I think Hooker used to make a set a long time ago. Probably discontinued by now. If you want more power, there isn't a whole lot you can do with a 2.8 due to the limited amount of parts availible. You could have the y-pipe cut right at the "Y" and a larger pipe, converter and muffler done. Remove the air baffles in the intake, head porting, cam, and chip are about all that you can do.

Looked for about 8 months last year and finally found headers for a 2.8L v-6! The only problem is that they were for an S-10. Anyway, I did talk to a guy here in San Diego that does custom work for race applications only. He kinda laughed when I told him what I wanted and then said he wasn't interested. I talked to him again about a month later and got a yes. It wouldn't be like paying for aftermarket, but it would be done, custom. I never did it. I decided to go with a V8 swap. I think he wanted to trade about $500-600 for doing the work. Unless or until one of the aftermarket manufacturer's makes them custom is the only way I know to get'em. Check around and see if you can get several buyers and try a group deal. I can ask this guy agian and see what he says. Luck to ya.
