Are Headers a good bang for your buck?

I'm looking into getting a good pair of headers for my truck (08' tacoma V6 extcab), but want to get some that dont leak and dont empty the bank. I already have a magnaflow cat system installed and does it makes a noticeable amount of gain over stock? Short tube or long tube?

 

imo,all the times dealing with headers,they were more maintance/problems than i had tolerance for.2 times i actually put the stock manifolds back on.good luck.

 

I've heard good things about Doug thorley, check URD's website

 

x2 they also sound good

 

long tube everything i hear about short tube is just sound long tube is supposed to be your power gain but remember you pay for what you get

 

To be honest if you're not forced induction the headers won't do all that much, certainly not enough to be considered a good bang for the buck.

 

Headers are good. I have the TRD headers for the V6... I think TRD stopped making headers...


I had a buddy who just gave me his TRD headers the headers were about a year old... My other buddy and I started ripping everything apart on the tacoma, soon realizing that these headers did not fit correctly. Oh no!!!
I end up buying the right TRD headers for my tacoma off ebay. Thought I got a good deal, instead I had to pay a lot more than I wanted to. LOL
