I just bought the JBA axleback for my car. It was $179 W/ free shipping (I think).
I like it a lot. It has a nice rumble at idle. Before it was hard to tell if the car was running at idle, but now it has a noticble rumble. It does not sound like a V-8, but I don't think anything will sound like a V-8 except a V-8. It sounds a little high pitched at high revs, but I like it. (I think all mufflers are going to sound high pitched at high revs on our V-6's). It does not sound like a Ricer bumblebee. I think it has a nice growl when driving around town.

It also looks nice. Has JBA engraved on the top edge of the tip. It's not too big. I like it enough that I'm going to order the JBA headers, even though they cost more than the MAC headers. I think I found them for $439 w/free shipping. I also ordered the JBA 9mm wires for about $50 when I got the exhaust.

After that the only performance mod I'll think about is a set of 4.10's.

hey fyi, my GT take-off mufflers never come close to sounding "high-pitched" or ricey on my V6. I ran with a single GT take-off first and now running with duals and both ways it never got high-pitched at all.

however, they are not very loud and you won't hear much rumbling at startup and idle. they do sound semi-deep and pretty sweet at cruising speeds and have a very nice growl when accelerating.

I'll be posting a detailed description of my exhaust mod and wheel mod this week.

I stand corrected. In my defense though I haven't heard a GT take-off on a V-6 yet. I would love to hear one.


Also I know I have heard a MAC V-6 sound clip & I thought it was on the MAC website. I just checked their site & I cannot find any links to any sound clips. If I find a sound clip on another site I'll post a link here.

I just called & ordered a set.
performancecenter.com
1-800-883-6437
They were on sale for $ 424.99 (with shippping they were $447.98).
The free shipping offer just ended but with the sale price it still works out to the same price.
I'll post my review of them soon.

By the way, the website does not show the lower sale price, so you should call them to get the better price.

Here's a single GT take-off on my V6. The only other mod so far is a K&N drop-in.
