My father bought an 87 Z24 brand new. Yea, I "swayed" him towards that as well as the hot red color. Thing kept sounding better as it aged. Especially on a cold start.
I wonder if an H-pipe would make any difference on your 6.2, assuming it has true dual exhaust. Or an X-pipe, but they seem to add a higher pitch to the sound.My 6.2L V8 L9H has been the hardest engine in the world to "keep quiet" - it has two mufflers, and two resonators, long tube headers, but still drones on the highway, it is known in the exhaust industry for being hard to keep quiet.
Along the way I have learned it is more about reducing the higher frequency sounds, which can normally be done with careful design or the resonators I suggested.
One thing I have always wanted to try with my truck is a 1/4 wave resonator pipe (side branch) to see if I can eliminate the drone on my truck.

Maybe it's an apples-to-oranges comparison, but I blew up the muffler trying to start my 1970 Grand Prix one cold morning, and had duals with long glasspacks installed on the stock manifolds. My ears were ringing after 30 minutes on the highway, so we put in an H-pipe. That smoothed the tone right out, even with headers later on.
It sounds like the OP has single exhaust, but until now I've never thought about how an H-pipe would affect a V-6 with duals.
I disagree. I like the sound.Yes it will sound like ass and you may have difficulty having conversations inside the car while driving. But no, just removing the mufflers will not hurt anything except your relationship with the neighbors.
I disagree. I like the sound.
There were a group of people drag racing the last version of the V6 mustang here at PBIR. I loved the sound, and the good ones ran in the 12's.
