Re: no mufflers? yes or no?
Unless you like loud exhaust I'd wait. While I have not personally heard a 3.8 without mufflers, I did remove the stock mufflers from my '93 Grand Prix w/ 3.4 dohc and it was stupid loud. That only lasted a few days before I couldn't stand it anymore and put mufflers back on it. Just my opinion.

Re: no mufflers? yes or no?
Had the muffler off of my SLE for a while after it was wrecked, sounded awful. It was cool to play with before they hauled it off, but I definitely would not drive it that way...

Re: no mufflers? yes or no?
A good exhaust shop should be able to make it work. The question is are the outlets in the right places to make the exhaust work the way you want it?
