It was shot with a digital camera, so the video quality isn't the greatest. The pipes are 2.5".

I believe those were old Corvette rally wheels from mid 60s. They are way too skinny for my taste. I just wish my car could be a "mean lookin' son bitch"

Heres mine before I wrecked.. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/b...07b11f7114.htm

I believe you have another vid of your car and it shows the startup of when you put the cam in. The cam sounds great

Yeaa the other vid is with a stock-ish exhaust, I didnt have many mods when the cam was first put in.. the video above was after I was done with everything and getting ready to put the Fageol S/C on..

Found this looks to be maybe an 87 2.8L with flowmaster

what kind of noticable hp changes were there

KBcobra

depends on the piping size. bigger you go the more you lose, smaller same way. just have to find the happy middle. you wont feel a difference. trust me. just the 2nd most anoying sound in the world next to hondas. stock system is the best for daily driving sounds good and works fine.

My V6 has a nice ring to it.

DaSkinnyGuy

Nice Thats funny I commented on this video on youtube before you posted this up but very nice good to see someone swaping a bigger V6 in a thirdgen

91Bird305

Used to have a 305. V8 to V6.

i'd have to say i like how when the v6's idle they sound like a v8... other than idle there is aHUGE diff but i mean what can you exspect its a totally diff motor. Nice sound out of a v6 though

91Bird305

Oh yeah, for sure. At idle I honestly can't tell a huge difference between my setup vs. a V8 setup (properly done) and I actually love the way it sounds. But at WOT they sound completly different. But not in a bad way.

KBcobra

they sound horrible at WOT at 4k rpms . i do like the idle i'll admit that, when they're nice and warm they sound even better than a V8 at idle and when you start her up when shes warm its sounds badass

i agree. I'm doing a v8 swap in my camaro but one thing i will miss is the mean idle of the 6. In high school everyone thought i had a v8 in my car,because i rarely got on it. One of the best compliments i recieved was from a guy that drove an 89' bird with a 305. he said, "I wish my idle sounded like that."

91Bird305

I don't think they sound horrible at WOT.

I will get video of my car at WOT this weekend and post it.

The difference with your motor and ours is that its a 3.8. Yours is a 90* motor versus our 60* motor. It does sound nice but both motors sound entirely different IMO.

KBcobra

the 3.8 is the exception to the v6 family, i wouldn't mind having a supercharged one of those. the bad part is they're a pain to put in and not worth it. 1996-up ones btw, the GM and TTA shouldn't be hard at all.

I would love to swap in a series II 3.8 into my car. They have more of an aftermarket than our cars and as fas as I know nobody has swapped in a series II.

DaSkinnyGuy

I have seen someone swap a 3.8L from a 1998-02 V6 F-body but I forget where online I saw this. And yes they have a huge amount of performance upgrades
