Love the attention to detail - this build is incredible.
Curious where you find the time to do all the work? Any tips or advice ?
While I draw inspiration from this thread I am wiped out at the end of the day and weekends are
pretty much playing catch up for me. Either way, well done sir !

The collectors are slip fit.

I don’t have a very tiring job so I have some motivation and energy when I get home
I put rubber blocks in between the stabilizer bar and the front cover/oil pan. And when I’m not working under the car, I put a block of wood just in front of the lower pan and support it with a floor jack.

Circa March 2016 when I had both OEM manifolds replaced under extended warranty.

Did you get to see how the held the engine up to install the SSTs?
I'm not about to buy the SSTs for the top or the bottom, but I can see how they'd be pretty helpful if you are a Lexus tech.

Makes jobs that require subframe removal way easier.
Heres what I found online:

They’d still have to temporarily support the engine via the pan with those long support stands to install the sst’s. I thought about fabbing something like those but the rubber blocks work just fine, I remove the engine mounts and brackets to remove and install the exhaust manifolds/headers anyway.

Headers are on my bucket list if these OEM manifolds fail again... Or I should say when they do..
For cost and quality, I always seems to eye PPE.
Do you plan on any CATS on the mid pipe for smell control ??? Or will the Icode come with them already ??
I applaud your DIY garage installs..
Wish I had the time & tools..!! Joe Z
