So, with your help I was able to find an intake for my G6 GTP. It fits like a glove and sounds awesome. I also had the exhaust system replaced about 3 days after i bought the car. Well only from the flex pipe back. I originally just had a Flowmaster muffler put on, then 2 days later I decided the resonator was to big and restrictive. I had it taken off and had a straight pipe put on. Of course it sounded extremely raspy. So Hugh at Awesome Muffler in Kingsland, Ga suggested a turbo tube. He took the straight pipe back off and installed the turbo tube. It sounds amazing. Everyone says it sounds good but doesnt go right with the car. I say nay! I definitely wasnt going for the ricer sound. The car idles like a muscle car just not as loud. I have definitely gotten more power and acceleration from all of this. Anyone else with a G6 coupe get compliments everyday? The other day a dude in a Stingray said he liked my car. I gotta say it feels good. Next thing I wanna do is lower the car, since they do sit up a little high and you can feel the body roll. Anyone have any good leads on Eibach lowering springs?

Thats awesome! Yes we need to see some pics!!! I understand the feeling of those compliments! My exhaust at idle sounds like its all cammed up and ready to rip by some ricers! Gotta love that 3.9!

I posted a video/soundclip of my exhaust. Its titled 06 G6 GTP aftermarket exhaust, and the username is JDBAADTE. You might have better luck if you look under my username. Enjoy!:bravo:

I will have to get a sound clip of my exhaust. Any pics underneath? What happened to your P in GTP or was that a GT?

If I can make my car sound like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RofEbwkKdVU You bet I'd do it. and this is only a 3.5.

I also agree to loud. I might go with a magnaflow muffler, but what do you guys suggest for the resonator leave it or put something in its place????

Like I noted on youtube, the camera distorts the sound for some reason and amplifies it and makes it all raspy, when its actually deeper like a mustang. Trust me, it sounds much better in person. Everyone who has heard it in person says it sounds good. Yes Cal, my GT badge is incorrect. Where can I find a GTP badge? Hey lcplmouw, I think you should replace the resonator with something else. After replacing my stock muffler and resonator with something more high flow, it performs much better. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I would guess on gmpartsdirect.com you would be able to locate one. I'm sure it sounds better in person, but still a deep sounding roar. I'ld like to see some pics of the exhaust. Check mine out in the gallery. I got it on You Tube now too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNcrbTnz9R0

That sux, I always like looking at exhaust pics to see what other people are doing to their G6! Especially the custom ones! And GMpartsdirect does have the GTP namebadge for a little under $16, incase you want to do something about your GT badging.
