not really! but you can get lose by starting with a pair of extractors, into twin 2 & a 1/2 inch cats into twin 2 & 1/2 inch mufflers straight down to a single 3 inch hot dog with balancing cross piece after the mufflers

A big dual exhaust gets you something similar but it's not the same :)

Mine sounds like a V8 at 2400rpm, but that's about the extent of it. There's really nothing like the sound of a 5 litre. Although some V6's sound better than others.

I think the Holden EFI 304 is the best sounding factory V8 that ever exsisted : ) so the poor old V6 has a hard task ahead of it if it wants to sound good

the extractors i got for free thanx to my uncle ( ******* exhaust sales rep) so im not sure on prices but i paid 150 for my 2.5 in system ( not sure on brand ) and i also have a small cannon... soundwise it drowns out my mates gen3

p.s the ebay one has mufflers, the one i have is just exractors,cat,straight through pipe...no mufflers
