True Dual Straight Side Pipes on 2.8L V6 MFI
I installed a side pipe custom exhaust setup on my v6 camaro and it sounds incredible, it has a cam so it's a beautiful chop at idle. One issue i'm running into is I want to do long tube headers on the system but the ones I bought were to long and hit the starter, does anyone know of any headers I can use with a outlet dia of 2.5"?

A V6 that sounds incredible? I gotta hear this. Vid?
I'd think that you'd probably have to make your own headers, for a V6 in a 3rd gen.

Damn. Sounds pretty wicked, at least at idle. Props to you.

Yeah, that impressive. How it sound when its given some gas? Have you driven it? Ive never head a 2.8 sound like that. Well done. Can you modify the headers or use a smaller starter?
