    Set of Pacemaker extractors, into a single 2.5" exhaust drop the rear muffler.

    That's about as good as you will get a V6 sounding. In my opinion, hot dogs etc and any pipes bigger than a single 2.5" just sound gay. But yeah, i don't think you can get V6's sounding great. I used to think you could until i bought a V8.

    Don't make it loud. V6's sound best when they have a nice note to them that isn't loud. If you have a V8 then make it as loud as possible

    I've got pacemaker extractors into a 2 1/2" catback with 2 mufflers. Doesn't drone, but gives a nice bark when you put your foot down.

    I was gonna do the same to mine, i was thinking pacemaker extractors with a high flow cat into a single 2-1/2" redback with mid and rear muffler and people say cut out the rear muffler cus its to quiet. Just wondering tho how does a pacemaker extractor thats 2-1/4" go onto a 2-1/2" cat??

    Extractors and a 2 1/2" system with a front muffler and tail pipe is probably the most common system, as for loudness, it's all personal choice.

    I can do you a good price on the exhaust once you decide what you want.
