3400 Performance Guide
Permalink Closed


Please Read First:

**ALL SUSPENSION PARTS (including motor mounts, STBs, sway bars, trailing arms, struts, strut mount plates, lowering springs, bushings & pogo eliminators) are the same on the 3.4L AND 3.8L Monte Carlos. SOME other W-body suspension parts will fit as well. Please research before doing these though.

**ALL WHEELS AND BRAKES /BRAKE KITS are the same for the 3.4L and 3.8L Monte Carlos. We use a 12" rotor stock with a 115x5 bolt pattern for the wheel.
AGAIN, SOME W-bodies share the same bolt pattern for wheels. Please research this accordingly.

**Any listing below with the link to www.milzymotorsports.com you will have to navigate yourself. Go to the RED LIST on the left side of the screen and select ENGINE PERFORMANCE. When the drop down menu appears, SELECT 3400. you may then navigate through the list according to which part you are trying to locate.

**The 99-01 3.4L Grand Am has the same engine. So SOME parts from that car will fit with little to no modifications. Please check first to make sure.

**A direct fit is the Impala 3400, the engine is EXACTLY the same, just the PCM is programmed different.

**The 06+ Monte Carlo with the 3500 engine has a few mods that will fit as well.
If you see parts that are listed below with 3500 next to it then it will fit, according to the seller's websites.

**PLEASE mod your car correctly. If you upgrade parts for more power, we STRONGLY recommend upgrading your braking system, to accommodate more power.

**If you do anything like turbo/supercharger or some heavy duty mods, you will have to upgrade to an HD Tranny because the stock tranny WILL NOT last long.

**Also, if you plan to upgrade, MAKE SURE to upgrade the supporting mods accordingly. Ask around if your not sure.

**INSTALL ALL PARTS  AT YOUR OWN RISK. NYMCC is not responsible for your misconceptions.

EXHAUST:

ALL W-BODY EXHAUST KITS SHOULD fit. As stated before, please research further for more information on this. We are not responsible for any mistakes made by misconceptions.
This is mostly all personal preference. If your planning on modding further than just an intake, NYMCC suggests to upgrade to 2.5” piping, up from the stock, 2.25” piping. 3" piping is possible, but we do not recommend it unless you are going FI (forced induction). You will lose too much backpressure.

We recommend listening to our exhaust sound database or searching through the posted threads in this section to see what you like.
Exhaust Sound Database: http://www.naioa.com/v2/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4677

WHATEVER you choose, make sure you get the "u-bend" delete done. It is a "U" shaped bend in the pipe directly after the catalytic converter. This not only will give you a few HP, but increase air flow.
PLEASE SEARCH through these threads in this section to find more information on this subject.
Click this link below to see a picture of the "Ubend" we are talking about.
http://www.pfyc.com/pc/WB5001/IMEXH/U-Bend+Replacement.html
An exhaust shop should be able to do this for you for under $50.

You may also decide to remove the stock resonator. This part is specifically designed to reduce the interior "drone" that you will hear inside the car while driving. If you are not worried about the noise level INSIDE the car, then you may opt to remove this. it will free up the exhaust a tad bit and make the exhaust note louder.


Downpipe Section (DP) / High-Flow CAT Upgrade:
READ: Buying this downpipe section incorporates the infamous Ubend delete already and adds a higher flowing Magnaflow Catalytic Converter.

-Magnaflow High-flow CAT:
PN - 94006 2.5" in/out

Headers / PEMs (Ported Exhaust Manifolds):

-S&S Headers:
http://www.headermania.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=H&Category_Code=V6HeadersGA
READ: These are made for the Grand Am. You will need to modify your passenger side motor mount for proper fitment. You will also need to move your power steering lines for proper fitment. Most people who have used these ZipTie their PS lines to create the clearance. Please use these AT YOUR OWN RISK

You can do the TOP SWAP from a 3500 engine and get them from either Wot-tech.com or milzymotorsports. As stated before, please do research before attempting this. 60degreeV6.com has some great information if you are interested in doing this.

Also, MilzyMotorSports offers 2 stages of "Performance Packages" for someone with enough money looking for a discount on multiple parts.
