folks no matter how hard you try a v6 will never sound like a v8. now you can give the v6 a little more rumble. i would think that yould be wasting money if you bought a v8 exhaust system and tried to put it on a v6, too much fabricating. if you insist on a full exhaust im pretty sure ive seen them built just for the v6's. i would recommend simply replacing the rear factory muffler with a flowmaster 40 series as this gives you a nice rumble without being too loud and doesnt cost much. i personally have done several as well as my z28 and it sounds great kurt

fabricating? Same system design LS1 - V6 year for year, I believe hangar style is a little different that is all, it looked the same as my stock system

Word.
Cut off single-out v6 muffler and slap v8 dual-out muffler in place.
Done.
I would be doing it for looks, not for sound, personally as some previous comments would suggest....

be careful what you put on for an exhaust. it is very easy to put too big of an exhaust on a V-6 and lose too much backpressure. by doing that you will lose a lot of lower end performance and when you step on the gas all you will hear is a loud noise and the car won't be going anywhere.
that is what is the problem with all the imports and their fart can exhausts

You mean well, but...no.
Evidently the myth that backpressure is needed still rears its ugly head. It's not needed at all.
I expect a clogged cat convertor to make a car go nowhere. I would also expect backpressure to do that--as in exhaust is not getting out the pipe(s). By that logic, backpressure is unneccesary.
As for ricers and fart cans...they are obnoxious. That's all.
Camaros with the Y87 package have factory duals. They do fine. Slapping on just a v8 muffler with an extra outlet pipe will do no harm. It's not like the car notices the difference.
