Nothing is going to give you a V8 sound. But if you want an aggressive sound, go with the F-Sport Intake & Exhaust combo. I have this and it sound straight mean.
I think the HKS Hi-Power will be even more aggressive then the F-Sport Exhaust too, so that may be your best option...
But i honestly don't care for the coffee can look of the Hi Power exhaust.

it is simply impossible to make your 2is V6 sound anything like a V8. heck, you can't even make the 2is V6 sound like the VG35/37 from the G35/G37/Z. you simply can't escape the acoustical aftereffects of fluid dynamics - or simply, the laws of physics.
the most you can do is add more "growl" via bolt-on's.

Every suggestion you get in this thread is meaningless.. The ultimate question is what is "V8 sound" to you? All of the combinations being suggested might sound like a V8 to those individuals, but what matters is what YOU think sounds like a V8. Listen to clips online, meet up with people in person that have mods, and make a decision based on the sound YOU like the most. I can promise you that several of us on here have different opinions on "V8 sound". Nonetheless, good luck!

Most of us know exactly what a V8 should sound like, it's not that difficult to identify and is very distinctive. For the money, a Mustang GT sounds real sweet.

I'm biased but Wald is one of the few exhausts that gives you aggressive and "growl" sound
I used to have Tanabe and we all know Tanabe just gives you nice HUMMMMM~~
my friend has Lexus HKS, and that gives you HUMMMMM~ plus little aggressiveness= slight "growl"
my other friend has F-Sport Intake and Exhaust..it gives you nice growl indeed,,I compared it to mine,,and let's just say,,both sounded sexy~
my other friend has JoeZ exhaust,,and that one is also aggressive with nice growl
BOTTOM LINE..it will never be as good as the REAL V8

I know that it won't be 100% v8 sound, currently I have the Tanabe, it give a pretty good sound between 1600-->3500 rpm, but after 3500 rpm or so, I don't here that hummmm anymore.

Bingo....having driven both and heard both at full throttle and idling....even the F-sport equipped car doesn't sound like an IS-F. It does sound GREAT for a V-6 but it doesn't even sound like my 430 with Borlas, let alone an IS-F.
Just be happy with the sound of your V-6 with mods and if you want a car to sound like a V-8, well you got to get a V-8
