straight pipes off the collector? as far as catbacks it doesnt get much louder then LM. a v6 is never gonna sound all that loud to begin with though. get dual cutouts in place of the cats if you want loud.

Long Tube headers, Get rid of the cats, and Put cut-outs on.... It'll be as loud as it can be. If you want it louder..... Best advice: Sell it and buy a v8.

I had a 1998 5-speed Firebird with the same no muffler exhaust as my car and I would have to say that it was just as loud but not sound near as nice. It could be that the V6 had only 1 catalytic converter though.

at one point in time when i had my '97 v6 camaro, i cut the muffler off for kicks. boy was it awful. take the loudmouth off of it and put an ss muffler on it - those sound the best on the 3.8 liters. anything else sounds god-awful. my opinion. i owned one for years and was around them for years also.

IMO v6's with a y-pipe into a a single in dual out style muffler sounds good. straight duals on a v6 just dont have that loud rumble..
