improving my exhaust
#31
omg, you got the magnaflow y exhaust??? biggest waste of money ever dude. i'm sorry, but you should've posted up that u were getting it because any V6 owner would tell you that it is a horrible idea. you gain no power at all with it, and i doubt that even with headers and a new manifold, you will not see any gains.
what you should've done is gotten a V6 dual exhaust adapter and regular GT cat-backs. with that set up the V6 sound very close to a stock GT exhaust, without being raspy.
as far as headers goes, you have stock shortie headers and a fullsized midpipe. the stock headers are not restrictive, so if you are hellbent on doing headers, get longtubes. you will need a new shorty exhaust to fit the long tubes. do yourself a favor and get a catted one. the V6's sound like **** witout catts. to find LT headers for a sixer you may have to go directly to the distributor like magnaflow or pypes.
good luck.

Best possible exhaust for a sixxer would have to be a true dual setup. Two separate 2-2.5" pipes coming from the cats back to the mufflers. I don't think the H pipe really sounds or performs any differently and the air flow isn't hindered any more than the stock Y. When I had my sixxer I had that setup with Flowmaster 40's & 2.5" tips and they sounded pretty damn good IMHO.
