    Default V6 3 inch exhaust

    Ive got a v6 with a 2.5inch catback with no rear muffler.
    Im thinking about changing it to a 3inch even though im getting my dads vy gen3 calais next year i just want something new to play around with.
    How does a v6 with a 3inch sound? anyone got a 3inch on their v6 with no rear muffler or even with one?

    the v6 comes with 2 1/4 inch standard so 2 1/2 is perfect for it.
    get extractors like the others say for a deeper rumble.

    a v6 will never sound like a v8. its just the nature of the beast.
