way too much work for something that would be just as good with a single exhaust. hell, most settle for a single exhaust setup with v8s. just go with headers, and a 2.5" catback system.

And it'll sound like one of those old rusted out 87 Cavaliers you can hear from a mile away because the muffler fell off.

It would be like two 1.4L Hondas sitting next to each other having a farting contest.

Yea...... we need that.

nothing about the set-up being too big for the sake of the engine? that'd be my only worry... but if noone says anything about that.. go ahead SmuurF and ignore them.. it's your car, you do whatever you want with it... record it once it is finished so we can hear if it really sounds like hondas... which I doubt

LMFAO, HAHA. But on a serious note, why dou you need all that flow on a v6?? If I'm not mistaken, don't they only have like 130hp anyway?? Unless you had plans of doing any heavy mods (NOS, Supercharger, etc...) You'l probably actually lose power with a setup too open for your motor. It'd probably actually choke the motor more than anything else. Just my 2cents.
