here is how a V6 should sound...

[ForcedFirebird]

started from scratch.. but kept my old 3" system around just incase..


waiting on a few J bends from Summit to finish it up hopefully by next weekend.

Hells yeah. True duals sounds sooo much better of even fire V6's.

What do you think about supertrapps? I'm seriously considering a pair to get rid of the two large diameter glass packs as well as have room to install cut outs for open exhaust ability. I heard a 300Z yesterday that sounded like it may have been running them but couldn't get in position to confirm it.

I'm still nervous about it.. i heard a stock 3500 with true duals and glasspacks over on the G6 forums.. it sounded like ass... more like a 4cyl, lol



we'll see...

Supertraps if that's what I'm thinking of seem to be restrictive on how they are designed.

the looks nice dave. 3'' wasnt enough?? lets get a drive by video

It was plenty.. the duals are more of an expierement to see how they sound.. i may also make a H pipe and/or an X pipe to see if it makes any difference in tone.

I have some other ideas as well, i may start a thread in performance later on about it...

[johnnymossville]

What size pipes are those Dave? You know that if you put a h-pipe on, it might sound like single exhaust again. I hope that it doesn't "sound like ass" because it would be nice to hear that cam. Heck it might even make my little cam sound good. I figured it out and two 2" mandrel bent pipes will support 300 hp with no problem. Post some vid as soon as you get it done, "ass" or not. LOL That way we'll all know if true duals is a good idea.

[Superdave]

yah, these engines don't need a balance pipe so the H is most likely out..

not sure how the X pipe would react on an even fire engine.

The 3800 also sounds raspy at times, the only true dual v6 f body I heard sounded really good (even though it is a 3800II, lol)...

I have a feeling the 60* will sound even better, especially when the flow is opened up even more, and revving past the trumped 3800

Even during the neutral revs, there was no rasp. It was on a stock motor, and is dual 2.5" with an h-pipe and Borla 3" XR-1 mufflers.

[Superdave]

i fired it up today with just the pipes running to the back.. i think this is going to work out nicely...

i ran out of wire for the welder, hopefully i'll be able to grab a spool and finish up tomorrow. I just need to connect the mufflers and install the tips and heat-wrap the pipes that go under the gas tank.

ok.. hows that for a video?


Yes it was in open loop when i revved it up so no smartass comments about it smoking.

the neatest thing about TD's is that you can diagnose a missfiring plug pretty quickly by compairing the tailpipe flow and sound, i found one of 3 on the back side of the engine wasn't doing so good, i have a new set that i'll be gapping closer and installing this weekend.

[Joseph Upson]

You need some wood to go with all that chopping.

[IsaacHayes]

So do you like the sound better?

[johnnymossville]

SWEET. That was music to my ears. Doesn't sound like ass to me, oh wait it did, it sounds "BAD ASS". LOL Did you use two Aerochambers?
