...and done! The install was very simple and straightforward; easy solo DIY job. I drove up on ramps just to have a little extra clearance, but it wasn't necessary. Basic hand tools are all that's required, but a flex-head ratchet and ratcheting wrenches are a bonus (you'll use 13, 15, 17, & 18mm).
Just curious, but what are you running for everything back, like cat, midpipe and muffler sections?...and done! The install was very simple and straightforward; easy solo DIY job.

No additional volume or obnoxious noises at idle or cruise, but a good deep tone under heavy throttle in the upper-RPM band! Very happy with the part. Fit & finish was perfect and slipped right into place.
Pardon my newbness, but what does the loop-delete accomplish or what is the point of it?
The loop delete is just a straight pipe piece that replaces the drivers loop.
Shit, if you lived closer, I have this for sale still:
The point is equal-length exhaust pipes for each engine bank to smooth out and balance the sound. An example of something without equal-length would be the Subaru WRX which gives it that very unique, love it or hate it, rumble.
Gotcha, guess that makes sense. Id have to say, for a V6, it has a nice sound. I think it sounds better than a 3.6L Camaro I had. Its also been the smoothest. I have a bit of a sputter on cold start but unlike all the Chevy's I have owned, it doesnt shimmy all the time while idling lol.
I would agree, for a V6 the Pentastar 3.6 is pretty nice. It's not bad in the Dodges either. I have its cousin, the 3.2L, in my Cherokee Trailhawk and that sounds much nicer than the incredibly rough and course 2.0T.
I had the 3.6l in a Town and Country my wife drove from 2015 to 2021. Had 16k miles when we bought it and 55k Mike’s when we traded it in. It was ok. Had to replace the oil filter housing and a thermostat in it. The housing pissed me off as I changes the oil about a month earlier lol. She drove so little that I may have had 500 miles on it.
