Based on the pictures on your site, there are no pre-cats in the headers but there are holes for the O2 sensors. How will the SES light be taken care of when the ECU sees no precats?

You're correct though...that's going to set off the MIL.

According to Stillen, since all the O2 sensors will still be in place the ECU should not throw an SES light.

just like I "should" have been married for life... but then again, I digress.

You MOVE the rear two 02-sensors behind the main cat and use the two header bung holes for an EGT and A/F gauge.

That's what I was thinking too... I was trying to find out if all the hardware is supplied for this idea for $840.

Steve -a different slant on the fitment question:
Okay, I'm clear -because u have bene duly emphatic- that these these headers will NOT fit a 3 liter but that said, what will it take to get Stillen -or whomever is really the manufacturer (the pipe-bender) for these headers- to make a set for the 3-liter?
It's likely the only difference will be the layout of the flange where they mate up to the heads and maybe will need to be .25 inches less in diameter to maintain similar exhaust gas velocities with the smaller per-cylinder displacement, but other than that, why would they be different?
What does it take?

I have to be absolutely sure these are worth the money. Here I am wishing I had the money now.

Re: Steve -a different slant on the fitment question:
Galo. I could arrange to have a local header shop fabricate a set, put it on a jig and have them mass produced. It's not hard to actually make a set. They also have a mandral bending machine also. The question is who is gonna buck up the $ to have a set made, have it dyno tested, pay for the jigging fees and then market them. Even then you are going to face the critics. IMHO, it would probably take about $2000 to have a set made and thoughly dyno'd. That's ONE set. If it took maybe 3 sets to find a combo that worked, that's about $5-6000 before you even sold one. I know Cattman is making a set for the 3.0 VQs. But I don't know if they fit the 5th gen's body style.

Sounds good Steve. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you guys get out of dynoing or an actual chart from Stillen. Anyway if they put to the wheels what you say they will then I'm defiently buying them. By the way what kind of power to the crank and also the wheel do you think I could get with my mods and the headers. 300-315hp crank and around 258hp wheel, or is that to much.

Any chance our cars will run lean with these headers? Will we need SAFC's? Also, I'm kinda worried about trying to pass California emissions with these things on...

But the gains are real good so far with just the second overall set of test headers.
