Are you asking about the 3" SS targa mufflers? I have them and love them. Great sound, not too much resonance. Good choice.

If not asking about the mufflers, please disregard my post :cheers:

I have the 3" targas on mine......pretty nice sound when WOT and good sounding when idleing. I have the rear Y pipe with the crossover so the resonance isn't bad at all.....it really is a good deal! my .02. :thumbs:

I have the 2.5" ones and love them. I have to warn you though, i fyou get the 3", you WILL lose low end if you are stock. You may gain some at higher rpms, but once again if you are stock those are waaay too big. I noticed a slight loss of low-end once I put these on, but with my mods now they work great, they sound great, and look great.. :thumbs:
