Can a V6 actually sound GOOD.


You know a V6 has two manifolds right?

Yeah, I was just talking about about dual exhaust in general, not necessarily limited to V6s. But good catch though! :icon_thumby:
 
original flowmaster 40 2.5 in dual 2.5 out in front of the rear tire with 3.5 in tips. sounds real good. that and the supercharger whine :)

yep, i wasn't sure if thats what you meant or not lol. I wouldnt mind the newer 4.0 exhaust on an older 4.0 exhaust, you know the dual in single out style exhaust? but take the stocker muffler and put on a dual in dual out muffler to run duals :)
 
The 86-88 2.9l Rangers/BII's had a dual "Y" pipe and a 2 in cat, so swapping to a 2 in/ 2out cat makes a dual exhaust simple. I sent 2 from the cat through a 2 in/ 1 out muffler just the same.

Also, the Nisson GTR or Skyline as it was once called isn't a v6, it is an inline 6.
 
I just built a muffler for my friends 2.9 '91 Ranger. 1/4" oil well casing, about 5 inches long and 9 inches tall. single 2 1/2" in, dual 2 1/4" out. Dual chambered, and one wing-plate baffle. Very strange looking muffler.

He got it put on today, started back from where the cat was deleted with 2 1/2" pipe. The muffler was hung right behind the cab, right under the up-most part of the bed. The 2 1/4" duals side exit under the frame and spring hanger in front of the passenger side wheel side by side. They then turn 60* degrees up, and tilt backwards slightly towards the wheel, and run up the side of the bed about 8-inches.

It sounds completly insane. Its deep as hell, thumps at idle, and does not buzz or become ricey no matter what the RPM. However, rolling up the passenger side window completly eliminates the exhaust note. So its not annoying at all.

I took a shitty cell phone video, I will see if I can get it uploaded.
 
Dual exhausts.... dual mini cats.....Harley Davidson tapered mufflers out the rear....
 
when I owned my v6 S10 I was asked constantly if it had a v8. lopey cam will make all the difference in the sound
oh and yes a V6 can sound like a V8 heck even a 4cyl can

Hahahaahahaha....that thing is awesome!! I want one haha. I would totally bag the crap outta my truck tho. But wow.... I think I might buy one :thefinger:
 
i have cut my cats out, and have straight pipe (2.5") going back to a flowmaster super 40 muffler, its sounds GNARLY. Ill try and get sound clip later.

On a side note (I do not want to start anything or get this shut down or anything) but in Canada its legal to have your cats cut out isn't it?
 
I put a cat back magnaflow dual exhaust on my 2008 ranger.
I think it sounds good and I gained some real power on top end.
A pricey setup, but I like it alot.
