What engine is in it? Either will sound better than stock. If It still has the cat on it a strait pipe after that will sound good. Thats the way my truck was before I got headers.

I don't think your tranny (auto or stick) will make a difference in the exhaust tone. The muffler you chose and cat or no cat make the difference.

well with a manual you can control how high the rpms go which creates more exhasht noise and i was just wonderin about an auto because you cannot really rev it up whithout it reachin a certain point then have it shift.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking

With a stick shift you can hold the clutch and rev as much as you want and then drop the clutch (your clutch won't last too long though)

With an auto, it depends how hard to press the gas. If you press the gas slowly, you'll shift gears smothly, but if you mash the gas the tranny will downshift or upshift (depending how fast you're already going) and have a louder exhaust since you're at higher RPM.
