Which headers should i get

Alright if i get scammed im hunting you down and.......

 

No Prob! And I will let you too! Hehe
But yeah they can be trusted! It seems like a reputable site, I got mine for a little cheaper, But thats about the going rate now and days.

 

Oh ok, i looked at one site and it was like 1000 dollars and another was 800 so i was like screw that noise lol.

 

great now my bank account is going to be $500 short at the end of the month.....

 

lol, I got really close to buying those headers but I've decided to go the suspension route for now since my truck has almost 160000 miles on the factory suspension.

 

Haha, dont worry about it stud it'll pay for its self in a few months anyways.

 

Whats the install like on set of those TRD headers Evan? Is it a real PITA?

 

I've heard it was easy and i've heard it was hard. I would imagine if you had mechanical background it wouldnt be to bad.

 

I wonder what gains you get out of the headers...

 

They are apparently a pain. He said that getting to old manifolds out is the hardest part as you have to either cut them. There is also some welding involved near the first cat.

 

Like stated above, The Install isnt to bad, its just trying to get the stock manifold out that can be a bitch. To save time and headache's you just cut it in 3 spots and it comes right out. Its not worth trying to save it. But after that, the new one's go in pretty simple, there's just some spots that are hard to reach and get to. But doable... And theres just one cut and weld at the first cat, which I just had a buddy do.

 

And I saw a huge jump in performance! Not alot to where your jumping up and down doing the taco dance
But I was surprised at how much quicker it was. It gives great gains in the low to mid. It def. eccellerated quicker without giving as much gas as I needed to before. So I feel its def. worth it!

 

Does this mod help in MPG?

 

Not that I saw, but I have 33's. But I believe it does some. bc Im still getting descent mpg's for having 33's. Right around 16-17 If Im lucky I can hit 18-19, but thats mostly highway.

 

Ok i got a call from the sotre and they said TRD headers HAVE been discontinued

 

so if they are discontinued, and one cant find anymore what would be the next best product?

I just realized if i had re read the thread i would have not needed to ask that question, haha thanks!

Ive been calling around as well for the TRD's, Nothing left and apparently in Canada they are worth like $1600 from toyota.

Ive got magnaflow on my truck as well, but the muffler shop that installed it didnt do the best job. They tossed in a high flow cat. Biggest waste of money ever. And they they ran the pipe in between the leaf spring and the frame, so when i hit large bumps i can hear the pipe hitting and ringing. I thought about chopping it off just after the muffler and putting a turn down on. Might be a little loud, any thoughts?

 

Mine is chopped after the axle and its not loud at all.
