i have just bought a 96 3.8 maro. its got bawlz, but they need to be a bit bigger. i want to get it nice and loud as well as faster but i have no idea how to do any of this. my first order of business is going to be the exhaust. where do i start?

 

dont bother. the loudest you can go with a v6 will still sound like a loud honda. and it will take way too much $$$ to make it as fast as a z28.

 

k....thats not helping me.......go away. anyone with helpful words of advice please post. i am going to make this car fast and loud, its my choice where to spend my money and this is it. i didnt buy the v6 due to a lack of funds, i bought it to see what it could do and prove everyone wrong. i just need help to do it!

 

i can help you with loudness. go to youtube and search for 3.8s with catback exhausts. in my opinion, the best brand is borla. you have to be careful with what brand you choose tho so it wont end up sounding like a 1928 model t lol.

 

lol ok thank you, i will look it up.

 

ok....this sux! i need everyone's help to figure this one out. my camaro just started doing this thisa weekend and is now sidelined.
if i start the car and let it idle it will jump up to like 3500 to 4000 rpm by itself! i dont even touch the gas for it to do this. then one time it did that it drop the rpm and died......ITS AN AUTOMATIC!!!
however if i give it gas it seems to either make a clacking sound or it runs just fine. PLEASE HELP! this car is my daily driver.

Thanx,
3.8

 

and i only bought it about two weeks ago

 

Sounds like the Idle Air Control valve (IAC). Is the Service Engine Soon light lit?

 

yes
