Dont bother with a high performance exhaust system unless you got a V-8 under the hood. Invest your money in a nice stereo system.

If you want loud, take a hack saw and cut your mufflers off.

I don't think I'd go for loud on a v6, that might not sound too good. I'd go for a nice tone. I bet my hooker catback would probably sound nice on that 60 degree v6.

Don't be a what? I wasn't making fun, I like the sound of a 3.4, 3.1, 2.8 with the right exhaust.

I currently have the Dynamax cat-back on my V-6. Sounds really good all through the rpm range. Only problem is a loose heat shield on the cat, which causes a rattle at idle and lower rpms. Gonna replace it with a high-po cat soon.

LOL, damn man you should have posted this on the V6 board. Where none of the V8 guys roam. Anyways its funny how they say V6s dont sound good with an exhaust but yet alot of people confuse my car with a V8 car. Weird! Anyways, go with Dynomax. Its cheap and good all round.

I like the flowmaster american thunder catback with a random cat converter. If I were you I wouldnt go over a 2 1/2 inch pipes cause lack of backpressure in our tiny v6 engines might result in loss of torque(someone correct me if I'm wrong).

This is what I have in my car and in the early rpm's my SE V6 sounds a little like my 305 formula.
