Exclamation Exhaust sound help

Hello all recently got my camaro v6 in the UK.
I did not like the sound of stock so I read up and decided to to order mrt v1 mufflers to make it sound abit louder,
But I seem to have lost the deeper sound and now sound like a boy racer. I have ordered my solo performance high flow cats they are on the way to the UK from the USA. I have read alot of mixed reviews on these so I thought I would ask you guys for some advise before actually putting them On the camaro.
After adding the high flow cats to mrt v1 mufflers how will this sound/what does it do to the sound?
Am looking for a aggressive, deep, rumble sound.
Thank you

I have been reading up about
resonated X-pipe
resonated H-pipe

I thought the H makes it deepen and gives it more a muscle sound.

OK I understand. So if I wanted to get a resonated x-pipe would I just be able to get any or does it have to be for the camaro and a certain brand. The reason I ask this is I am getting abit tired of ordering from USA and delivery is expensive and then also customs.

opinions are like belly buttons, so please don't take mine the wrong way...leave the factory exhaust on your V6. it is the best sounding option. a V6 will never sound like a v8 no matter how hard you try. it will just sound like a pissed off weed eater.

Heres a fly by of my exhaust setup. MRT v1 with Resonated X pipe, 2nd cat delete, resonator delete and 2.75 piping. Get a Resonated X pipe and it will deepen the tone.

Do you have a v-6? I bet you don't cause you would know it is not the best sounding option, just like stock v-8 isn't the best sounding option. I don't think the OP asked how can I get it to sound like a v-8 did he? So don't take this the wrong way, but I think you and your belly button need to seek some kind of professional counseling, possibly meds.

Haven't seen you in a long time, Luis!
I lurk from time to time lol congratulations on your new car. My friend has one, its tuned and had some other mods that I dont know off. The torque on that car feels insane.

Of course i dont have a v6. Real men drive real muscle cars joking aside, sound is always a personal preference. Ill cruise with quiet decent sounding exhaust before ever letting my sports car sound like a civic. And, no i dont need to own a v6 to hear what they sound like.

Currently I have mrt v1 and was thinking of adding a resonated x pipe, how much will this quiet it down and do I leave the stock resonators on also?

I think getting the mrt v1 you should've known it'd be on the louder side. I'd think anything else you could do that would flow more air would only add decibels or at most smooth the raspiness out.

I'm with you. Info on a V8 exhaust does nothing for me considering i own a 2015 LS. Never really been one to research something than doesn't apply to me.
