pretty good ebay find maybe?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAINLESS-R...ma&hash=item2c8b9f0400&vxp=mtr#ht_4114wt_1521 i realize these are not any trusted brand name, but they are stainless and cheaper with a new stainless y pipe than jba or DT. i dont really plan on buying them or atleast anytime soon but thought that was a heck of a deal. thought i post it up and see what the experts thought.

 

My experience with headers is that even the good ones crack. Not sure how often these would crack and need repaired but my guess is that it would be more often than more expensive offerings. If someone owns these actual headers and can post some long-term experience that would be helpful.

 

the only "long term" use of this brand i found was on a ls1 forum (i washed my eyes out well after view to get rid of unwanted gm nonsense) but a couple guys had ran them over a year with no issue. some did complain about fitment being a minor issue (they said they had to dent the driver side to clear the stiring column i think, but that would be a model specific issue and the tacoma would have something else to look out for im sure.

 

One thing is sure, the Y pipe won't fit a 4x4.

I've runned a DTLT headers on my 2005 for 4 years and for 2 years now on my 2011 with no problems.

 

These also are NOT equal length headers and while they claim they are TIG welded they look braised to me which I would not expect to hold up under high temp nearly as well. Idk man...looks like a flashy stock exhaust manifold to me...but just my $0.02
