Straight 6 Exhaust

Let's face it; these inline 6 bangers don't sound good without split headers, true duals that aren't too big, maybe two inches max and Smitty-type mufflers. Flowmaster 40 series might be okay, but then again, you might not like the sound.
Anything ran as a single will sound like a John Deere.
Just my $0.02 USD worth.

I would recommend one of our 50 Series Delta Flow mufflers for your application. The 50 Series Delta Flow muffler will produce a mellow, low tone at idle and under normal driving conditions, but sound mean at WOT. This muffler will calm down the rasp that most people associate with the tone of a 6 cylinder. Let me know if you have any questions.

The only way to get a decent tone out of a I6 is to split the exhaust. That means a set of headers (I6 split headers) that gives two exhaust paths. The exhaust pipe needs to be around 2 inches for each path (150 CI per pipe) and the muffler restriction will dictate the loudness. Flowmaster 40's or 50's will work, along with Smitty type mufflers.
Even with a split exhaust, it will never sound mean. Refined, yes but not mean.
Single exhaust, I don't care who's muffler you use, still sounds like a tractor.
Just my $0.02 USD. YMMV.
