Gaskets for TRD Headers!

I just wanted to share my experience with an 01 Tacoma I just purchased that has TRD Headers with NO gaskets in place between the collector pipe and the headers. After a lot of searching, I somehow landed on this company SCE Gaskets that makes a gasket set for TRD Headers.

As a Motorsports shop owner, I see sub-par aftermarket parts all the time, including gaskets. These gaskets however are of excellent quality, and they took care of my exhaust leaks!

I know there are updated gaskets with spring loaded fasteners, but I didn't see the need to swap to that style at this time with these gaskets!

 

No need for the spring loaded fasteners! I used to make that actual set by the dozens for SCE, ex-employee, they are very high quality no doubt. The raised lip around the ports are great for trd headers. I was gonna run those on my JBA headers but they dont work with the raised ports on mine, jba needs those gaskets flat. SCE was started by a moonshiner hence the use for copper.

 

THANK YOU! I was gonna be ordering this, probably through a dealer, and I rather go this route!

 

I contacted the dealer and they were completely useless with helping me find TRD gaskets. They either insisted on giving me factory manifold gaskets or even gave me intake manifold gaskets??

 

Summit racing carries SCE gaskets.

 

Thanks for doing the leg work. I truly appreciate it!

 

Last year there were some TRD headers for the 5VZ floating around on Ebay in the box and I picked up a pair and these are the gaskets I went with. A year later and still no leaks!

 

Just snagged a set of these myself and have been trying to piece together parts. Anyone by chance know the dimensions of the AT relocation bracket, and length of the bolt springs?

 

Hey Ya’ll!
Anyone run these gaskets on a set of Doug Thorley headers?
Just looking for the best option to go with to prevent any exhaust leak from the headers.

Thanks in advance!

 

I just bought these yesterday. You will need 2 different kits. See pic below/attached.
