Can I upgrade my stock 3.8L exhaust to a stock GT or Corba setup? Without any modifications?

You will need to modify your current y-pipe setup to accept 2 pipes. Most people normally do this by cutting the y pipe off and welding in pipes to connect to a normal catback.

I would look around your local shops and get some estimates. You may find that you could get an entire new exhaust for the price if not cheaper than all the different things you are going to need to get one from a catalog.

this was more useful years ago than now, but sometimes shops just trash old exhaust from gts who upgraded. see if you can find a shop that would be willing to let you have it, and you may score new (to you) exhaust for labor.

I can't answer that, as I don't know what sound you're looking for.
I can tell you that I'm satisfied with my sound from stock GT takeoffs on my 99 v6. But I'm not trying to bring down walls with my exhaust. I just wanted a little deeper sound.

Vids of sequential tails and exhaust
It's all personal preference... here's a vid from a long time ago right after I installed the exhaust and sequential taillights. It's a stock v6 with nothing done to it except the addition of gt takeoff exhaust at that point.

Yeah, they're straight up exhaust right off of a stock GT.
