Yup, The Y-pipe is dual 3'' in single 3.5'' out. I have the same kit. Another pic...
Allgonoshow, what are the header bolt Tq specs? You remind me of the work I must do when my new ride comes in .

sounds good, definitely louder but no resonance at cruising speed.
I didn't have alot of seat time in different driving conditions to have a frame of reference
for comparison
I changed it because the oe tail pipe is kind of fugly.
I used pieces of the pipe i removed and butt welded them to the tail pipe ahead of where the resonator was and butt welded a 3.5 inch stainless tip to that.
exits at a steep angle behind the wheel, I prefer not have a big tip showing.
I will take some pics tomorrow
time permitting, I'll put my headers on.
Have you done any exhaust on yours???

thanx for the kind words guys.
i have a little seat time,
it's a rocket
headers didn't set any codes which is weird.
stock muffler could be the reason, we'll see
i ordered a large body 3.5 magnflow muffler and resonator, resonator just in case it's too loud, don't like the current sound, sounds like a f/master.. loud and baffles rattle at shifts
waiting on vararam still as well.
i'll take some pics and sound clips before and after exh change
the goal is clean/smooth with no drone,
volume is secondary but if goal one is acheived volume may be ok
but still only about 800 miles, gotta work to pay for this chit

being 4x4 and lowered,
what's up with that.
had a bud out yesterday that drives a nice Tundra.
from the passenger seat he could appreciate the power but ...
the first 180 degree ramp I ran at about 65 mph on chitty goodyears.
his quote while searching for a grab handle..
" wow, my Tundra would be over the rail and in the woods by now"
20"s and grabber 285/50/20 waiting for better weather.
