>>
Depends on the v6.
>>
>>14781117
I think the GTR sounds good
>>
See
>Alfa Romeo v6
>lancia stratos/Dino v6
>Ford capri 2.8
>Honda nsx (not the piggufattu new one)
>>
yes, the Italians did it half a century ago.
>>
look at non 90 degree V6s
all 90s sound like shit
>>
>>14781117
GM 3.6
>>
>>14781117
Jaguar F-Type V6 sounds GLORIOUS.
>>
>I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out

Videos would be helpful here.

This is the best I've heard/found:

So I would say a true dual exhaust system with long tube headers, h pipe and the right muffler.

GTR's exhaust systems usually sound like raspy, popy 350z's with fart cans. I don't know what you guys consider good here.

> thinking that sounds good for a v6 lol
>>
>>14781117

The 3.8 Turbo in a Grand National/GNX sounds bretty good.
>>
>>14781310

>nothing better to offer

That's about as close as a v6 is going to get to sounding like a v8
>>
>>14781133
>tfw I have a Mercury capri from 1974 with that v6

Them true duals and burbling

We are talking about v6's sounding good as v6's not trying to make em sound like v8's.

>>14781375

>>14781387
the fucking squeaky clutch gets me
>>
>>14781376
Something about over square and square engines just sound right.
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt4iNXf_gv0
>>
the sound has more to do with the length and bends of the piping on the exhaust

protip: unequal length headers plus more than one h-pipe will greatly affect sound
>>
A TR6 with a Borla exhaust is awfully sweet.

Chevy 4.3 got you beat for that as well m8.
Nothing like 3/4 of a 350.

http://youtu.be/bvvHiX14lJA

>>14781519

>>
>>14781568
Oi you cheeky cunt next thing you'll be telling me that my 0 degree v6 is called an inline 6
>>
I think my gm 60° sound pretty good.
>>
>Nobody's mentioned Toyota's old 5VZ-FE

It's an old engine nowadays, but it sounds good imo

GM 3.8 and 4.3s both sound really nice, especially at lower RPMs.
>>
>>14781469

That sounds like ass about 1500rpm. The GN's got a way better cam.
>>
>>14781636
those are some of the worst sounding V6s on the planet imo
>>
>>14781229
>>14781117
The v6 Jag doesn't just sound good, its probably one of the best sounding cars out there. Fuck you op.
>>
>>14781117
Sebring's 2.7 sounds great by default. As does a lot of SUV V6s.
>>
V6's are the sexy classy sounds especially with the right exhaust.
https://youtu.be/fg1Tg3MWEPo?t=1m26s

I feel like V8s overcompensated by focusing too much on volume and not enough on clarity.

Hyundai's 3.8l Lambda V6 sounds pretty good.
>>
>>14781636
Can confirm for 3.8. My first car was a Pontiac Grand Prix Gt. I ran the piss out of it and didn't have any problems. The engine seems near indestructible.
>>
>>14781463
what does that have to do with a v6?

Nope

And no it's not a busso engine as that was 60º. Its actually a PRV engine.

And of course, the dino must never go without mention:

The thruth is V6s sound better with induction noise, not exhaust, much like v12's and inline 3's.
>>
VR6s sound divine
>>
>>14782397
yeah but its cheating by using a inline 6 firing order and head.
>>
>>14782177
Hyundai has some pretty underrated engines
>>
>>14781423
Cool-ass car, sounds like an angry mosquito
