3rz LCE headers- where to buy?

[Suprareal]

i did my searching, my manifold is cracked and im now planning on getting the lce headers or the mini headers some have gone with.
I know the LCE have gone up in price but i was wondering if anyone knew a place to order them cheaper than the website which is $389 plus shipping and a extra 18 for the studs.
or if anyone can point me in the right direction for the mini headers?
thanks guys

Your only other option is used, I've never seen them elsewhere for sale.

It really just comes down to what your plans are... do you want performance parts so you can later complete your whole exhaust or just any replacement?

Mini-header should be available from any junkyard that has 2000+ 4-banger Tacomas/4Runners.

Try going on Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market and search for a 2000 4Runner 4 cyl exhaust manifold, organize by cost and get one shipped right to your door.

take my advice for what it's worth. I redid the whole exhaust from lce header down to the muffler including my intake. I wasn't too impressed with the gain. There was a gain, no doubt on that but I think you'll find that the cost more than outweighs the gain unless you're getting serious on the performance aspect of it.

thanks for the replies guys it helps alot
i took a closer look and its cracked in half, more than i thought.
i deffinatly am not going to replace with another manifold.
im leaning towards the mini header to save money and will check my junkyard and the site above, i want the lce headers but money is making me compromise them.
i just dont want it to sound like a honda under the hood anymore! haha

thanks, my dads a welder and said its almost impossible to make a solid weld on cast that will last so im guna go with mini headers at this poiint

You could go to a custom shop, you'll save on mark up value. Do the mini headers from the 4cyl work on 6cyl, and do you gain from them? i dont understand

as far as i know they do not.
Gain power? i highly doubt it. but upgrading to them is better because you dont have to worry about them cracking as much as the stock cast iron manifold.

worst comes to worst go to crossroads. it's toyota mecca but far as ****. from what i've seen it's definitely worth the trip though just don't bring a ton of money. you'll easily get trigger happy.

On my last 3rz Taco my POS cast manifold cracked in half (no exaggeration) twice. I ended up buying this kit from a Yotatech mod that also works for a local Toyota only scrapyard. Im friends with the guy now and his kit is probably the cheapest you will find a complete mini-header kit. Heres a link if your interested, its cheaper than LCE and you'll notice just about as much HP gain.
