I have a 2006 base V6 sedan. I would like to get a custom exhaust put on it. I am going to buy the GTP dual cutout valence. I would like to have some suggestions on what all to tell the shop to do because im sure theyll ask. I want a deep sound with pretty decent performance. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

There are plenty of exhaust threads that you can search in the performance forum.
There is a cat back system you can find on here, as well as several people who have gone out on their own and had their systems done. Take some time and read what others have done, and you'll have a pretty good idea where you can go with yours.
Edit:
Or....you can tell them you want 2 1/2" aluminized back from the y pipe, with a smaller resonator, going into a single in dual out Magnaflow with 4" stainless steel tips.G6P member 340

I will be removing the resonator, installing a highflow cat inlieu of the OEM cat and installing a Magnaflow performance muffler. Pipe between the cat and the muffler will be either 2.25" or 2.5" and the tail pipes will be 2.5"
You should be able to find other suggestions, opinions in this threadhttp://www.g6performance.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3188 Also if you do a search you should be able to find items numbers for the fascia and prolly the type of mufflers used. And i know you should find alot more opinions on exhaust. Enjoy! :smoke:Hurricanes are like women : when they come, they're wet and wild, but when they leave they take your house and car.

Best bet is to use one of the thread already going and search from there...
Those should answer your general questions...
Once you have a specific question post that...

As long as you replace the system with quality parts, it should last for the life of the car. Shoddy workmanship and cheap parts, will cause problems that the warranty won't cover.2008 Mazda Mazdaspeed3 GT

Im not sure I would ever take a car in for exhaust warranty work? If something is bad and i can replace it with a good aftermarket piece, I would. Specially if upgrading would benefit performance wise. And being that my car is only a year or so old and im already ripping the exhaust off, i think my previous statements are already known I think the only thing i might consider (exhaust wise) taking in for replacement under warranty would be the 02 sensors, only cause they are so damn expensive (referring to my truck 02s) and even then with a cat-back sys they cant say crap w/exception to the one in the new highflow cat. But even then (by law)they have to prove it caused the damage to the sensor. Plus i am not sure of the emission laws where you live, but here in Pa your 02 sensors must be reading correctly (no check engine light on or codes thrown) to get your vehicle inspected. That is why i did not totally remove the cat. Highflow with 02sensor holeHurricanes are like women : when they come, they're wet and wild, but when they leave they take your house and car.

alright i just got back from meineke. this is what they told me. from what i can tell it is basically the same thing kman did. they were taking off the resonator, adding 2.5" piping into a y bend pipe, using two once chamber flowmasters into two 3 inch tail pipes. with labor and tax the estimate came out to $815.46 which is a ton of money. am i better off going with the gtr system? or is meineke's quote a good deal?
