I'm just looking for some opinions on parts from some of you guys. Not many reviews out there on the WWW.
First and foremost: Exhaust. Mainly mufflers. What is your opinion on the best sound for a V6? There are so many aftermarket, free flowing performance mufflers to go along with your performance exhaust, but I want to know which one sounds the best.
I know that V6's sound waaaay different than the V8 cars. I'm looking for a muffler that will give me a more agressive sound than stock, but not make my car sound like a riced out honda when WOT. I've heard Flowmaster is crap, sound too much like an import. Listened to some sound clips of a car with Aerochambers, still a little too ricey for me.
From what I've kinda heard is people really like the dynomax's and magnaflow's. What about Pypes? Has anyone used thos on their car? Their mufflers are stainless, which is something I'd prefer, and not too expensive. But I can't find a sound clip with them on a V6. So what's the opinion?
Next: TA Performance Parts.
First, has anyone used a set of their aluminum heads? What kind of performance gains did you experience with these if you did?
Also, they are remaking the Kenne-Bell #1 intake, but under the TA name. It's a single plane rather than dual. I know duals are better for low end performance, and single the opposite, but is it true single planes are an overall ok intake on the V6? I've read that the Kenne-Bell intake is the best overall carb V6 intake you can get, even for a mild street engine. The only dual plane is the Edelbrock, but it's not EGR supportive. And I'm not removing my EGR. I know that there is the stock 4.1 intake, but it's too damn hard to come across, especially here in Canada. I don't think our cars recieved the 4.1 (same story as the 305 instead of the 307 in Oldsmobiles).
Lastly, for now, is Carbs.
I want to go with a quadrajet 4bbl. Again, I know that the one from the 4.1 would work. Would a regular qjet from say a 305 be ok? I understand that the V6 and V8 qjets are tuned differently. Would I be able to tune the 305 one to work like a stock 4.1 version? Where would I get a kit, or info, on how to do this?
I know this is a lot of info to process. But input would be great.

if you can get me one with that has the matching, non computer controlled qjet, even better
