Group buy for Doug Thorley PREMIUM VERSION headers, need 20 people!

[Inv4drZm]

I was under the impression that they are for a 2003 V8... Feeling really stupid and frantically reading up on what exactly you are talking about. Will have to take a good look at them tomorrow in the light.

They appear to be for a 2003 or 2004 model, you should be good.

Thanks man. Yeah had to look last night what SAIP meant. 2003 & 2004 V8 don’t have the secondary air injection pump.

Also read a pretty comical conversation some other guys had a while hashing the V6 vs V8 debate. That was posted in 2011.

Pretty amazing it’s 2020 and now there’s badass improvements like this coming out.

Just got everyone installed today. I'm letting the car cool atm so I can torque it a 2nd time. For some of you guys, you might have to bend the oil check tube like i did to get the bolt to line up. Besides that, with the midpipes, manifolds and exhaust, it sounds very loud and throaty when revving it at idle. I'll take it for spin tomorrow to see how differently it feels.

@old_man_millenial on Instagram: “Snows here! #toyota #4runner #trd #V8 #toyotanation #dougthorleyheaders #magnaflowexhaust #scswheels #doughnuts #snownuts #4runnernation…”

Got mine swapped out. There’s a short clip of the sound on my Instagram at the link I’ve copied above. Here’s some pictures of the old shorties too. I’m glad this went somewhere and people are getting a premium product. I will say the anger came back a bit when I payed to get the long tubes installed though. Glad it’s over.

 

[alanpikku]

Wow, that corrosion is horrible. Do you feel a power difference between the short vs long runners?

 

[Marfy]

I want to say yes, but I’m sure it’s more of a honeymoon phase. It feels good though. Sounds nice too!

Ran some errands today & took my bride to lunch. We both agree it's actually quieter at 55 cruise than it was before the LT's & Y pipe. The power improvement is very noticable (seat of the pants) & it sounds really good.

I’m having a hard time dealing with everyone that’s already got theirs installed while I’m waiting for hardware – ahhhhh!! I’d almost rather not have the headers yet cause they’re taunting me in my garage every evening...

The suspense is killing me!

Well if it's any consolation, I will probably have to pull the 2UZ because of the tower gussets and dual shocks limiting my access to the bolts. Didn't think it through very well.

 

[xavier847]

I got my shorty headers, high flow cats and O2 sensor hardware, but I'm waiting until better weather to do the job.

How many bolts have people broken when pulling them out?

Anyone have contact information for Titanium Works? They don’t seem to have anything aside from social media contact. I’d like to get a better idea how much longer until hardware is ready. Just seems like they’d be able to have machined these by now.

 

[Jason B]

Great pics in here!

Hardware for those who haven’t got shoot me message at 717-319-2100 with your shipping zip and I’ll check.

I ended up resurrecting my seldom used instagram to get in contact with them. Looks like Jason has you covered though.

I broke 0. But it's also an Arizona car.

My headers, y etc rolled in on Saturday, just before a snow storm.....good timing!

Just need the titanium hardware and then see about install.

Bruno and Belle approved the box. They wish the dakota had headers this nice!

Nothing yet. Last I heard on Jan 8th, Jason said "Hope about a week" so right now all I can base my install timing on is "hope".

Thanks Jason for putting this together! My 08 will also be seeing some more time down the 1/4 mile this year.......its been down it I think over 1,000 times over the years and is likely the only 4runner in the world which has competed at a National Drag Race(it the the 08 IHRA National event in Epping New Hampshire, MOD class)

With the addition of the headers, y pipe, either the Thorley or the URD(have both), and the sprint booster also purchased from Jason, complimenting the URD cat back system, old faithful, the 08 might, just might even get into the 14's this year.....will see.

Of course all the additions will not hurt it MPG, and towing up to a 24 foot enclosed trailer from time to time.

Note: Re the headers, again we should all be very thankful for Jason's work, custom headers, with 304 materials are thousands of dollars to get made.3k for my challenger....at least one off......not hundreds.....custom stuff takes what it takes for time and money, if you can even get it done.

Let's see some pics/vids!

I didn't get in on the Titanium hardware kit. Do I need it? If not, what else can I use to replace the stock stuff. ARP or something like that? Anyone have part numbers?

Thanks in advance.

 

[LT1coupe]

I reused the stock hardware, but I'm in AZ and had no corrosion issues
