Pace Setter makes headers for the Camaro v6. However, don't expect any great increase in power, as this engine has a pretty good cast iron sytem already. You may want to try a cold air intake & gget more bang for your $$ http://www.pacesetterexhaust.com/headers_detail.htm

my suggestion take the $200-$300 you would spend on the headers, put it in a bank account and start saving for a real engine.

i dont like the "why bother, its a V6"...some people cannot afford the insurance or fuel increase with a V8...ive seen some domestic V6 cars that will hand V8s their bottoms!

The only real difference between the v8 and the v6 is displacement. HP per CU inch is about the same. To me, the satisfaction of being a hot rodder is the ability to get the most out of any engine type and surprising others with the results. Let's face it, we can't all go around driving fuel dragsters, so we make the best with what we got at the moment.
