Glad this has been helpful... It was strictly an experiment, but if I were to do it all over again? I wouldn't. I'd put the time and money towards a 3.4 swap and just do the same idea with the 3.4

I got my headers for $75 bucks so I couldnt help myself lol. That coupled with I already have my highflow cat and borla muffler installed and I am in the middle of a trans swap I figured why not. My 3.0 is has been very well maintained by the p/o, and Ive been on top of things since. But alas I know its only a matter of time. I saw a 3.4 at pick a part today for $600 and it got my mind running...

but like I said, no way would I ever do it again and I have a 3vz again now. I spent probably 1000 bucks on this exhaust setup, and sure its the best of the best for the 3vz, but I can get a 3.4 for 1000 bucks.
But like I said, I'd love to drop headers on a 3.4, no cat, o2 MILs and a sweet muffler.

I wrote a review of the same exhaust after a couple years of driving it.
Here's the link:

In short, I recommend it.

I suspect that a crossover delete tied to a proper cat back will accomplish >85% of what the full system with headers will do...
LCE sells their (all of these are mandrel bends) Y pipe for $200 (have to email them, not alone in their catalog) plus their full cat back, excluding cat, for $400. And the only custom would be down pipes from headers to Y pipe. The cat back and Y pipe can probably be reused with a 3.4. I think I'd enlarge the join portion of they Y and run a larger diameter from there through the exit of the cat, but otherwise, there's no reason you can't keep the LCE catback w/ a 3.4 IMO. Sort of a dual purpose if you will. Still on my to do, but that's my strategy...
