hey guys, i did a search on here and cant really find what im after.
the sound i want out of an exhaust is as close to a v8 sound as i can get, i love loud, and that bubbling sound you get after taking your foot off the gas, but also want it to be legal, what am im going to need to get this??

what he said, or you can just get a 2.5inch cat back with no resnator and some extractors, it will sound good but wont have the sound of a V8 cause its a V6....

You won't get close to it unless you're misfiring.
It's a 6, not an 8.
You'll be able to reproduce the cackling and burbling sound though if you can get slight amounts of fuel into the exhaust (Raw)... That's the cackling and burbling. Most of your fuel/air mixture is burnt, a little bit isn't. That little bit is what gives the burble and cackle.
If you can get an exhaust that amplifies all of the engine sound (well, not so amplify, but not muffle as much), you'll hear that sound alot better.

if you get a good cam grind you'll get a bit of that crackle...as MBS206 said..its from un-combusted fuel....which flows straight out the exhaust valve from an overlap in the valve openings (air and fuel valve open at same time as exhaust valve)
any v6 cars you see (hear) that have that really v8 sounding crackle and burble will have a bigger cam (or a really rich tune- or both,lol)

My mate has a twin cat system right thru the car with pacemaker headers. When he revs say to 5k and backs off it gets some backfiring which sounds awesome. he paid $1200 for the system took 4 hours cause they accidently managed to break the heater tap.
