You will only get that American muscle sound with a V8, the V6 will always sound raspy and buzzy.

Some guys have come close but as for me, I can tell the difference between a V-6 and V-8. Not to much at idle but at WOT it's very noticiable. You tube is your friend here. Check out some sound clips and go from there.

So you think drilling would maybe work? After checking sound without pipes and liking it.. drilling to open more. Flow and get close to matching?

Your best bet is just get a new muffler to get desired tone.

Just mufflers? No need to replace the pipes or anything correct?

That is a matter of opinion. My suggestion is to check out youtube. There are thousands of sound clips will nearly every exhaust set up possible.
