OFFICIAL DOUG THORLEY HEADER GROUP BUY!

Funniest post in this thread!!!

 

The diy is for long tubes. it seems simple enough, its just going to be annoying to get to.

you should return your face to your mailbox where your headers havent been yet

EEE

 

Did you get under there and measure where the header would bolt to the old exhaust?

 

is it the width of the exhaust?? or what because i got under there and i didnt see a flange bolt (even though i dont know what that is) but i didnt see anything like that. my step dad knows alot about trucks so hes going to help me.

 

hey guys, sorry to thread jack.

i have an 06 4.0L and i have had a cat go bad. any chance anyone would be willing to sell me theirs? please pm

 

I'm pretty sure the federal govt has an emissions law/warranty, covering catalytic converters for 8yr/80k miles. It differs from your standard Toyota Warranty. I would inquire about that first.

 

AK27, here ya go man:
http://www.epa.gov/oms/consumer/warr95fs.txt

"
There are three specified major emission control components,
covered for the first 8 years or 80,000 miles of vehicle use on 1995
and newer vehicles:

* Catalytic converters.

* The electronic emissions control unit or computer (ECU).

* The onboard emissions diagnostic device or computer (OBD).

Catalytic converters are critical emission control components
that have been installed on most cars and trucks manufactured since
1975. Since engines don't burn fuel completely during the combustion
process, the exhaust contains a significant amount of harmful
pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and oxides of
nitrogen. The catalytic converter aids the conversion of these
pollutants to less harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, water
vapor, nitrogen, and oxygen before the exhaust is expelled into the"
environment.

 

chris, thanks for the info but i am wayyyyy over 80k miles

 

I'll try to post a pic I made.

 

wow thanks so much man! im a blonde so i ask stupid questions.... so i measure the diameter of the exhaust right before the cat pretty much?

 

posting a pic for a better answer of my question.... i printed off your pic and circled some things..

 

its not letting me post it here do you have a email i can send it to you real fast 2004 robert

 

URD says to measure from center of the bolt holes. Its not actually the size of the tube but from bolt to bolt. should be 3 1/2 or 4 1/4 according to the site. With only one catalytic converter. They make yours all difficult.

 

looks just like something I got in a big white box today....

 

So I took your advice and got the following message.

Customer reports that he feels he was overcharged $14.23 after receiving the $111.35 discount.
Refund of $14.23 issued.
​

I guess I should be happy that I got the refund I was rightfully owed by the seller, however the tone of the reply was insulting. I mean seriously... I don't 'feel I was overcharded'... either I was overcharged or I wasn't. There is no feeling involved it just a simle fact.

The seller set a price via a 20% discount, I agreed to pay $540 (less 20%) just like everyone else in the GB. I was then accidentally overcharged and didn't even realize it until the seller pointed it out to me in this thread. I then sent a very respectful email asking If I was infact overcharged stating that the math came out to me being owed $14.23. Poor form by the seller for sure!!!

On a lighter note... I got the notice that the headers for the 4.0-V6 have shipped!

 

i just ordered mine about 5 min ago! and from what i know gadget is a good guy, maybe bad day or something. or one of his associates. but oh well. i saved like $81!!

 

anyone have them on their truck yet?

 

I messaged gadget and its where the header pipe bolt to the cat. Center to center on the bolts.

Edit: i just read the rest of the thread. sorry... lol

 

Fwiw, He had an attitude when I requested my refund as well. All in all, refund was received and headers are on order, so its fine. Just not how I would've handled it.

 

You guys gotta think theres 50 people trying to order and ask tons of questions on top of his day to day business so Im sure he is feeling overwhelmed right now.
