i recently had the 2 back mufflers replaced with flowmasters and it sounds much better but i was wondering if there was anyway to make it louder? what about the muffler in the middle?

thanks

the resonator? you can remove that to make it really loud but the best way to add sound is mufflers but you already got those. borla turbos are good it you want to replace them with something in the future.

is it a good idea to remove it? what affect does it have on my car? :)

a few hp (may not be noticable) you will have a loud (shitty sounding IMO) exhaust and it will likely have a drone at most speeds. unless your just trying to wake the neighbors i wouldnt remove it.

shitty sound even with the flowmasters?

i think they sound good just would like them a little louder dont want anything too loud though what your saying seems like thats a lot louder than what i want

if it were me (which its not ;) )i would leave the resonator in and get a 3" DP and high flo/delete the cat. you will have a more agressive sound and the hp gain will be better also. btw most ppl agree that you cant make a v6 sound like a v8 so good luck if thats your goal. the most noticable difference in sound if made by switching the mufflers and pipes. here is a little clip to help; http://www.regalgs.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32663&sid=bf5efd2336d18c902e5019883e1bc6a2
