Default Best V8 Sounding Single Muffler?

I have listened to dozens of sound clips and choosing a muffler seems to be a crap shoot. I have always had V8 cars and would like this car to sound as close to one as possible. I don't think I am going to upgrade much with performance but would like a nice, deep sounding exhaust with little drone...nice sound when on the gas hard but mild on the interstate...

I have considered the mac ss single and the jba as they are very affordable on Ebay.

What are you running in a single application that gives you what I am looking for?

I have heard that the flowmasters sound the closest thing to a V8 would give you. To get as close as possible to a V8 sound you would need to go with cat-back exhaust and an x-pipe.

You will never sound like a V8, or even close to it with a single muffler. Now with true duals, you can get close, but you will never sound like a V8 Mustang.

Guess its not worth the expense to try....thanks for all the input. Worst fear is it sounding like a fart can.

if you go with a dual prochamber set up and some nice flomasters you can get pretty close. or an h pipe would be almost as deep. then an X pipe a little higher pitched. and then a Y pipe is even higher (still not sounding like rice just like a nice 6) you wont get close with a single. but you cant get a v8 sound with a six anyway.

i say if you have a v6 then theres no way you can compair it to a v8
get a sick exhaust system and make it sound deep but make it sound
like a badass v6
thers no need to compair our cars to v8 because they are not in that category

How do you cut the bumper on the V6 when you try to install dual mufflers ?
