Longevity of the headers is coming into question. Problems with manifold leaks are common.
I added a freer flowing exhaust and noticed a little improvement, at the very least it sounds better.
The 3.0 is a perfectly fine engine, but when you are undergeared with a auto, it is really slow.
I have an auto and 5.29's with 33's. If I drive a little harder, it does decent. It is not a highway cruiser, but that is not what I want it do be anyway.
A person ought to run 4.88's with 31's and 5.29's with 33's behind the auto. I plan to get by on 35's, but any bigger and it is time for the 3.4 Give that swap a couple years and I think it will be so common that the price and ease will make it much more practical. i would have to say that would be the best bang for the buck.
