    still working on the money aspect haha. Prob going between LCE or DT header, most likely DT shorty header since from what i undestand it gives the most low-mid range gains compared to the other headers available for the 2.7L

    bfg 31s, cragar 15x8s, bilstein 5100s front and rear, x runner posi unit, header to full exhaust with cat/egr deletion, custom intake system, cb/pa, infinity sound system, wheel spacers front and rear, black trim etc
    over summer i picked up a set of doug thorleys off of underdogracingdevelopment. they work great and i notice the difference, only thing is there is no port for the egr. so i just said fuck smog and sealed off the egr and ran a full exhaust with no cats and o2 sims. check into the doug thorleys. i got them for like 180 bucks.

    sold....
    i ordered headers doug thorleys because they were the best price. 2 monthes later and after several conversations with doug thorley saying it would be 4 weeks i gave up. do not order them because they said that none of their dealers have them and i think yuo will run into the same problem.

    i have settled on the Doug Thorley header. And pinktaco (haha) DT does make a header with a port for the EGR system the part number is 511-1-C and its actually a Tri-Y set up unlike the one you got from URD. LCE sells the DT header with and w/o the EGR port. Found a link for the dyno sheet of the tri-y header for the 2.7L header with the EGR port for the 2001-2004 3RZ engine, if its real then its very significant gains
