custom 3.0l headers

[3.0l Sleeper]

does anyone make headers for the 3.0l or would anyone be interested in making a custom set of headers for the 3.0l?

well..as far as i know no one does... unless they make some for the 3000 that will fit our cars... as far as makingthem im planning on having my buddy make a set just have to work on the design more and figure out how to set them up for the best performance..... so far as much as i can figure.. they will come off motor towords the trans .. just gotta figure out where to merge them together... probable gonan so a set up like this........

headers towrds trans pipe from the front runs to the back of motor and collect together in a y pipe where stock dp is

There are a couple members in the 3.0 section (Ed kelly and mightymulhern) who could maybe help.

well if you get a working set .. and want to start producing them for some random people..id definatly be in for some SS headers.. as long as the price wasnt too rediculious

lol, custom = $$$ usually

are you planning on going turbo or are you going to keep the 3.0 NA? if you go turbo, you could create a pair of mirror image headers Ying together above the tranny into a turbo flange and route a DP from the turbo through the stock location. other than that, im not sure, im not in the 12v realm anymore

yes but my stock headers are very restrictive and the flow path get interupted along the way.. a nice 3" SS setup gives the stealth 6g72 44 WHP bolt on.. so what could we get with our 6g72 with a bolt on SS set up.. N/A

i will talk to my guy about making some.. well use my accclaim as a lab rat.... everything would be stainless with cnc machinge flangees.. could also work something out that would give you the option of running ss headers n/a or turbo

this doesnt make any sense

No such thing as 3" headers for the 6g72. There is such thing as exhaust and those numbers you are quoting are probably not even close to accurate.

+1.
3" headers? doesnt make sense. even the Hytech headers (claiming 25-45 HP gains) run something in the sub 2" diameter for exhaust runners. a 3" output at the collector seems fine but a 3" router would be useless and harmful to performance id bet.

1.75" is about as big as you'd want to go for headers on that engine. Check out this thread for pictures of a set of headers on a very modded 3.0:
Resurrection of a beast....

With this design you can't have A/C though...there's no room...

I'm definitely talking about the collector size... not the runners.. i would be retarded to think 3" runners would work.. lets get real here.... lol...

and as for the headers i found a site for the gallant 1998+ headers 6g72 and the eclipse 2000 + i dont think theyd fit our engine but they get some ponies for sure... check it out. http://www.rippmods.com/products/pro...id=3&vehcId=15

GOOD GOD... TELL ME WHEN YOU HAVE A WORKING SET. LETS "AIM HIGH WILLIS, AIM HIGH" hp an torque that is

[4cfed]

lol ok.... well have to do some research on styling(for performance) wether they would merge over the trans or front wraps around to the back.... il have to talk to him about this and well have to design something.. he is agod with a welder and makes awsome stainless stuff headers, turbo kits, down pipes ful exhausts.... i wa figuting on a primary tubues the same size as the ports on the heads .. really wouldnt need anything bigger... as far as i can figure wil make them like shortys and run a pipe from the collector on the front to a y pipe at he back to merge the two headers together.......well figure it out

i know for a fact the 2000+ eclipse headers wont work on the 12v heads unless you re-drill the flanges and do other major work, they are made fore a NON-K member designed car. Trust me, i know, i had to do that to fit them in my P-body. the bolt pattern is different on the 24v heads. i think the same goes for the galant, not 100% positive on that though. RIPPMODS does have parts for the 12v but they are Australian based and IMO the parts are a wee bit expensive BEFORE shipping.

[3.0l Sleeper]

i know that the 2000+ headers wont fit without mods.. but i wasnt saying that.. just saying that if that 6g72.. (obviously a different set up) can get the specs listed from putting the long tube headers on it.. what can we get from our 12v 6g72 with a nice set of headers.. possibly shorty headers or possible long tube... who knows.. from what ive researched basically everyone is in the experimental stage.. Forward motion is still in the testing phase.. basically if someone can finish the testing on it.. have a finished product with dyno proven gains.. then shit, i'd buy a set right away.. for my n/a and when i eventually turbo it.. hopefully they'll have a working SS header with a turbo flange. i dont want a big arguement over what fits on what... just plainly talk about gettin some 3.0l 12v 6g72 SS headers MADE.

Don't count on any new 3.0L stuff from FM. They basically have turned their backs on it all and went NEON. They never wanted to do stuff for the 3.0 to begin with...they just did it to get some people to 1) talk about them, 2) make a little money off of the noob 3L guys. I bet they won't even talk to you about 3L stuff without some sort of outrageous down payment....
