Headers/True dual exhaust for a F-Body V6?

Are they existant for a v6 Maro?, I've tried Flowmaster, and of coarse Borla, and get the "no your car is a piece of ****" kinda talk from them, in which I'd love to beat them to a pulp for it, but I continue my search, anyone know of a place that sells TRUE dual exhaust/headers for them? im quite confident that I'd open up an extra 60hp by taking advantage of true dual exaust and headers out of this badboy through a decent vendor that knows what they are doing. I would appreciate any word on this. Thanks

What's the point on a V-6 haha, j/k, but I don't think you'd get a whole pile of HP out of it. Duals are barely worth the effort on a hot 350, i'd just go to a bigger single pipe, it's SO much easier.
IIRC someone on the V6 forum found/coerced a vendor to make V6 F-body headers. I think Redraif would know. PM her.

I have a 3800 in mine ( my username is old) and long tubes with a custom H pipe and borla XR-1 mufflers seem to be the best sounding (and probably flowing) systems I've seen so far. (note: this is not my car)

Sadly, you will NOT get 60 horsepower out of a full exhaust. Simply won't happen, but good luck with your setup. The only way your gonna get a true dua system is custom. Go to fullthrottlev6.com. Theres plenty of V6's out there that eat small blocks for breakfast

Re: Headers/True dual exhaust for a F-Body V6?

On top of all of that, I think going true dual is for purposes of romance only, not performance. I have yet to see a test where dual 2 1/2" systems outperform a properly aligned single 3" system. It's all in the y-transition, and our factory setups are just crap.

That being said, I'm big on romance. I swap Buick/Olds engines in and get the same "you're stupid" remarks that the V6 guys get. If it's what you want just because you want duals, then do it. If you are looking purely for performance I think you will do just as well with the V6 headers, a custom y-pipe with a Flowmaster (or equivalent) transition (usually a two 2 1/2" to single 3" outlet), a high flow cat(or cat delete) and then a good flowing 3" Cat-back system.

I picked up more performance just by making a y-pipe with the flowmaster transition than any other exhaust mod.

Good luck!
