Looks nice, funny when you first posted that you had custom headers I was about to call BS. Not many people will pony up for one off headers, but there they are. Did you have move/relocate anything to get them to fit? Any ball-peen hammer "adjustments" to the headers?

the fitment was good only problem was one of the bolt was in the way it was hitting the header they had to heat up the header and hammer it in a little bit so the bolt wont be hitting it anymore. you can use a camry or solara headers only thing you gotta worry about is the oxygen sensor its different from the rx300 ... this is the camry / solara oxygen sensor http://i15.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/3b/ef/85f8_1.JPG and this is the rx300 oxygen sensor http://i4.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/f7/b9/baca_1.JPG . maybe you can buy that ring that goes around oxygen sensor and use it on the rx300 or you can drill a new hole on the header for the oxygen sensor and cover up the other one. As for the downpipe i am using a camry v6 downpipe i had to cut the rear downpipe that connects to rear header and bend it so it will fit and weld it back on. if you could find a good muffler shop that does custom work they can make it happen with you.
