aluminum ds is prob 100 bucks, i got one off craigslist.
i have 3.73 on mine with a lsd. headers took me and a friend a really long time, we followed 97rs4life's install guide. and it took 6-7 hours for us.
wow 6-7 hours? looks like ill be having my buddies shop do it if i go along with headers, is pacesetter the only company that makes headers for a 3.8? i heard hooker did too.

yea 6-7 hrs for two guys that didnt know that much lol. i believe pacesetters, and CIA? also longtubes are available now i forgot what the name was force fed fabrications?
If you have the money, Clear Image Automotive's 3.8L headers run ~600 dollars. Excellent headers, those are the ones I have.
truekoa, I was looking at a aluminum DS in Houston but it's too far for me to drive.:( Buying a new one online runs something like 400 dollars. http://www.lmperformance.com/1565/13.html
Or a used one on Hawk's Third Gen http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/ca...luminum-1.aspx

yeah after market ones are extremely expensive. maybe try the local junkyards?
what are the benefits of an aluminum driveshaft? i tried explaining to my best friend that headers are actually beneficial, but my best friend (a mustang driver) thinks they are a complete waste of money. anybody wanna help me out haha?

Aluminum driveshaft.. Less rotational mass with the lighter weight shaft. From what I hear, it's a noticeable difference. Ya know that drivetrain power loss? Well the aluminum driveshaft makes less of a power loss so more can get to the tires.
And.. are you serious about the headers? If you're going to make any power you're going to be increasing airflow into your cylinders. After ignition there will be more exhaust gasses that will need to be evacuated and the smoother and faster they can get out, the better. Which is what aftermarket headers do. The idea is to get the gasses to move fast.
Let him think what he wants. You'll smoke him faster that way.:rock:
Hahah, yeah give him some exhaust manifolds with spirals in it. Tell him it gives him a nice vortex to spin the exhaust creating an ideal equalized back pressure.
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
