The reason why duals on a V6 w/o H or X sounds like complete rice is that your are effectively listening to two 3 cylinder engines with their own exhust systems.

So as said before while an H or X pipe should not significantly change HP or TQ, they will change the sound as they combine those two 3 cylinder engines' exhaust.

Ya know, thats a really interesting way to look at it.. never thought of it like that before. Good work.

Well, if you can hear both equally, then it wouldn't sound weird because that would be the same as if they were "mixed" in the exhaust...

but for a good example of a car that sounds crappy because of no crossover, go listen to an early Viper w/ Side exhaust.... they sound like total and utter CRAP.
