desent headers for a 3.8firebird

i have 400$ credit with a store and i cant figure out what to get so i was thinking about getting some hedders for my v6 car mostly because of my misfire. whats the best for around that much. and what kind long tube shorty or what i know nothing about v6 preformance

If you have a misfire adding performance parts won't fix it.

Get that fixed first.

Alot of people like to go with Pacesetter Shorty Headers from http://www.pacesetterexhaust.com/ for our car. You can get the regular painted ones for $200 plus shipping, or get the ceramic-coated ones for $300 plus shipping.

Most people get those, and some people get RKSport headers, but I don't know where to find a pair.

Currently, there aren't any longtubes made for the 3.8, but they're being worked on right now, but i'm guessing they're going to cost alot more than $400, since they're still in development.

Honestly, i'd head over to fullthrottlev6.com and check with those guys as to what you can find, because I know there are a couple options for headers for our 3.8's.

Another vote to fix the misfire before spending any money on performance....

im sorry i miswrote that thread i dont have a misfire im gettting headers so changing out plugs will be easier because i have a 75 shot of n2o and i change plugs othen. i had a missfire earlier on but i changed out my wires.so yeah thanks

if i was to buy some pacesetter headers, what else would i need to install them on my car? and how much would it cost (roughly) to have some one install them for me?

i bought the headers anyway and i have a guy thats going to install the headers and a 3inch pipe from the cat to the muffler and some stainless z28 tips for 460.00bucks so far thats a good deal..

I was wondering whats beeter...i have a high flow magnaflow cat would it be better to leave it or take it off

You can get the regular painted ones for $200 plus shipping, or get the ceramic-coated ones for $300 plus shipping.


on the Pacesetter site I see $349 and $569 for the coated ones..... a little bit different to $200 / $300 :eek:

i have pacesetter headers on my car and they made a huge difference. Actually theres a kid that threw a pair of pacesetters on his completly stock 98 3.8 a4 and it added 15 rwhp! which is pretty darn good for still having the stock intake and exhaust.

i got some coated ones shipped for 400 from andysautosport.com-I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THEM THEY SUCK!!!!!

^^ you are the first person i have ever seen that had something bad to say about the pacesetters....thread starter dont take that comment to heart...come over to camarov6.com and read reviews....nothing but good things to say about the pacesetters

i paid 180 for mine brand spankin new....by far the best investment (performance wise besides the turbo) that i did.....made a noticable difference in power, and acceleration

hey Kid where did you get your headers!!?

i bought them brand new off a kid that bought them for 240 but decided not to put them on his car cause of college....so i got a great deal..never were installed
