Well I agree that there are lots of posts about exhaust, but it does help with making that decision! I have heard a lot about the FRPP exhaust and will agree that it does sound good, but it costs a arm and a leg for an exhaust that you stilll have to do the labor on. I think the Flowmaster exhaust is good and for my money I would put on the Super 44's. Nothing wrong with the series 40's but I think the Super 44's sound better and right now you can buy them cheaper through Flowmaster.

I am going to create a template where I can just cut and paste the reply.

Check this thread for information on the FRPP V6 dual exhaust kit. Good quality, sounds awesome, you will love it.

I appreciate everyone's suggestions, feed back and etc. Also, great ideaon including a link to a video clip of your exhaust for me to hear. ;-)

If anyone else is able to make a sound clip or videoof your exhaust, please do so and I will compare.

Thanks again everyone!

I do have a question, for those of you who stated to go w/ the FRPP set up, is there any HP gain or loss?

I read a couple ofdescriptions on a couple different websites and for the FRPP and it states if you want a deep throatier exhaust sound that looks great. However, it did not mention anything about horse power gain.

Just curious.......

Most dual exhausts on V6's are minimal HP gain, the bst HP gain seems to come from using an x-pipe which the FRPP comes with.

Minimal HP gain....meaning 2-3 HP?

my magnaflow video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW-iFzCYzIY

also after talking to some x pipe owners i dont think gas mileage is lost with an x pipe like i say in the vid.....i will say mine improved with the y .....

marginal at best in the city...but noticeable on the highway..... they are a cat back system...and they are the magnaflow glasspacks....they also make one with mufflers for 6's both sound good as i have heard both....but i think the glasspacks are slightly deeper sounding.

Phunnyguy that was an excellent video! Good info. I have two questions: The H-Pipes catbacks from what I read gives you that muscle car, V8 sound, but you lose torque and mileage. How much significant loss will it be? Also, I love your Magnaflows! I'm planning on getting a TurboHouse turbo, and from what Faszm says, I have to run my original Y-Pipe and do a dual conversion there. But I want to do H-Pipe with Cervinis sideskirt/exhaust. Will that be possible?

The torque loss I will agree with, although it is very minor.

The mileage loss is the opposite though. While I had my Stingers (flow-through style muffs) and H-pipe, I noticed my mileage increased a bit, likely due to there being less back-pressure to restrict the car. Of course it sounds so awesome that you want to walk on it all the time, but if you drive nicely, the H pipe improves gas mileage over the stock Y. I didn't have the H pipe on long enough to come to any conclusive measure of how much mileage you gain, but I would guess probably 1-3 mpg.
