Don't know if there are 3.4 headers. Might want to ask over on a place like fullthrottlev6.com.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Flowmaster is 2.5 in -- unless you have a system not made for your car:

A full 3 in. exhaust on a 3.4L is likely to hurt your low-end torque. I think there's probably just one other 3.4L header option from Pacesetter...

I think you want to review the stickies...
