There is none for your engine.

Really no reason to go with an aftermarket header setup, the 3vz-fe (your v6) is not set up to take advantage of even the best tuned header setup.

You would have to get cam regrinds and head work done to get power worth the money you spent, and even then you are still just lugging around a FWD Camry with a 400+lb v6 stuck under the hood.

You want performance? Make yourself a crossover style turbo manifold and slap a good sized t3/t4 on there.

whats a crossover style turbo?

This is a kit for a GM L series v6

notice the two manifolds going in to the turbo, normally that is just a piece of pipe connecting the front manifold to the back manifold and then into the exhaust. Hence crossover style, just merge the two manifolds and mount a turbo flange on it, then build off of that. I don;t know If this style setup will fit into a Camry engine bay or not, just have to measure it one of these days.

wow i didnt even know they made a turbo setup for the GM V6, thats pretty cool.

as far as performance, forget headers, just modify the Ypipe to allow for better flow and ull free up quite a bit right there.

The aftermarket and affordability is what got me into the GP scene, I'm selling it because I just want a different car. Grand Prixs are actually really nice (believe it or not

)
