    If it's the alloytec engine (not SIDI), the cams are constantly variable on both the intake and exhaust sides, and have 60 degs of movement anyways, so putting in a bigger cam is pointless really...
    I just love the way other motorists on the highway think it's an unmarked cop car.........

    And Yes, it is a manual

    and you'll have to buy 4 cams as they are a quad cam engine.
    Big $$. And add to that a tune.

    Why bother, with that extra money spent on the cam, you could have bought a V8!

    You won't. If you're that desperate for an 8 just wait. I'm doing up my ecotec but im not trying to make it sound like an 8.

    its not possible v6's have different timing to a V8 and getting a V6 to sound like an 8 meh why waste the time. if u want an exhaust just to hear some noise when u put your foot down do it i did it to my old car was my fav mod about the car i havent done it to this one yet because i have heard it causes vibrations etc and the car doesnt run as smooth as it should so yeah
