do a little "youtube research" and see which combo makes the sound you like.....granted the sound quality may not do the car justice, but it can give you an idea of what the car will sound like.

The stock v8 catback sounds really good on the 3.8, but it won't be loud.

the 3.4 and the 3.8 used that same manual trans. what exactly do you have? theres a lot more than just a tranny and a clutch peddle, you also need the center console, tranny subframe, complete engine wiring harness a 3.8L manual trans computer, all the hydraulics and some other things. heres a little reading material for you, just to get an idea on what you need. now this is for a V8 4L60E to T-56 swap but the list of parts is going to be very close to the same thing.

Bell housing is different between the 3.4 and 3800.
