Good exhaust system for a V6?
What would be the best system for a V6 3.1 that has good sound/perf. and doesn't end up sounding like a *****?
All comments greatly appreciated!

My opinion (having owned several FWD V6 cars): Don't put a "loud" system like Flowmaster or a glasspack on the car.
Something like a Dynomax or Walker 2-1/2" system will flow as much as the V6 needs, and will keep it quiet enough to avoid the wannabe sound. You could also put in a turbo muffler like the one Summit sells - they have a very nice tone to them, and won't restrict a V6 engine.
Midas used to sell Ravin mufflers, I hear they're out of business now.

Thanx
Thanks a bunch for the info...I was kinda torn between a couple. I hate that sound that comes out of some of the V6s without a good system.
