Custom Exhaust for 2003GT V6
Hey guys/gals,
I have a 2003 GTV6 and I’m thinking about doing a custom cat back exhaust. I just wanted to get your opinions to help me achieve what I’m looking for.
Well my main concern would be the sound. I am looking for a LOUD/DEEP tone. Being that our Tib GT’s are pimping the V6 I pretty confident I can throw anything on there and it will still not sound like a civic
. Next should I go with 2.25” pipe or 2.5”? I’m still going to stick with single pipe splitting to the duals so keep that in mind.
I was actually thinking of using A’PEXi N1 mufflers in my setup with 2.25” pipe. I just wanted to check with you guys first. I know there are a lot of T-SR members out there that are more knowledgeable than me on this subject. Any information you guys can provide will greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Börg
PS – JUST REMEMBER I’M LOOKING TO GO LOUD. THANKS AGAIN.

I am not very familiar with the setup on the 2003 Tibs. But I think the N1 mufflers with a straight (no resonator) 2.5 inch would do the trick.

Go for the 2.5 inch pipes. Even on a mildly tweaked 2.0L BETA the bigger pipes work better and don't detract much.
Run the 2.5 inch pipes, install a single 18-inch perf-core glasspack, run the Y-split right there after the rear crossbeam and a pair of your favorite flavor straight-through mufflers. I doubt name brand is gonna mean much there.
The glasspack will keep it quiet, keep the tone very low and still allow it to be pretty throaty when you get on the gas. Been there, done this, love it
