I disagree about 3.8's sounding bad. That guy just had a crappy exhaust setup. Sounded like what Loudmouths or Magnapacks would do to a V-6, haha. But yeah, that one doesnt sound too good.

There is a guy with a Supercoupe Thunderbird (SC'd 3.8) and it honestly sounds better than most newer import 6 cylinders, and quite a few import and domestic 8 cylinders I have heard.

Its all about the exhaust setup. But that Tunderbird sound a-fricken-mazing...

In the comments for the video the guy says it has heads/cams/intake. It sounds pretty good idling.

For its potential to price ratio. I could have either bought a 2000+ V6 or a 96-98 or so GT- Wasn't that hard of a decision mister condisending w/ 11 posts

That sounds pathetic. The second car video sounds great at idle, but again turns to crap when he revs it.

That one just sounds bad.

I've heard some 3.8's that i honestly thought were V8's until the owner popped the hood.

I've even heard a new 05 4.0L with exhaust that sounded like an 8

With the right setup, the V6 Mustang can sound good. Most people however just go to the muffler shop and say "Give me dual exhaust!"

That first one sounds AWFUL!.. the 2nd one isn't too bad at all at idle, but the revs ruin it

I have heard some V6's that sounded like V8's and I was pretty surprised

v6's sound like complete ****... theres noway to make them sound good in my book. Either they sound like a stock v6 which is good compared to aftermarket exhaust that makes them sound like hondas. Yes, i know theres acouple out there that people say sound good, but they sound like ****. I would rather have a 96-98 stock GT than any v6 stang. ..

I disagree. My 94 V6 with dual Flowmasters sounds pretty good. Yes, it doesn't sound anything like the Bullitt, but it sounds good.

I like my big ass inline-6 in my Jeep with no cat and a Flowmaster.

Probaly my favorite sounding 6 aside from the 350z/G35, Supra, and Skyline.


But I know someone with a 2005 V-6 Mustang with a Borla axl back, and it sounds awesome for a 6 cylinder.
