Default 98 3.8 v6 5 speed exhaust sounds help

Im looking for somthing that sounds good on a 3.8L v6 i was gonna go with flow master. But when i redo the exhaust im doing full headers, high flow cats, muffler and extended chrom tips that are rounded on the end. But i was looking for some suggestions and some pics on end tips Duel tips or single, and somthing that sounds agressive when you on it and not to loud when ur just driving around.

the magnaflow sounds awesome. i just installed one on my girls 98 3.8, and im jealous at how well it sounds. she has pacesetter headers as well, but stock cat and intermediate pipe. at idle, it has a nice lump to it like it was an 8, and a rich, deep, smooth sound under power-unlike the usual rasp from any other 6. ive heard the 3.8 with glass packs, flowmaster, dynomax, thrush, and all other sorts of mufflers, and i think it sounds the best with the magnaflow

I have a 3.8 with Magnaflow cats and catbacks with Mag 3.5 in' round tips, looks pretty sick and sounds nasty. the only thing I would second guess is the driving sound. at 75 goin down I95 its still pretty loud. Personally I like the noise.

As for headers, I hear pacesetter ceramic coated headers sound nice. the ceramic ones supposedly sound different than the plain steel ones, I've heard this from several sources but never actually heard the difference. the ceramic coated ones are supposed to have more of a growl to them, as they do cost 400 rather than 230 for plain steel...

Go to you tube and key in your make and model + exhaust sound. You'll be surprise as to how many viedos you will find. Help me in determing what sound I want to go with. Personally I liked the flow master for my v6. Don't get that ratty v6 sound.
