Muffler options

[Jscott]

Hi everyone. I’m restoring my 90 olds cutlass , the car is all original. Still has stock muffler. But I’m pretty sure it’s on it way out. My question is if there are any mufflers that won’t take away from that 3.1 raspy sound. That exhaust tone is nostalgic.

I'm sure everyone will have their own opinion here, but if you want to keep a stock sound I would highly suggest a Walker Muffler. I had them on my 3.1l Grand prix and I think they sounded better than the rusted out stock muffler, and restored the original sound.

And here is a Youtube video with a Walker Muffler on a Pontiac 6000. To each their own, if you don't like this, there are plenty of other options. I really like Magnaflow mufflers as well and have those on my GTP, and my old 3.4l Cutlass.
