v6 exhaust?

i was looking at a 92 firebird for sale. the guy at the home said it was an 8 cylinder but the lady on the phone told me it was a 6. i dont know when im gonna be able to go up to actually look at it, but my bro saw it and said it had 2 pipes in the back. he couldent remember if the 2 pipes were only on 8 cylinders or not. so did 6 cylinders come with 2 pipes? if its a 6 then i dont really want it but if its an 8 then i deffintly do. thanks

you can change from 1 to 2 so it has absolutly nothing to do with what motor is in there.

Sure thing...pop the hood...if you can fit a small person between the radiator and engine...it's not an 8

dont bad talk a 3.1

you can ask Dave about the potencial of a 3.1 and honestly a Turbo 3.1L is 1000x better than a 5.0 or a 5.7

reading the tech section, it said he v6 only put out 140 hp while the v8s all put out over 200. i understand that the v6 would be lighter because of size, but what would u have to do to make a v6 as fast as a v8, or close?

Your best bet to get a 6 as fast as an 8 or so would be to turbo it, or bottle it.
