Hey all, new Cadillac owner here, very proud, 06' CTS. Anyways, It is pretty much bone stock right now, im not looking to kill my wallet right now, but being a former truck owner, I love the sound of a good exhaust, so I am wondering what is the best exhaust setup for the 3.6, I have looked on you tube, and only find stuff for the CTS V, I Know this wont sound like that. I am looking for sound more than performance really, so I am not looking to go with a full exhaust system, mainly just a nice set of mufflers, and some nice looking tips. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated, how much does all that run price wise? Thanks all.
Im sure there are tons of posts with this info but I do not have a lot of time, im at work, and ive got some pretty anal bosses.....
The most common exhaust mod is to find somebody with a "V" that is doing a CAT back replacement with a Corsa system or similar and buy his old setup from him. Some guys have been getting the old V system for free or just a nominal amount.
Yea, I have seen that on a few posts, theres one a few threads down from here, but for the 3.2, but i also saw posts where they told the guy he would lose power?? Is that true for the 3.6 as well, my understanding is that the 3.6 has the same size tubing all the way back? Thanks for your replies....
Found a V exhaust, now can anyone tell me, will it really kill my performance? I am mainly looking for sound, but I do not want to LOSE performance? Will I notice the difference, or is it very subtle? Thanks for the help
There really needs to be some education on this board. Stock exhaust is restrictive and opening up the exhaust(cts-v style) does nothing more than move the power band. The "off the line" HP may be less, but the top end will more than offset the low end loss. People need to decide where they want the power and go from there. Please correct me if I am wrong.

You may be right. Im no engineer though.
Riddle me this-
check my mod list- ok
now, why the hell is my 1/4 mile time only slightly better than stock (if at all), while my zero to 60 is 6 seconds and stock is 6.7?? WTF??
