Mr. V

I thought this was only true on my Honda? I'm soooo buying some decals.

They may add horsepower, but they also add drag, so one cancels out the other.

well...i guess i went a little forrest gump on everyone for a sec there...sorry haha. I obviously know about the car since i bought it new. now. when i asked to be told about the car, i should have been a tad more specific:

- What are the best tires?
- Is a cold air intake worth it?
- Should i Invest in an axle back exhaust?
- If so? What brands should I be looking at?
-I have looked at magnaflow, flowmaster, and loudmouth*
- *loudmouth would be pretty darn impractical IMO...

I've got the FRPP sport axle backs on mine, I absolutely love them. Such a nice tone

Loudmouth exhaust is not "impractical". It's awesome. And on your v6 you will need it.

There's tons of discussions already existing on each of those questions that you can find by searching so I'll give you some quick responses:

• The best...for what? Track? Comfort/quiet? Best gas mileage? Best for all-season driving? Best for summer? Best for winter?
• Nope, not unless you're going to tune the car at the same time, which voids your warranty.
• If you want more sound out of your car, yes. Borla and Corsa seem to be the favorites for people concerned with not having drone from their exhaust. There are lots of cheaper options but drone is a deal-breaker for many (me included).

James 5: You were smart enough to find and join this forum, so I think you'll pick up the information you seek pretty quickly. My advice: read the threads which deal with your questions; go way on back into 2011-12, if necessary. Everything you ask about has been discussed here. Learn as much as you can, and make a few posts here and there. Welcome to TMS.

Same. I also have the FRPP axle backs on my V6. Sound amazing and throaty.

They will also be for sale late this year for at least half the price of brand new.

Great advice - well said - and yes, welcome to the forums and congrats on the new car... sorry I didn't say that earlier

I can't believe that nobody has told him the most important information about his car yet, that he got the wrong engine.

Alright guys (and whatever the hell that one dude with the willie nelson + 200 lbs avatar is). so after reading the vast amout of comments, ive realized that my little pony sounds crappy and phony, so i need to address that with the proper parts, two, V6 vs V8 is red sox vs yankees or ketsup vs mustard, and three, black space guys are natural acrobats. so yea, its a lil V6 engine and i have these **** tires on there that are summer only i know...but they hydroplane, causing me to fishtail while turning at 20mph which gets...annoying...to say it politely. So on my grocery list i have(so far):
-New exhaust
-New tires (not a priority, but for the future)
-A new steering wheel (why the hell not)
-A new (or just simply modified) audio system...because this shaker 500 cant handle Eric Clapton...and thats on the calm side of my library.

So i do appreciate your responses, greetings, and feedback and I look forward to making a great car even more awesome possum.

-J

James, IRT your new exhaust, be aware that you can not make a V6 sound like a V8. You can change its sound, but only you will be able to determine whether the change was for the better-- and if you're listening to YooToob videos reproducing (such as it is) the sound of the modified exhaust, be sure you're listening to a Six and not a GT; also be aware that the sound may not really be the same on the computer as it is on your car in your driveway. Choose carefully.
