ok, my 6'er's exhaust setup is dual flows w/ cats still on. i was wanting an opinion would it sound better with an O/R Hpipe or keep the cats.

 

Every v6 I have heard that doesn't have cats has sounded like crap. If you get rid of the downstream cats it might not be so bad. The ones I heard may have only removed the rear ones, IDK. An H/X pipe will do little to nothing for a v6 because it is a even (straight?) firing engine. Meaning only one cylinder combusts at a time. (Someone correct me on this if I am wrong.)

 

yep your right. That is why cross overs don't do much for the V6. I would leave the cats, the V6 just doesn't have the bubble like a V8 unless cammed and will probably make it sound more raspy and ricer like.

 

if you get a midpipe get an H because an X is completely useless

 

X pipes are better than H pipes think back to science class of hi pressure to low pressure it is easier for exhaust to exit the vehical with an X pipe

 

were talking about a V6. An X pipe is the worst idea imaginable for a V6. And if you think I'm crazy just think to yourself why you would put a complete cross over midpipe on an even firing engine. It's not like a V8 where its fired in internals.

 

sooo, would a H-pipe sounds good on a 2001 V6?

 

I vote long tubes.

Which will also eliminate your cats

 

I don't think it will sound bad, but it won't affect performance any.

 

yes an H-pipe sounds good on a v6. and it will help your performance only if you have mods that help your engine flow more.

work from the front to back on these cars.

 

thats what i have h pipe and flows

 

I had an H on mine with flow 40's it sounded good and quiet. I dropped the cats and It sounded like crap. I have headers and 2 cats toward the x pipe with 2.5" dumps and i get more complements on it... IMHO dont get flowmaster sounds like a tin can.

Im switching mine to borla or bassani
