The only exhaust I've ever heard that sounds decent on a V6 fbody is the stock ls1 exhaust. I'm sure their is more out there though.

I looked at V6 exhausts for camaros a while back. Most people settle with flowmasters but I think the Borla sounds great for a V6. You can't make it sound like a V8 but it doesn't sound ricey to me. Just don't rev it too high or it starts to sound bad. But that goes for almost any V6 I hear. Anyways check out this video, the guy who posted it has some more videos you can view and he put his setup in his comments I believe. I know Borla is a little more expensive than most, but I think it's worth if for the sound. Plus I think you can adjust it to alter the sound/emissions yourself after installation. Good Luck!
