I'd be interested to know, I like the deep roar/rumble the v8's give off.. Have heard some v6's that sound as throaty as a v8. Id be one to attempt to get rid of the raspy tone. Headers may help, maybe a whole new exhaust system. But for the 3.7L I doubt theres much that can be done.

If you goto AM, look at the MAC Pro box in the H-Pipe section of the page. I had JBA ceramic headers, High flow Cats, the MAC PRO, and axil back Magna Flows. The MAC Pro is an H-Pipe set-up with a steel box the size of a phone book where the H would be.
No rasp, makes the V6 sound like a V8. I believe they are $299. I would have kept that V6 but it got hit.

It sounds like you have an X Pipe. Get rid of that and install an H pipe and some 24 inch glass pacs directly under the cabin. I had the same problem and the H pipe and glass pacs completely cured it. Also, if you have the dreaded "drone" this setup will get rid of that too!

Thanks for your post, Dan. Glad to know there's nothing that can be done, now my mind will be put at ease. I swapped cars with a buddy last night and followed my Mustang in his Camaro SS for an hour. The Mustang sounded much more aggressive outside the car than what I typically hear in the cabin. Overall, I'm thrilled with the sound and the volume. I wouldn't mind the down low torque of the SS, but I'd choose my car any day.
Never even think about
giving up your "MADE in the USA" mustang for a FOREIGN made Camaro..

I made my V6 sound (more) like a V8 with the MAC Pro Chambers $350ish at AM. They put a steel box where the H in the H-Pipe is, it's about the size of a phone book. Gives your V6 a low rumble, no rasp.
