To be honest that is a bit of an overkill. You will find a lot of supra guys for example using a single 3" exhaust to make 600whp, and 3.5" single to get well in to the 800's. Dual 3" on a stock block Z is way more than anybody would ever need IMO. Dual 2.5" exhaust will flow more than a single 3.5" as it has a greater combined surface area than a single 3.5" pipe.

The oil filter relocation kit that I include has to be used with this kit. From there it would only be two oil lines to whatever cooler you have. One line would go from the new oil filter flange "out" port to the oil cooler inlet, and then from the oil cooler outlet back to the new plate where the OEM filter used to sit.

Don't know, the car is not tuned yet, so it can't be driven hard enough to get the oil temperatures too high.
