Mods for Sounds/Getting "Rumble"

So, anyone got any good mods to get more of a "rumble" out of a truck? I've heard of straight piping, and cutting the tailpipe at the muffler but what else is there to do? I got a v6 and I just want it to sound a little meaner. And telling me to get a v8 won't do any good, this is what I have and what I can afford right now. I'm a kind of guy that likes bass and loud sounds

There are a lot of high per V6 marine motors out there most are 4.3 liter, some can sound quite nice when done right. Look for a cam shaft for a hp v6 put that in your motor, a nice sounding muffler and headers then go from there. With the money you spend on those parts you could buy a V8 lol.

You can make it loud, but it will never "rumble". Sounds like you would not be able to "afford" making your V6 rumble, which would mean big cam, headers, etc. I would suggest saving your money and buying a V8. Guting the cat and straight piping it will sound like total a$$. Buy, hey, it's your truck. Although doing those things will not make it "rumble".

4.3L are a great v6. very powerful for what they are. basically a 350 with 2 cylinders chopped off.
as for op's question...put a cherry bomb on there backwards, ditch the cat, and put a turbo on it...will sound great
