Wouldn't a standard manifold be the cheapest option? Extractors are usually more expensive.

Ring around the usual exhaust shops in your area... If they say that they can't get them, ask where you should try next.
Someone would make a standard manifold other than Toyota for a car as common as the Camry.
I was told about $450 for extractors for the Cressida... The guy said, "about" because he couldn't get them himself... he said that would be about how much they'd cost. Not too cheap.

Hey thanks for your advice.
I've tried all exhaust places i can find nearby... apparently the V6 camry isnt common enaough to have thoses parts available... yet the four cylinder has all the parts you would want available...
the joys of owning a rare car?!?

i just got extactors custom made for my 88 v6. u'll notice a huge difference. id recommend it to anyone who wants a little more from the motor.
And you wont find extractors ready made for ur car. Has to be all custom.

when I applied for insurance with GIO the lady claimed they wouldnt insure a car that had extractors on it, I was like wtf, and what if you just didn't tell them in the event of a serious accident they may be stuffed anaywya, and what if in the case of this bloke or my uncle for that matter the old ones developed a crack and factory ones were either unabtainable or too exepnsive

Yeah that doesn't suprise me, extractors are certainly a larger mod than cat back exhaust or wheels.
In regards to extractors, from my understanding the v6 exhaust maniford is quite difficult to work on and might even need to have the engine removed due to the location of it, so considering the labour costs involved anyhow i would get extractors fitted.

Wouldn't the engine have to be removed to fit a factory manifold anyway?
Perhaps there's extractors available in Japan you could import?
Shop around xorst shops if you do go extractors tho - some old-skool xorst workshops are like, 40% cheaper than the big chains like Midas, Carline etc. etc.
If it's not too badly cracked tho - you could get the factory manifold TIG-welded, sucka. . . . . 
(explaination - it'd probably open up the crack again in a few months)

The engine doesn't necessarily have to be removed. Mine didn't anyways. If you have a good exhaust place, then it's possible to do it with the car up on a hoist. Made from underneath. Mine came out great!! and only $410 labour, as opposed to poss. over $1K for engine removal...it is possible. And they do help HEAPS. I'd recommend them.

As stated earlier, you CAN'T for your car.
You will have to go custom mate.
Expect to pay upto $1K. Mine was $800.
Are you in Melbourne, south east suburbs poss? coz the guy
who did mine, has done your model before. I'd highly recommend him.

Ive got a full system which includes:
-Custom Extractors, running under sump.
-New flex pipe
-Hi Flow Cat Converter
-12" Resonator
-6" Resonator
-Splitting behind the spare wheel well, to 2xXForse LPO2 Canon Mufflers on either side.
All piping is 2", and is not mandrel bent.
117kW is before modifications. 'IF' the engine was brand new, it might get 125-130kW by now, but it has 270k on the clock, so probly not gna get near that for now!
BTW, are you sure your car makes 139kW? Because, I checked up on the spec sheet for the 3VZFE, which I assume you have, and it reports 200PS, which is 147kW...
Even if you have the later engine, 1MZFE, it still makes 200PS, but at a lower RPM range.

Somebody once said, camry v6s sound tinny with performance exhasuts!?!
Nice body kit by the way. any other mods? stereo?

Yep, typo. 149kw, punches in hard at 4500 rpm before redlining at 6200rpm, very powerful top end..... love it!!!
Groggy low end though, mainly due to auto box, I have driven the manual, has much better low end performance, but acceleration times dont seem too different.
Gears ratios are all different too. Auto pulls harder in 2nd gear, while manual has faster 1st gear.
Still... i'd prefer the manual.

The USA model produces 137kw because of stricter emmission laws,
Aussie model recieves better performance.

But how does a 1994 cmary/vienta have more power than the current models when they run the same engine, I still stand by the current ones being more powerful, they are faster and yet still in a heavier car, thus they have to have more power.

The newer motors run the 1MZFE, a different motor to the 3VZFE, and much more refined than the older 1MZFE. The older version ran the same power output as the 3VZFE, however, was more refined in it's acceleration and had a lower power band. Future improvements have bumped the power output higher and higher, right up to the current 1MZFE and newer version 3MZFE.
The sound of my car is AWESOME. Certainly doesnt sound like a Camry. It's got a very deep throaty sound, very nice. With no resonators and straight thru piping to a single canon muffler (also with no extractors) it sound very droney. Way too loud, especially with a POD filter.
If you going to put a system on your car, my setup is good for racey sort of sound, definetly go extractors, and put resonators in if your gna use a canon muffler or two.
If you plan on using 'sports' mufflers like redbacks or something, dont plan on it being loud, it will however have a nice sporty tone and a bit of a burble, but will be much higher pitched and will lack that grunty sound.
My car doensn't blow smoke at allm, it's soooo good condition, for the k's its got. Runs like a dream, strong acceleration, its still in tip top shape, however in realistic terms, i dont think it still produceing the 117kW it comes new with. Maybe...110kW with the mods...not sure exactly.
I am going to get the 3VZFE 5 speed and try and fit it to the 2VZFE. Should be an interesting project.

I am not surprised about it not blowing smoke.... typical camry excellence, mine has 190,000 ks and the only prob i have had is cracked exhaust manifold, but have heard that cracks arent that uncommon...?
Still drives like a new car, fantastic engine response and smoothness, auto is one slick shifter, light years ahead of holdens 4 speed.
I have found that since i have clocked more kays on it, the engine feels stronger.
If you take yours on a nice long highway run in third gear for a while, (higher revs) it tends to clean out the carbon and the engine feels much quieter and responsive, espicially in the low range. Also run premium unleaded 95 octane or higher for 5-10% boost in power, makes a huge difference in mine, sounds better too!
I will get a sports sytem rather than a canon muffler, i like the sleek, refined look rather than fat. It wont be loud either.
but hey, thats just me. what type of oil do you use?

you can get extractors for your car be it the 1mzfe or the 3vzfe. its more so what you are willing to put out. JP Performance, make them for the 1mzfe. and you can get your 3vzfe extractors made at Liverpool Exhausts for about 800, this includes all piping from the head to the flexpipe.
your other choices would be to search the scrap yards and see what you can find (are both banks cracked or just one of the headers?) or ring around...
Cheers
