Default Sweet-Thunder on a v6?

I know the sweet-thunder chambered mufflers sound great on the ls1, but has anyone tried having them on the v6?

I guess they are cheap enough, wont be much of a loss if they sound like crap, just have to resell them here. So what do you guys think, I got two set up ideas. First off to reduce the saw sound, install two of them in series before the y pipe and just use straight pipes to the tips. Second idea is just put one on each side of the ypipe at the rear just before the tips...

A straight-through exhaust on a V6 will probably NOT--sound that good really.

Good rule of thumb on the v6 is the more free flowing the more raspy sounding it'll be. I had tried a take-off ss and flowmaster and they both sound pretty bad (even though that's subjective to some). Then I tried the TSP rumbler which is by far the greatest sounding thing on the v6 i tried but it gets pretty loud for long drives so I switched to hooker catback with a full 3'' system and i think its great - rumbles great but isn't obnoxious for DD and doesn't have that big rasp when you let off the gas or shift gears. I think that's about as good as it gets for a v6.

Thats exactly what I am looking for. Something with a little throtier sound. Could care less about performance. But to my understandung, the TP muffler is a resonator/bullet style just like the sweet thunder mufflers...

Make up a True dual exhaust for it with sweet thunders. that would sound different and throaty for sure.
