How do i get a v8 sounding exhaust for a v6? I am converting to a dual exhaust for my v6 and have chosen SLP Loudmouths for the axleback which I hear provide a good rumble. What other parts of the exhaust can make it louder and deeper and any specific brands?

i just went custom bent true duals with cats, mine sound great.
the JLT CAI really took 95% of the pop out of my mufflers ( oversized chambers )

sadly it wont ever sound like a V8.. unless you get a V8. it's just the way our engines fire and that we have 2 less pistons. i personally enjoy the sound of just removing the muffler. theres some drone in certain ranges but sounds awesome at WOT and people always ask what kinda exhaust i have so i smile and say none lol. but its free and you should take a look at it before you spend money on exhaust unless you want the extra couple hp. i'm just planning on replacing the engine once my loan is up.

Love it. Cant wait to put on my Bassani race exhaust on my GT next week. can u say WAKING THE NEIGHBORHOOD UP?
Ull never be the same as a GT. Prob louder but most V6 exhausts are just noise, not that rumble that a V8 puts out. Id go similer exhaust to 05Horse.
