OFFICIAL DOUG THORLEY HEADER GROUP BUY!

it shouldnt happen to you. They shouldnt smog your truck at all, should just be obdII. and if you have the O2 sim you will be good.

 

Big ups for this guy, I havent been in AZ to long to know all the laws etc...

 

yea you should be fine. the only way they will smog you is if they smell it.... I am running DTLT's, URD Y, and TRD exhaust..... i have no cats, so mine smells and ill probably have to buy a high flow cat or two.

 

Only had time to get the long tubes on today and what a difference they made. One tip in case you are trying to install with a wideband sensor in the collector on the drivers side you have to have it out of the header before you try to install it makes life so much easier. I am going to try to get both pulleys installed along with my gauges tomorrow if its nice again outside. I tried to get a decent vid today but failed ill try to get one up asap.

 

go to urdusa.com, find the phone number call it and use extension 3 that will bring you to gadget. ask him whats up then post his answer here, you should ask whats going on with erics too! thanks! haha

 

Got mine installed today. Took me about 4 hours including about an hour cutting new threads on one of the O2 sensors that pulled the threads out of the old manifold.

For the 05+ long tubes I found it easiest to work through the wheel wells to get the nuts off the engine block. Using a ratchet with a universal and about a 12" extension was the easiest for most of the nuts, some of them I used a 1/4" drive ratchet to reinstall. I also took the propeller shaft off instead of the steering linkage to have clearance to wrestle the new headers back in on the drivers side.

I was freaking out cuz I threw a P0051 code right away... turns out I didn't plug the O2 sensor back in lol. Now I just gotta tighten everything again and replace a nut I dropped somewhere in the engine.

All in all not a bad install at all, I'd give it about a 3 out of 10, Nothing really difficult just some awkward places to reach.

Now I want a Y-pipe and MAF cal!! It has a nice deep sound coupled with my TRD intake and exhaust. Im not noticing any rasp yet

 

I made my order through the Doug Thorley website and not URD, will that matter?

 

ohh shitt? did you get the discount???

you were supposed to order through urd..

 

I wasn't part of the the group buy, I went to urd to order the headers but they were more expensive then the doug thorley site, so I bought it through DT instead. Ive been trying to call DT for like a week now and it just rings threw. I'm starting to get a little irritated.

 

I ordered through this website http://www.dougthorley.com/

I'm starting to think it was a bad idea.

 

oh well then idk we didnt do it through thorley we did it through urdusa.com

edit: and thats not the doug thorley header site???

the site is dougthorleyheaders.com.. oh shit. call Toll Free: (800) 347-8664
or emailEmail: info@dougthorleyheaders.com

and ask them if that was a valid web site.
and what you should do... post the reply i would like to know.thanks

the numbers on the sites are different... from dougthorley.com its (253) 479-1922

 

I just got off the phone with a sales rep from dougthorleyheaders.com and was told that dougthorley.com is a legitimate distributor of their products. My order has been placed but they are back ordered for another 3 weeks.

I guess their customer service isn't quite up to par when it comes to getting back to the buyer, well at least I know that some fake website didn't take my money now

 

oh man thank god i was really scared for you.

 

I have increased my mpg by +4 per gallon since the install. I've clocked about 800 miles w these babies an I luuuuvvvveemm

0-60 in 9 seconds w my 4 cyl w larger tires. Not sooo bad eh

 

i have a 4 cyl and bigger tires too. it def bogged it down. i wonder if the 4 cyls will gain alot because they get the power to move the tires

 

Is this group buy going to be repeated? And will they ship to Canada? I JUST bought my Tacoma and joined the forum!

 

it might you can call urd and see if they can give you some type of discount. im sure it wont be the huge 20% tho

 

I am hoping if we start the count over, we can repeat the same deal. I am not in a rush, so....

"one"!

 

i love my headers every day more and more

 

I havent been able to install my headers yet and wont be able to until september or so. Has anyone noticed a big difference in sound with the headers and a stock exhaust? I dont know if I want to add an aftermarket exhaust because I am afraid it will be to loud.
