How do I get a more open sounding exhaust?

So I really like the sound of my exhaust, but I would like a more open sounding exhaust like the older muscle cars do or for a modern example the ZL1. Now I know I only have a V6 but I know there could be a possibility that I can find a similar sound.

It's very hard to get that kind of exhaust note from a V6 (if at all).

You need to upgrade to a V8 to get what you want...really.
Would there be a chance at all at finding some sort of combination of muffler, tips etc. to open it up a little more?
In the V6 section is a long thread with exhaust sound clips and videos. Lots of options in there, a lot of V6 owners are happy with the "BigFuzz" setup. ;)

I went through 3 different setups on mine, and finished up with the full Magnaflow system. Trying different setups gets expensive.
It has everything to do with the exhaust pulses that a V6 creates vs. those of a V8. As DDaddy and Ron mentioned it's pretty much impossible to recreate. In addition to our exhaust threads here, there are also a clips few on youtube that you can listen to if you search for "Charger SE exhaust". You'll notice that the 3.5 created a much better exhaust note than our latest generation 3.6. Since you have the 3.5, you should be in luck.

Good luck!
I asked this question a few months ago, because I wanted a big exhaust sound, but then I learned you couldn't do it with a v6 without it maybe sounding like a tuna boat.

Thus.. I bought a v8, I like the big sound so I had to upgrade.
...and here I was wondering how to quieten the exhaust sound at idle..sounds a bit drone-ish if that makes any sense..

I can't really provide inpute on your question but I would like to know if my 2.7 would sound similar to this with the same exhaust set-up.....I just don't want it to sound like one of those fart cans cherry bomb sounding things.

Why is the note better on the 3.5 Vs the 3.6

Idk about what others would say, but I would do a single in dual out by using a blastin bobs kit. If you were to go the route I did and did dual mufflers and dual out it would sound to throaty and not deep.

Also you could go with a single in single out flowmaster muffler and use a blastin bobs kit for the tips
you just can't. I think your best bet is to get a cut out or some flows....but you still can't get the same sound.
