbos with straight pipes are very loud, but the boxer motors sound great. _________________

In the words of Tony the motor is a vee-six. |

Went with the Magnaflow. I dig the sound.
We'll see how it sounds when I get the pipe out behind the bumper. |
