6th Gen V6 Camaro Headers?

Do you guys think after market companies will be coming out with some headers for our cars? Still waiting but haven't seen anything yet.

you'll be waiting forever.


edit:

because our car doesn't have external exhaust manifolds to replace with headers.

No point really, Have you even seen the LGX cylinder heads yet? They siamesed the ports into one large port.

I'm sure that downpipes will be available for the Camaro V6 at some point, my contact at Holley/Hooker mentioned the Blackheart series should include the 16+ Camaro V6 but haven't seen anything yet.

Similar to the LFX engine on the previous generation Camaro V6's. The exhaust manifold is integrated into the heads. There's just a single outlet instead of the three that you would normally find. I don't know of any companies are currently developing high flow cats, but that's what the 5th gen guys, myself included did when I had mine. Solo high flow cats were what we used to increase airflow and give it a deeper tone.

This would be pretty nice options to have.

Not sure who you're talking to but I was part of the production of the exhaust for the v6 and all they are going to do for the v6 is axle backs. I finally got around to putting mine on this weekend, very happy. I'll be putting up sound clips and some more pics later.

I have good news and bad news for you guys.. I recently got my catless down pipes installed and I orderd the LFX ones thinking they should fit but the only problem was that the driver side down pipe doesn't clear the steering column at all so the down pipe was cut and welded in a different angle but it still rubs pretty bad.. overall i am very happy with them! VERY LOUD!! Feels like it has more pull also.. I'll post a vid on a new thread so you guys can see how much harder it pulls now and maybe I'll shoot a couple vids with the engine bay and drive by vids!
