TRD headers-2 left!

You can't go wrong with the headers from LC engineering on the 4 bangers. I've heard nothing but good things.

 

So I think the only problem I'm going to come across is at the cats. If I purchase a universal cat from Magnaflow and have them put the right flange on to match the y-pipe I should be good to go!

 

That's pretty much what I've read. Get it done and post up some pics!

 

Just got off the phone with Jensai from Toyota parts dept.he said what he has heard from other customers on these headers is the that they're changing the flanges or purchasing cats that would correspond to the 98 models and presto! Done deal.

 

there were changes like the egr port and mounting for the oem cat. they will fit but youl need to make it work with rest of exhaust like already said.

 

Roger that.

 

Anyone know if there's a set left?

 

I just searched via eBay and these popped up, I believe it's the same listing (in Florida). Says there are still 2 left

Hmm, super tempting... it would be taking out of my money for rear arb an gears :/

 

hmmm...if it were me, I'd stick with the ARB plan then. The headers are great but they are best when used with the supercharger, otherwise it's just an expensive way to make your truck sound better. The ARB locker is by far a much more practical mod that you'll get way more out of using.

 

Yea that's what I'm thinking... I can stay slow for awhile

 

But...these suckers you just can't get anymore.you could go with the Doug Thorley headers later on but most likely you may not see these for awhile and most likely not from Toyota

 

Yes there are two different sets. Really it's just the y pipe - after some intense research last night here are the differences

This is the old style that I have before TRD changed them for leaking purposes and 01-04 models

Notice the y pipe design and the original TRD copper gaskets


Now here's the changed design, the pieces for the manifolds are the same with the same part #s, however notice the y pipe again. And no they didn't come in black this is like a ceramic paint.


This is the part # for the new y pipe design if anyone has the old design and wants to do it right

And this is the part # for the spring bolts and gaskets that help correct any leak issues, which was the main part in the design change.

Just good info to keep in mind and glad I could clear things up.

 

Good to know, thanks!

 

Is the y-pipe and gaskets available for purchase or discontinued also?

 

Yes check the links I provided, you can still buy them probably left over inventory.

 

Just called. She said that it was discontinued . But, I'll do whatever I've got to do to make it work. Thank you for searching all that stuff. I'm sure the gaskets and flanges I can order and that's all I'll need to make it work

 

@TashcomerTexas
The flanges on the y-pipe going to the cats are different from earlier headers compared to the 2001-2004 ones correct? Two bolts on the old vs three on the new.

 

To much of a hassle....I would just buy Doug and thorlys headers. MHO

 

Correct they are different, and you can see that on the different y pipes. Just because it's discontinued doesn't mean they won't sell it otherwise these sites would have them taken off. You can google the part #s I left and there are various Toyota sites that have them and there's cheaper prices, those were just the first links I saw.
