Just got my LCE header

LCE should be embarassed for putting that dyno on their site. Their microsoft paint skills need some work lol

 

Just a quick question. How long did it take yall to install your header?

 

With air tools and beer.......maybe 2 hours
The beer breaks took up the most time

 

Haha perfect. Hopefully I get home early tomorrow and can knock it out.

 

I did run into 1 set back.

When sliding the header onto the struds, it wouldn't clear air injection thingy on the engine. Took it off and grinded the shit out of it to make enough clearance.

 

Studs*

 

Yes, I had the same problem! I had taken the air injection thingy off when I removed the factory exhaust. I put the new header on, but the thingy would not slide all the way on. The left side was hitting the top of the header. It's fairly soft aluminum, so it was pretty easy to file it 'til it fit.

 

Exactly!!!! The left side on mine too

 

Mine fit like a glove. I just have a couple things to connect and I'm on the road.

I've got to torque everything down, replace intake box and tubing and I'm done. That was super easy

 

Hell yes

 

Done.. Took it for a spin. No leaks! Lol

 

So check engine light and trac light are now on... Any guesses? I'm about to go down and take a look but I'm willing to bet it's an 02 sensor

 

Find the problem with the CE light ?

 

Yup lol. Forgot to reconnect one of the vacuum lines lol. That's what happens when you get excited to crank it up and rush yourself

 

I did that too!

 

Lol nice that makes me feel better

 

This is a good piece of kit. With 50k on the truck the impact wrench was most helpful, instal was a bit more slow then the video on the web site but all went well. Only 200mi on them so far but enjoying the change, was on the fence for a few years but happy to have pulled the trigger

 

Yep, took longer than the video made it seem, but it wasn't bad. Sounds great! I posted a video: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/4-cylinder/173220-4-banger-exhaust-sound-clips-5.html#post9439710

This is with the 50 Series Flowmaster muffler.
