Changing Exhaust Tone

I still haven't found the setup I'm looking to achieve. Wondering if it's even possible. Currently I have a Sebring Tuning muffler with no resonator on the midpipe. Everything else is OEM.

I've had test pipes before with a regular midpipe and the Sebring muffler and a muffler delete and those were probably the closest I've gotten to the sound I'm trying to achieve.

Basically I went something that sounds deep throughout all RPM's. It's nice and deep up until 3 - 3.5k but after that it starts getting more high pitched. I know that will happen but it seems all deepness or throatiness, whatever you want to call it, is barely noticeable.

Anyway, does anyone have an idea of what would get me that deeper tone past 3k rpm? I'm going to stick to OEM cats probably and I'm guessing straight piping it all the way back may do the trick but maybe not. The muffler delete actually was quite nice and I'm thinking the problem lies within the muffler, just not sure. I'm wondering if a resonator delete on the midpipe and Y pipe contribute to a higher pitched tone during the higher RPM's. Just my thoughts, not sure if they're true or not.

Not sure if I want to shell out that much. Plus I'm not too sure but the way they are designed looks like they're not all that lowered-car friendly. I could be mistaken but they look like they hang low. Sorta leaning towards keeping OEM cats though just so I don't have to deal with cops hassling me for it.

No, sorry for the confusion. Test pipes with sebring tuning muffler. Before that I had test pipes with OEM muffler. And before that just a muffler delete.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the motor, being that it's a V6. I'm sure that contributes to it, just not sure how much.

i'm not sure if our V6s will ever achieve that deep throaty sound throughout the entire rpm range. i wish our cars could sound like a C63 amg lol

hmmm the deep tone is defintely from the exhaust system...you can listen to some G's with ope headers and hear how that sounds, the exhaust definetly makes the deeper tone that you are in search of...

also i read that you mention that through 3-3.5k RPM that there is the "loss" of the throatiness, with stock exhaust it was the same tone throughout the RPM's but when i installed the test pipes it got louder after that certain RPM range...but when i installed the Top Speed exhaust on top of that (the exhaust is very loud) its throaty until it hits 3.5k then like you have mentioned it gets more "high-pitched"....
just trying to sum things up lolz idk what im getting to...

not sure if this is what youre looking for but this is the b&b exhaust as a reference. Its pretty deep at low revs and raises pitch at higher rpms.

I think u need to look into motordyne harakiri muffler, non resonated mid-pipe, xyz pipe and art pipes. Or go with motordyne shockwave tdx system.
