The dreaded exhaust manifold.....

So my exhaust manifold cracked on my 2.7L 4x4 3RZ FE engine. I certainly know this is a common thing that occurs on these engines. Have any of you all had to replace yours? I am wanting to know if there are any good aftermarket companies you have used for this part with good success. Thanks for any information!

 

I think the updated OEM part is made thicker to resolve the issue. You can also use the newer-style manifold from the 01+ Tacomas, or an aftermarket header.

 

I really liked my LC Engineering long tube.

 

A good time to add a turbo.

 

What I did w/ my fractured manifold

 

Lots of options......

all the way from another cast iron sand mold one for about $59....everywhere .....parts geek...ect..

and then the steel/stainless steel ones start at $100......upto $400....

I have heard some fitment issues with the long tube one from LCE....
so I would be careful buying a 'long tube'......do some research.....
message who ever you buy from to make sure it fits......

 

Me too. Perfect opportunity for OP to uograde

 

My original 2.4 header cracked at the flange. Replaced header, gaskets, hardware with OEM.

 

Pull it and weld it.

 

I've had to replace mine twice! I wish I would have gone with a stainless setup.

 

I disconnected my battery and had my homie weld it whilst still on. Fine 80k miles later
