On the exhaust side, I have not yet heard anything that I would be willing to spend much money on. All of the exhaust systems seem to be too high pitch.



If I am getting the correct info, the factory V6 exhaust is 2.5" to the H-pipe, then 2.25" from there back with 3.5" tips.


The V8 SS uses a larger 2.5" pipe back to the mufflers. In theory, a larger diameter pipe should lower the tone of the exhaust a little vs stock. The SS exhaust systems are cheap to buy as most people remove them and replace with something louder. I realize the downpipes are slightly different and it would require a little plumbing there but I think it might be interesting to try and would love to know if anyone has tried a factory ss exhaust on a v6 and what the result was.
As far as putting a factory ss exhaust on a v6 goes, I'm pretty sure it's practically the same thing past the downpipes/headers. Though I could be wrong, another thing is there was a guy who had put v8 setup on his v6 (although his was a 6th gen, which uses the LGX so not sure how well that'd line up for an LFX) and it sounds pretty good. Just a bit of a mix n match of parts.
