How to get loud, deep rumble?

[BobFalfa]

is there a cheap and safe way to give my truck (V6) an awsome, throaty sound? improving performance is not a must

A good aftermarket exhaust should give you the sound you're looking for. Flowmaster and Borla are two good places to start.

Well, don't expect too much for a loud deep rumble like a V8. Flowmasters sound like crap IMO, especially on a V6. Borla way over priced!!! Dynomax are nice, and Magnaflow makes a pretty good sounding muffler!

A good set of headers will do wonders. If they're not available for your engine/chassis combination, go to www.headersbyed.com and you can get all the parts you need to build your own.

Dynomax and Magnaflow are good choices also. If it was me, I'd ditch the V-6 and put a 351 Windsor in.

thanks. does anyone know if Gibson is a good brand?

I had a gibson cat back on my 99 ranger 4x4 with a 3.0L v6. It had a really nice mellow rumble to it, but once you got up above 35/40, you couldnt hear it anymore.

With a v6 you will have trouble eliminating the rasp that a high flow setup will give you. If youuse a resonator or two before the muffler, you will get rid of some of the rasp. IMO intake mods improve sound better than exhaust mods on small engines.

i had a 94 4.0 ranger with a 3.5" dual exhaust with no mufflers. it sounded great IMO. i left the converters on it to muffle it somewhat. i now have a 93 4.0 ranger with only one converter and 3.5" exhaust with one 40 series flowmaster. it sounds better than the 94 because it has a good rumble at all RPMs. the one with no mufflers sounded like it was missing at idle but was louder.
