I believe the 3l ones hang lower than the 3.5l ones. That's really the only difference though

If pacemakers, they are the same, Feeky is sort of right, they sit lower on a 3.0 due to the lower block height

The extractors then selves are the same length

There is a pipe that joins the fronts to the rears. What you have there is useless and you may as well purchase new ones by the time you get the part made up with all required

To be honest, extractors are more a sound thing than power, the Magna FWD exhaust is already a good set up for a factory unit

The worst part with the stock setup is the factory Y pipe, as normally the "divider" comes loose and rattles like a mofo and then also blocks flow thru the pipe..... Ive made a few replacement Y pipes up for people over the years but in all honesty the cost (pipe, bends and labour) it works out close to my price for new pacemakers.

You can also just cut the stock Y pipe open and remove the broken divider pieces and then weld the pipe back up. This is cheap and easy but you do loose some flow thru the pipe as the divider is there to guide and merge the gasses into the single pipe.
