if u take the muffler out it it will be loud and clappy/harsh. whack a hotdog muffler in its place it should tone down the harshness but still be pretty loud. u dont want it sounding like the ghetto pov pack pieces of **** getting around now do u? my mate did it with his au falcon it sounded like ****

A Hotdog will make it louder & especially at the rear make it DRONE like a mother complaining to a child...

Is your exhaust single or dual muffler?

Put a hotdog in, in place of the centre muffler, & you can either straight pipe the rear, or put a muffler on it. up to you really

Both my V6 & V8 have a similar setup, hotdog in middle = less drone.

if you cut out the muffler on that setup then it would be a nearly straight exhaust. that's far too loud for normal road use, draws way too much attention even if it sounds good.

a cannon will barely muffle it and will increase the drone, you will need a decent cannon to within the legal limit. well at least in vic (limit is 90db).

My advice is to leave it like it is, quiet.

Loud exhuasts on a V6 sound shithouse and say to the world that you wanted a V8 but couldn't afford it and settled for a V6.

Yep freeway driving sucks with a straight thru....maybe get a electric valve muffler so you can bypass exhaust straight out to impress the birds, and closed through the muffler when freeway driving....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I hear them all the time round my area. if u dont have at least one muffler on ur exhaust the piggers WILLpull u over then bend u over when they test it. plus it will sound tryhardish when u give it some stick. probly sound good at idle. check out a local exhaust shop for a price on a hotdog tho. your exhaust should sound alright anyway dude u got extractors+2.5 inch.
