Exhausts UK have loads of backbox designs, but I doubt they would get near to a V6 howl. You could ask though. :happy2:

....

I have to say I hate imitations. I shudder to think what exhaust sounds might be programmable in electric or silent cars of the future.

A silent car has no soul!!

I know someone who has a 1947 Hooper Rolls-Royce but it still makes some sound - An ultra deep rumbling - It's alive!

....Milltek have redesigned my backbox and it makes a different sound but still from a turbo'd 4-pot. There's surely a limit to how much you can change resonance from an unchangeable root sound.

APR, Blueflame, Milltek, etc all sound different but all 4-pot turbo sounds.

The V6 creates an off-beat burble that cant be created by a 4-pot.

So no chance im afraid.

It would be totally chavtastic if you did, because ive heard of companies that can fit a speaker system with various engine type sounds. Reminds me of the idiot in an MG ZR that i dusted, and he had fake turbo dump valve sounds lol.  :signLOL:

i remember seeing a tv prog a few years ago and the car on the show was fitted with a speaker inside the car and what else, this made the car something like a 1.4 sound like a v8 but only on the inside of the car.    
i think it would be near impossible to make a 4pot sound like a v6 with an exhaust it would have to be a fake speaker kind of system i imagine

Ha "pimp my ride" they installed a sound system near the cat and had a monitor connected to the engine, they installed it on a people carrier and it was able to imitate GT40s, AM, Lambos etc

This is where you want to look mate but as people have said above its rather chavy, but each to there own and all that!!
