2.7 Manifold Help 2000 3RZ

[kman55]

im not sure if this is best to star a thread ro the corrct place sio if not im sorry. I have seen alot on it, but no real for sure answer. Basically i have the good old cracked cast iron exhaust manifold. I have been creeping around and have seen the tubular mini header for $330 or so but i then came across the tacoma manifold for 2.7. Its about half the cost and a toyota part. The part number is 17141-75080.
It appears it will be a perfect fit, im just hoping people have put in on a 4runner without issue before i purchase it. Also i am hoping i dont have a burnt valve from all that junk. Long story short, i need to replace PCV valve its past due but the idle isn't rough, just not what it used to be and there isn't a miss or any CEL, just a weird miss like pop every now and then. Every couple minutes, i know i need to get it compression or leak down tested. I tried the paper test, it does rattle not suck it in hard, but i also have no CAT, haven't since i got the vehicle 90,000 miles ago. So i am wondering if that plus an exhaust leak would affect the paper test.

I know its a lot to ask, and i didn't want to drag up an old thread, sorry about the rant. I just want to keep her in good working order!

I can quickly comment on the tacoma mini header. It works. I did the upgrade 3 ish years ago in a campground outside of Phoenix.

You need a lot of misc. gaskets and new nuts are advised. You should be able to dig up a complete parts list by googling. No trouble at all for me. Ended up getting my parts at camelback. You need a new heat shield too.

A member here [MENTION=78895]DeathCougar[/MENTION]?? sells a complete kit ready to go. Stand up guy and good pricing.

A bonus is that it is smaller and frees up some room in the engine bay.

Okay thank you for the help! I was looking away from that one more just because the Tacoma one is cheaper but I was unaware you needed to swap heat shields and such so that could very well make a difference. All of a sudden the death cougar option is seeming more appealing if I can scratch up the change. I appreciate it!

I asked him about the kits in 2023 and they were not available anymore
