I know there are some v6'ers running the WS6 exhaust, so the SS should work too. The hard part is getting the two systems to hook up, since they are different diameters. A guy I know couldnt find a reducer to fit the outer diameter, so he found like a 2.25 - 2.75 reducer that fit inside the pipes and just clamped the hell out of it.

Yeah you'll need a reducer but he should feel a gain of power... While some folks dog the 3.8 V6 it makes more power than the smog of the V8's from the 70's and 80's...

With an attitude like that I'm surprised anyone offered up some help. Pssst...check out that big logo on top of your screen. See it? The one that says LS1Tech.com, not V6Camaro.com. Not many of use here have experience with V6 Camaros.
