OK...I'm starting a better V6 exhaust examples thread!!
(Last update to this post: 9/2/2010.)
All new additions will be near bottom of their appropriate section. 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. ***SECTION 1 - AXLE-BACKS / CAT-BACKS ****************************** ************************************************** ************* First up..the GMPP exhaust with sound and pics. Much Thanks to TeccBoxx and 67 GTO! http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32792 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=157 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. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ight=Borla+Pro Find the official Borla Camaro exhaust below in this thread. Magnaflows. First post in the thread lists two part numbers. First thread listed has a link to a page with TWO sound files...take off and pass by for the cat-back exhaust. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28427 Here is a camaro5 member with a few youtube videos of his magnaflow cat-back: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...49#post1413349 ..and next is a link to a member who has installed the axel-back: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62274 Here is a custom Magnaflow Exhaust by member buddylok.

I have to disagree but I think the one camaro with the gmpp exhaust for the v6 sounds a little better . But thats what I like and would put that in mine when I get it ( soon I hope ).

I dropped off my car again tonight at Corsa for final fitting and sound testing. They had basically the final exhaust on Ladyinblue's Auto car. Jim fired up her car for me and it has a really nice, powerful sound to it, definitely lower and deeper than stock(not V8 low, but nice). We then fired up my car for a direct comparison. We revved them both a little and the Corsa sounds much cleaner and more muscular than stock, but it's not nearly as whiny as some of the other aftermarket exhausts I've been hearing. While cruising at 50 mph the car sounds actually quieter than stock inside, which in my opinion is great. But when you give it a little gas you get that nice performance sound. I didn't bring my camcorder b/c I figured I'd just be dropping the car off and heading out since it was so late. They are having a car show on Sunday and I will for sure get some video and sound then unless they beat me to it this week. My apologies for no video, but soon very soon. I'd wait this one out b/c the Corsa exhaust is gonna please alot of folks and it looks and sounds fantastic.

Thanks bond2..awsome! Cant wait for that! Honestly, I'm torn between the GMPP, the Magnaflows, and the Borla Pro Xs that Derin has on his car. GMPPs sound good, but not entirely different from stock..just a tad lower. (I guess if they got even better over time they might just be perfect for me?) Borla Pro Xs sound mean, but I'd like to hear them at just cruising/neighborhood speeds as well. Same goes for the Magnaflows, although they sound a bit more whiny..but not too bad! I did email the camaro5 member JDP Motorsports about the other Magnaflow muffler he has listed (part #16584), but no sound file for. He said they would probably sound a bit lower (which might be perfect) but wouldn't get quite the performance as the other of course. He also said he is waiting on a sound file for them.
Now if those Corsas sound as you described, they just might be my new favorites!

im gonna wait till more axle back kits are out. currently borla $709 , magnaflow $673, and GMPP have kits out but waiting on corsa, stainless works, flowmaster, and possibly bassani, if not others. i want to hear them on other cars so i can make the best choice before i spend my $$$.

since i will be getting a 2lt/rs hopefully soon, i have been looking at different performance upgrades. and was thinking, since the 3.6 DI is the same engine as in the current CTS, wouldnt this custom magnaflow exhaust sound exactly the same on the v6 camaro?
this sounds amazing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMWlNAc4oEY |
