Default Alpha Exhaust

I'm looking to get at least a new muffler for the truck. However, I'm no mechanic and was wondering what everyone suggests.

Thanks for the help!

magnaflow and gibson are the only two out that have replacement catback systems.

Ya I saw those, but i'm not sure if getting a whole catback system is worth it compared to just putting on a high flow muffler.

On the H3, the last part of the exhaust is the muffler. Look under there.

That's on the 3.5L though. I don;t think GM has a performance exhaust for the Alpha yet. I should have the magnaflow on this next week. I wanted to wait for Corsa but for some reason that haven;t responded to ANY of my EMails. I have had CORSA exhaust on a few of the H2's. Great quality, great sound, no interior drone. I'm hoping the magnaflow is like this too.

My uncle has corsa on his vette, and I love the sound. Just FYI I did hear some negative things about the magnaflow exhaust. But of course its all hear - say. I haven't heard anything about the gibson exhaust. I'm a little befuddled looking under the Alpha (most of my automotive experience is with sport cars) and seeing what appears to be a resonator? and a muffler tacked on to the main pipe (which we measured at 2.25 or 2.5 inches). What about a custom job that runs a 3 inch pipe with a single high-flow muffler? I would think you could get away with that cheaper than a cat back and with higher performance. But of course, I'm just brainstorming.

GM performance parts has a catback for the Alpha. We put one on the other day. It's not as loud as a magnaflow would be, but it does sound quite a bit better than stock.

Those dual chrome tips look nice but don't do any of this.
