Seems like V6 exhaust is one of the big topics. Now I think most of us are realistic and know we will never have that killer V8 sound, but if done right, the v6 can be made to sound sporty, strong, or just plain mean depending on how its done.

I'm continuously putting together a compilation of V6 exhausts I've come across mostly on these forums. Most will be manufacturer setups. I don't plan on posting every single custom made exhaust I find, but I have posted a few that sounded a bit unique, and had good information on the setup. Hope this helps some of you out there!

Axle-back and Cat-back kits (custom or kits) are the first section. Section two will feature cars with shorty headers installed, and section 3 will feature cars with Long Tube headers installed. The stock sound (for comparison purposes) can be found at the very bottom.

Borla Pro-X's. Now from what I understand, the GMPP exhausts are made by Borla, but the exhaust installed on this car is not the same model as the GM exhaust. According to Derin11, these are the Pro-X street mufflers. There are 4 or 5 vids spread throughout this thead.

Welcome to the TEAM. The GM system is the GMPP Exhaust.

Good Luck.

[DeanForDWin]

Those twin exhausts look great. Something that I see from them super cars. I like it and awesome photography.

Does anyone have any opinion on the JBA catback exhausts? Seems to be very little info on it

[cyber_satan]

out of all the videos posted here i think scrming *i hope i am spelling that right*
has the best sound and a good price!

[ljones]

Figured I'd do an update after posting about my MRT v2 in another thread.

The sound has grown on me, i might try the resonated xpipe to see if the interior drone is cut down. Another satisfied customer.

I don't like setting off alarms with it in the garage at work though, but damn its funny as hell. I'd say its more the cars with bad/crappy alarm systems.

[1FINE 69]

Has anyone tried PYPES ON A v6 ??

[KMPrenger]

Two pypes videos on first post...but one has shorty headers, and the other has long tube headers...both will change the sound (long tubes headers will change it significantly) but the shorties wouldn't be far off from just the cat-back itself. Check it out.
