You are gonna run no cats? I wonder if that would sound too ricey. But it is all up to the
Owner!

not all V6s sound ricey some can be very nice and euro sounding or even good sounding. But no cats will have a lot of drone depending on mufflers.

Best sounding v6 I ever owned was the vw vr6 in my gti. Great sound, not the least bit ricey.

where are the 4 bolt flanges to the heads, they do not look like they will bolt right up- Those should be for the V8. Only SOLO makes Catted pipes, no uncatted...

Correct. These are not for the V6.

Also, check out the dyno graph that is listed with this...it is clearly V8.

I looked at the dyno #'s and almost had a heart attack with those HP gains. lol

we have annual inspections here in VA so your not getting away with no cats here. not only that, but many area's of the state fall in designated metropolitan areas and they have to have a separate emissions inspection every other year. and if all that wasn't bad enough, some roads have "sniffers" on them that check your exhaust as you drive by
