Benefit of doug thorley header?

Is the doug thorley header a worth while upgrade for my 2.7l reg cab? I can get it shipped new for $370 so i was just looking for input or any info anyone had from experience or what theyve heard. thanks guys in advance!

 

I have heard you get better low end power. But this scared me away from them http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/4-cylinder/227638-doug-thorley-problems.html

 

where did you find it? could you post the link im interesed in one!

 

To each their own, but when Workman used to drive a POS 2.5L 4 cylinder Jeep, He thought putting a header on would be a good way to increase power.

A huge headache later, including the fact that the header had to be ground down on one end cause stuff was in the way, Workman had his header. But he did not have any more power, maybe even less. The noise wasn't very cool either.

Headers sound great on big ol V8's, and may actually open up a LITTLE power on these engines, not the case on a little 4 cylinder, IMO. Good luck.

 

"...not the case on a little 4 cylinder, IWO(In Workman's Opinion)..."

Corrected that one for ya...

 

do not waste your time with thorley!! members have had bad experiences with them (maxpower92 i think..) and they are not good headers for the 2.7. get a LCE HEADER! I have one and it provided a noticeable increase in power and is dyno proven.

 

you have a link for one?

 

yes where can we pick those up, i havnt seen one yet!

 

Found a link for the lce headers sweet. yah after reading that other thread doug thorley is out for me!

edit: if you're talking about the dyno, I couldn't find the link but when I bought mine I remember seeing one somewhere because that's what initially sold me on it

 

I want to thank you guys for posting your header experiences. I was about to make the mistake of getting a Doug Thorley...

I just now bought an LCE.
