Alright, now before I start in on my story.. yes I understand I can LS swap my car for equal to or more power than the direction I'm going. But I don't want to. This is what I want.. with that said, I need your guys' help in finding what I need, because apparently nobody makes parts for these cars. I need a piping kit.. mainly exhaust manifolds is what I'm after. Can't seem to find forward facing v6 ones anywhere.. but if there happens to be one out there, it would be awesome to find a complete piping kit for one of these cars.. please camaro forums help me!!!

 

my first stop would be zzp performance

they've been making 3800 stuff for about 10249082903489023 years and if they don't have a manifold that will fit, could probably make you something that will work.

 

There was a company that made some of the stuff but I think it is all discontinued due to low volumes. Most guys make their own parts. It not common to find someone willing to spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hour on a car just so it can be almost as fast as a car with a $500 junk yard 5.3 that was put together in a weekend.

Keep in mind when ever you turbo a stock motor the tune is critical. I little too much timing or a little to lean at any point in the mapping you will grenade the motor. If motor is near stock you need a tuner that know the limits of a stock 3800. Once you know the tuner you are going to use they can give you recommendation of what works. If you are going to do self tune software or use a tuner that does not know 3800's I would suggest a few backup engines.
