Re: V6 with Cut-outs?

I have a pair of headers made by pacesetter on my 2.8. I dont see why these wouldn't work on your 3.1..... They even have a place to hook up your egr valve

Re: V6 with Cut-outs?

just a waste of time and money, and I don't think it would sound that great either.

could you tell a difference in horsepower gain and sound with the headers? and do you have a cut-out?

Re: V6 with Cut-outs?

I have a cutout on my car, and its to loud for the streets and it sounds really bad. But for horsepower wise I have a 3 inch catback and with the cutout closed I ran a 12.67 and with it open I ran a 12.03 and that was with big tranny problems. In higher horsepower situations it will make a difference in horsepower, but for a V6 it won't make much of a difference.

Re: V6 with Cut-outs?

when i had just put my headers on, i ran them open for like a week, then just had a y-pipe only and it seemed like it lost a little bit of torque, but pulled pretty good on top end, then when i finished the exhaust up, i "felt" some of that lower end torque return. its all about tuning the exhaust
