RE: v6 exhaust

Just starting to consider mods to my exhaust system. I have the V6 engine with Automatic. A friend is upgrading his GT and offered me his stock mufflers. Will these perform better than the original mufflers on my V6 ? Can I just replace the single or would I need to convert to dual.

The stock GT muffler sounds way better than the 6, I used to have a GT muffler on mine before I went duals. Took 20 minutes to swap it out and was well worth it. You can just replace the single muffler.

RE: v6 exhaust

Thanks for your comment on the GT muffler. Did you see any change in the V6's performance or was there only a change in the sound. I've hear the V6 engines need more back pressure than the V8 to get maximum horsepower. Installing the GT muffler could be a issue. What was your experience.

A slight improvement in pick up, but it was pretty much the same as before. Sound was improved though.
