doug thorley headers

[Rc4r]

i want to do exhaust as my next thing to my rig. i have a 1'' bl the headers are labeled as no bl. does this mean i can not run these? if not what are some alternative.

do you have a s/c ? if not headers aren't worth the hassle for the little gain u get

I have to respectfully disagree that they're are indeed worth the effort...sure I could have spent 6 hours drinking beer or something more productive than putting headers in, but the butt-dyno says I picked up some power. Anything is an improvement over the stock manifolds/y-pipe.

I would say that you should plan to do an exhaust and the deckplate mod to really make it worthwhile (I still need to fab up a catback).

you will be able to use those with a BL, it probably says no BL indicating that you dont need a BL to use them... im not sure of the routing of the specific headers you are looking at, but the stock manifold goes over the top of the tranny and between the back of the motor and under the/in front of the firewall, not a lot of room there, but you can get some headers in there, the BL just helps give you more room to work.

taking apart the dash to get the head unit out takes less than 2 min

um... what are you talking about!?

thanks for the info guys.
and the deckaplate would be pointless because I'm buying a k&n Cai.
But I'm doing headers to tips.

What do you all think? Should I go with trd headers or will I see more improvment with the dougs

lol. I was responding with my phone. that comment does not belong in this thread.

FYI - I have a Volant CAI that I'm taking out and going to a deckplate modded stock airbox. Those CAI's make way too much noise, makes the 4Runner sound like it's breaking the land speed record, but instead it's only going about 25mph.

Unless you like tons of intake noise, just do the deckplate mod, you'll thank me later.

 

[Rc4r]

I will keep that in mind Coinball. but I'm 18 so the noise is a plus to me.

if you was closer id trade you straight across for my K&N CAI for your stock set up, im wanting to do a snorkel so i need a "sealed" air box... K&Ns gotta go

were you running the power core filter? i have the same intake and this cuts down the nose a lot thank goodness! and i know were speaking headers here but on a side note ive heard the K&N intake on a tacoma with the same engine as ours, i too have the volant, IMO the volant sounds so much better and cleaner. safer and everything then the K&N plus its the same price

good luck on those headers to the OP it may be something i will do on the list
