Any available for the 3.1? Or do they only come with the headers?

What performance/sound differences?

All is located there is an oxy sensor. No biggie to install if ya doing work there.
Gains could be very strong torque
I mean look at what is now there.
Headers is cheaper, tho.
NOT COST BUT
IF ya gonna put out effort, have some real gains!

the manifolds are where some real restrictions come in. the y-pipe is too, but just get all the problems out of the way w/ the pacesetter set. itll probably end up being the same price as having a custom y-pipe made. i picked mine up for $218 delivered from summit. not listed in the catalog so you gotta call em. i dont recall the part number, but it is posted somewhere on here by me and dale. look in the sticky at the top or do a search for it.

i did em myself, took about 3 hrs, i think it took dale around that, maybe less. theyre not hard to do, just gotta manuever them in right to fit passed the engine and bay. id guess a shop will charge 2-3 hrs labor at an average $60-$70/hr rate.

Ask a muffler shop but figure 3 hours at about $50/hr.
Plus in all honesty ya can do this job yourself.
Everything prior to CC does unbolt in one assembly. Just rebuild & stick back up! No welding is really necssary!

They will fit the 3.1L and 3.4L engines in a third generation Camaro or Firebird without problems. However, they are only smog legal for '85-'89 fuel injected 2.8L V6's that do not have AIR. There are no provisions on the headers for the AIR system used on the 2.8L, or the AIR system used on the 3.1L (they were two different setups).
