Default 3rd gen 6 popper exhaust?

Gang we have a 89 RS 2.8 5 speed car for a winter beater. It sits a lot of the summer cause its a winter car. I'm sick of putting crappy napa pipes and mufflers on it every couple of years. Is there anything better? Not looking for loud or shinny just functional.

Dynomax does have the option for SS But i still believe the carcass of the muffler is mild steel just the pipes are SS. Hooker is mild steel and will rot on a winter car. Sounds damn good though. id try and get a quite SS mufler and pipes i dont know of one off the top of my head. Magnaflow Might be quite on a 2.8 with a Cat see if you can youtube a video of a magnaflow on a V6 f-body.

Yeah I would guess that a Magnaflow would not sound obnoxious, especially with a cat. Might be a little louder than stock. Plus it's stainless and reasonably priced.

i think the 2.8 is one of the better sounding V6's to be honest. with a properly toned exhaust at low rpm they sound deep and throaty. id say get a Magnaflow. it wont be loud untill high RPM and i bet you wont zing it past 3 grand anyways.

Get the Magnaflow Scott. Reasonably priced, stainless steel and a nice look/sound. You and Carrie will be happy.

It looks like Magnaflow doesn't make a V6 3rd gen exhaust so you would have to do what Nick said, get the V8 catback and run a reducer. That Dynomax stainless catback on Summit looks like a good option too.
