I’ve been searching for some time now for way of increasing the power output from my V6 3.0lit. It seems that the main problem according to articles I’ve read on the net is that although the 3.0lit engine potentially has lots of power to offer, you will never unleash all of it all the time it being choked off by the existing restrictive exhaust manifolds. It seems that the ultimate and most effective modification is to exchange the manifolds for a pair if headers and the Downey ceramic ones seem to be the best. I’ve recently read an article on Yotatech written by a guy who has done the conversion and it seems that it’s a real pig of a job to do and not one that should be attempted by the faint hearted.
Has anyone out there fitted headers and if so was it as bad a job as it seems to be?
I’ve also been told that more power can be got from re-mapping the ECU. Has anybody had this done and did it add any power?
PS I’ve already done the K&N drop in replacement filter thing and that did make a noticeable difference, although not as much as I would have liked.
