Has anyone on the board swaped the 00+ manifolds to thier 96 or 97 3.8L. I am thinking of doing it. I want to know how it went and if it is woth it or not I have heard good things so far. Let me know please!

I am planning on doing it. But I am not aware of anyone who has done it yet. The y-pipe, egr, and everything should fit.
But I also am planning on having them ported and I want to try to polish the outside of them. I've seen ls1 manifolds that have been polished, so I know it can be done.Keith - 99 'maro - White M5 - bumpstick and boltons - 13.65 @ 101 N/A

how would you go about porting manifolds and is the worth it.97 CAMARO RS<br />12.9@103mph<br />best 60ft..1.9 ( on street tires)<br /> 1.7 (on gas)<br />turbo supra 12.5@119mph (street tires)<br />new times to come sporting the sp63gtComment

Mike, I would imagine porting the exhaust manifolds would be much like porting a set of heads, just not sure exactly what's done & where (I think that's what you're asking). Turbo 3.8 folks (GN's, Turbo Regals, GNX's, etc.) often times port their stock exhaust manifolds btw.2001 Onyx Black Camaro M5-Totalled<br />2005 Ford F150 XLT 5.4L<br /><br />\"To make peace, prepare for war.\"Comment

I guestimate the 00+ manifolds are worth maybe 2rwhp and .05 in the 1/4.
It's a PITA to swap manifolds. I just can't see it being worth it. If your going to swap manifolds, I'd put a real header on.. but they are expensive.

I agree - I just dont see how the 00+ manifolds are somehow better in flowing exhaust. Tubular they might be but they are manifolds and they are constrictive.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro
