Yup...sounds excellent but still has that "rice" sound at higher RPM's.
Try looking at the MagnaFlow "TurboXL"...i'm running it on my '97 V6
(with 3" single exhaust) and it sounds very nice at all rpm ranges.

Subject: DML: Re: Re: DML Need exhaust system upgrade advice
I was thinking of doing an exhaust on my V6... Has anyone put a
flowmaster 70series on their V6? I want something that will be decently
quiet and give me a nice deep throaty sound without EVER letting the
telltale V6 buzz come out.
