The gt axle backs are the same as the v6 ones just different tips. The gxp ones are different tho pretty sure there is YouTube videos out there with gxp axle backs on a v6
I was looking for some input on this same thing. Does anyone currently have the stock GT axel backs on the V6? How about with a CAI and the GT axel backs? How does it sound and effect your performance? I'm not looking to do much performance wise with the V6, just kicking around the idea of getting the quad tips and letting it breath a little better.
That would be much appreciated. I've got a set lined up as well from another member. I'm assuming there won't be much difference in the sound, but let me know what you think when you're done. I'll hold off on my purchase until I hear from you. Pics or a video would be great if you get a chance. Thanks!
Mine would sound a little different if your running stock piping and mid muffler and resonators this exhaust is 2.5 in and solo mid pipe to jpipes which is no mufflers axlebacks are different

solo performance gt/gxp exhaust on v6
Here is the thread I have headers now so is a bit different now but this is just catback stock manifolds shoukd help you decide
I put the GT mufflers on tonight at my friends dealership (free lift). I have to say the on the ride home I could not tell a difference in sound. They might be a little louder under full throttle, but otherwise I'd say they are the same.
Now the rear of the car just looks right. Since the day I bought the car I hated the single pipes in wide cut out's in the diffuser.
That's my line of thinking as well, the opening is made for the dual pipes.
So the swap was fairly easy I assume? Any suggestions?
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on mine today. Thanks.
I don't need any clips to give you the answer...they probably sound like, NOTHING - if they can choke the sound from a 6.0 litre V8 what do you think they'll do for your V6?
Fact. I had the stock cans with my ARH setup and the valve train noise up front was louder than the exhaust from the rear. These mufflers kill almost any sound.
VERY easy swap out. My car only has 21K and the gaskets did not come apart when I took the old ones off. A little bit of Permatex ultra gasket sealer and reused them. Took about 1/2 hour total.
