I have a truck with a V6 in it, and want to know how to get it to sound good and pretty loud.....with some popping to it ...

what can I do or get?

whats ur opinion on the following for a V6?

-Straight Pipes-?
-Y pipe with a glasspack-?


what do you think? any suggestions?what about a custom exhaust? what do you think? I am only 17 so i dont know jack about exhaust systems..

I know i want it to be pretty loud..have a nice rumble at idle..and be able ot hear it when driving...I want it to sound good..and have some popping

anyone???

thx

 

Tuesday i went and had some pipes put on my truck,when i got home i noticed there was no muffler,just a y pipe with dual outlets.it's not the y pipe that came on the truck,just one to make the single exhaust into dual.the next day my mom made me take it back and have a muffler put on(i'm also 17,the truck is in her name so i really had no choice in the matter)the put a glass pack on and it sounds good now.but the straight pipe was alot louder and it backfired(popped) a little when i let off the throttle.mine is a 5.4 v-8 though,but i'm sure it would work on your truck.i've heard that the factory y pipe is very restrictive,so a aftermarket would be good too

 

go to your local exhaut shop and tell them what you want, then ask them to give u a quote. you could prolly get glasspacks to get the sound youre looking for. as far as loosing backpressure on a V6, you would have to ask someone who has tried it to be sure. good luck!

 

On the V6, I'd leave the stock "Y" alone, and add a single Flowmaster 40, single in / dual out, and go out the back with 3 1/2" x 26" tips. If you want a racier sound, go with single out and dump it before the axle. This will also save a lot of dough. You could have a bad@ss sounding V6 for $125 this way. I had the first option on my 99' V6 and everyone thought it was an 8. Honestly. Sounds really nice, especially with those big tips.

That sounds pretty good...I dont want a recey sound..i want a loud sound...Like a redneck exhaust lol i dont want it to be like a sports car.. what if I put cannons on instead of regular tips? also what happens if i put a glasspack before the flowmaster????

I always heard flowmasters sound like crap on a v6, r u being honest?????? ....

This is what my local shop did to my V6 from where the old muffler was back was cut out and they installed a 18 inch Glasspack then Y it out after the glasspack into 2.25 duals and put 12 inch tips on it. Sounds great at a idle very deep, but when reveved up you can tell its a V6. As you stated you wanted it to pop off a bit, well this set up will believe me between every shift it will pop and crackle. If you shift at lower RPM's it doesnt do it. I didnt really like it at first but after hearing a couple of other trucks with V6's with other types of exhausts mine sounds better.
The shop at first just wanted to dual it out with a Y pipe and no muffler but I decided to install the Glasspack on it to quiet it down a bit but if you want it loud then go with no muffler and duals. I would not go with much bigger than 2.25 inch pipe if you plan on putting duals on it because you will lose some back pressure and lowend torque.

 

my truck is an automatic.....
