How much would it take to replace the cams on an 00 v6 coupe?? Anyone know any good sites?
cam. as in single. it would take a lot of work, you have to take apart a lot of the engine.

Hmm LT's will add 12 hp, but need a mid pipe? and shortys will add nothing...So since I have to blow money to replace my cracked manifold My best bet is some LT's and an X pipe right

well, MAC is the only place that makes longtubes for the V6, and they only work with their longtube H-pipe. unless you want one custom, go with theirs, and get a stock GT cat-back.

Mac is the current ones that make longtubes. Couple of us are working with a company that will make some stainless steel ones. The Macs will rust with there ceramic coating, it's just as cheap as the headers themselves are. Only way for them not to rust is to get them jet hot coated.

You have to send them off to the company to get it done.

yes. besides, Y-pipes are nasty sounding.
