I'm sure it will sound pretty good with aftermarket exhaust. The V8 is the only one with a tuned exhaust note. The V6 is just hushed up because Ford knows 9 out of 10 enthusiast Mustang buyers go for the V8.

That said, the 3.8L V6's found in the 94-04 Mustangs sound like crap. A well-built and reliable engine it was, but holy crap it sounded terrible. I made the mistake of buying exhaust for my '02 V6 (I was 16) and it sounded like a busted up truck. LOL.
