1997 Tacoma - what is the best replacement exhaust manifold?

1997 Tacoma 2.4 L
I am replacing exhaust manifold. What is torque sequence?
Thank you, Larry

 

What is wrong with yours ?Unless your looking for a header and exhaust system.

Myself I would look for a used exhaust manifold off a lower mileage engine.

The quality of after market ones can be quite poor.

It is a royal pain to get things all back together and it leaks.

 

Thanks for the advice.
Mine is cracked. 212k miles.

 

Get OEM. Should last just as long or longer/

 

Do a search for the 4runner mini header . I believe the later 4rrunner had them. I'd get more info but I'm in the middle of somethingelse atm.

 

LC Engineering or the mini-header upgrade from the 01-04 trucks will be your best options.

 

I bought a OEM-style replacement from 1aauto for my '99 and it has held up so far. Seemed to be made better than stock. My stock manifold was cracked and needed replacement as well.

 

The mini header seems like a good route. If I could’ve found one from a junkyard I would’ve gone that route but i got some headers from lce instead. They’re nice but spendy
