Muffler delete, shop can weld a Y-pipe in its place with the original muffler tips. I ran this for about 50,000 miles, cost about $55 for the shop to do. Sounds like a tractor at low RPM and lots of decel. pops. I have a MR muffler (super cheap) that I'll have put on soon, need to bring it down a notch.

Besides, I love the way the original exhaust tips look like and can't stand the "round exhaust tip" versions out there for some reason...makes the rear look lame.
That's great! If you like your exhaust sound, you can keep your exhaust sound...

Personally, I love the deep rumble of a V8. That's impossible to replicate with a 90 degree V6. You can get closer with an inline-6 though.

Hey sound is totally up to perception and taste. I can totally see how to some the standard exhaust isn't their cup of tea. Let us know what you are going to do and go for!

Larger pipes, with no cats and the right muffler help.
But nothing is like a well built v8.

You know it kills me.. My 94 Silverado has a six banger in it. Had it reworked and it's now two into one glass pack back into dual outlets, and that thing sounds just short of being a V-8.

well, the original question has been answered if you can find a muffler shop that can remove the rear cats for under 100 bucks, then there you go.... a different sound. I like those electronic sound devices.... I could fool you all into thinking Rudy built me a V-8......lol
