You used the stock 3.4 exhaust manifolds without the crossover right? Doing this might seem easier then using headers.
I am currently in the middle of this swap myself using Downey headers but the header is hitting the frame on the R side. Any clues on how to remedy this?

Ok I drove it this morning. Very nice. The guys at the exhaust shop hooked me up. The total for the exhaust plus towing and getting my shifters extended only came to $162!!!!! He did a crossover behind the engine and routed it to a y pipe and then out to the regular components. He also welded in an o2 bung. The piping is mostly 3.4 stock size but I may go bigger with headers when I get the money. I did have to get my shifter reposition on Saturday cause it was hitting my radio.
I was able to actually pass cars today, I accelerated (not decelerated) up a long hill and had to take my foot of the gas so I wouldn't be speeding. So far I've only got 1 issue but I think it's tranny related. I have a squealing when I give it gas or if it idles high. It could be the pilot bearing cause I had to tap it a little to get it in. Also I have to start off in 2nd most of the time cause 1st will kick me out and by the time I hit the gas it's time to shift anyway. It comes out of 2nd just like it would come out of 1st. I just have to repostion my steering wheel cause it's crooked from the extension but other than that everything else seems to work fine. Oh, I haven't checked the A/C yet cause it's not recharged and I prob won't for a few months. I didn't get a stock airbox so I bought a high flow filter with adapter and that fits perfect,it's a short one and it looks a little weird where it sits but it doesn't hit my fusebox. That's all I can think of now.

Dude hektikwon, you have some kinda world record on the lowest cost for this swap mucho props to you for that. Now we need some damn pics of Completed motor and exhaust with sound bytes. You can also change your sig to read 3.4 swap completed now instead of in motion.
