Default exhaust swap?

So I have a 95 camaro with the 3.4l v6 I recently fixed up, there is a camaro I may have access to whose engine is dead but its a 97 3.8l v6. It has an after market slp intake and a flowmaster exhaust. I was wondering if either of these would fit onto my car with the different engine? Thank you!

I think both exhaust are 2 1/2 in dia. The Cai I'm not sure, but you can always get some silicone adapters if the tb doesn't match up.

Why not the flowmaster? Would he lose the bottom end torque.

While any aftermarket exhaust is better than stock, Flowmaster is one of the worst. Sounds great, but for actual flow, it's barely above stock CFM on a lot of models. So unless sound is what your after and not power, go with someone else.

I'm sure he not looking for power out of a 3.4. It will sound ok up to 2500 rpm after that... rasp

Flowmasters sound like garbage on any v6. They're kinda OK on a v8. There's a reason why they're one of the cheaper options.

Flowmasters are no good.
