V6 Exhaust mod- possible?

^ I'll tell you a secret, so shhh, almost all engines with 2 cylinder banks do not have "true dual" exhaust.

ok. so i have the v6 i took the screens out of my car and i have racing headers. What would my car sound like if i replaced either both exhausts with glass packs or just go to one glass pack. or possibly just removing the mufflers and go for straight piping after the y

Awesome. V6 here as well. Trust me keep the stock piping with your muffler of choice. I learned that the hard way. It's dual exhaust due to a Y-Pipe it's not TRUE DUAL EXHAUST. It comes single from the headers and divided I'm pretty sure you know this. Since it was a V6 Honda said lets just make it different from the 4Cyl and do a dual exhaust like all v6 and above. If you wanna go a bit bigger on the piping 2" 3/4 is just fine. Ima try to get you a video clip of my single exhaust with custom piping so you can get a better idea of how it sounds and all.

Like I said if you're going to go N/A all the way, single exhaust mod is the way to go unless you're going for looks.

I'll would do that but; what exactly would the low-end gain be? Also, what about the mid-range and high-range? my mid-high range is explosive right now with the CAI and without mufflers and i dont want to lose that.

mine has one glasspack replacing the resonator. i have no mufflers on it right now too. The drone at freeway speeds definately goes down over time, and it sounds pretty bad ***. Though if I were you, I'd have one glasspack and two mufflers. thats what I'm doing at least.

To answer your question Andrew. You won't lose much mid-range or high-end. Trust me it's all about torque especially since we dont have any at all lol. Trust me its not as explosive as you think lol. Try putting on some CL-S Cams then you can say explosive for a bit lol. CAI and mufflers isn't such a great mod unless you do the whole 9 yards.

Anyway, if I were you I would do the single exhaust as the way it should be. Low-end you will gain torque. Like I said you will lose a bit of your mid range and high-end tq but that's why you have VTEC for. Trust me it still sounds nice on the road. I got the CAT and resonator, sounds real deep and no "rice" lol.

I might make a video of my J32 with the HS Super dragger axlebacks removed just for kicks, like in my noob days

On acurazine one guy just removed the driver side muffler and put (2) 12mm washers on the bolts to space out the muffler from the catback piping to make a gap so the gases can escape and give it a louder sound.
