I guess I missed the gaskets in the box. I will look for them when I get home. Anyone in the DMV having this done?
:wave: Just got my set in NoVA.
Ordered a set of headers and three MagnaFlow universal cats from Burtman and they shipped the following day. He was extremely responsive via text and provided superb service. His pricing is also unheard of. I will for sure be contacting him before I purchase anymore parts for the 4runner.
Glad to help. Looking forward to your thoughts on the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde transformation after you get it all on!

Anyone else that wants to get in on this, now is the time. I'm not 100% sure how long Thorley is going to let me do this deal. I think another week or so maybe. After this deal is done, these headers will be $749! Again, my guy Mike at Thorley said these should ship around the 29th of this month. ALSO, I CAN THE MAGNAFLOW/FLOWMASTER CATS/MUFFLERS for anyone at great prices.

Hey were the 03-04 headers supposed to come with the gaskets? I don't see them in the box.
For 03-04, the instructions say to reuse the factory gaskets. For 03-04 Toyota used multi-layered steel gaskets that are really really good. This is done the same for the Tacoma and others, and you reuse.
For 05-09 the factory used crappy gaskets that CANNOT be reused and replacements are given with 05-09. Again, if you are not provided the gaskets the instructions will state to reuse the factory. If those need to be replaced then you can acquire them from me.

Mine came with gaskets.
Mines in the shop, they are trying to source new bolts. My original bolts are in rough shape. [MENTION=9]Jason B[/MENTION] contacted doug thorley for me to request they either start including bolts or at least offer it as an option.Didn't get mine in the box either (2004) but I just ordered new ones anyway, with new nuts/bolts, etc. having a true dual exhaust put on and they recommended to replace the studs/bolts and gasket regardless.
Where do you plan on getting the install done? I was thinking about high tech auto but it's really far from Arlington and only open weekdays.
Kind of disappointing they don't come with new bolts/studs like just about every other set of headers or exhaust manifolds...
For the price we're getting the headers at I can live with it. I ordered OEM gaskets from Toyota Online Parts | toyotaonlineparts.com | Toyota Parts Online for $29 although I'm sure Burtman can get you a deal on those too. He also sold me 3 MagnaFlow 54956 high flow cats and a MagnaFlow 12256 18" muffler that I'm fabbing together a complete system with. I'll post up pics of the install this weekend.
I'm doing the install myself at a buddy's shop in Fredericksburg. He is doing all the welding and fabrication and I'm handling the removal and install. I can ask him if he's available to do another one in the near future and what it would cost if you'd like.
Dealer didn't have any in stock, got lucky with a parts store but they were a couple mm short. I'd order early from dealership of see if someone like ARP has any.I guess I got lucky, here is a pic with the part number if anyone needs it. Not sure if this is the Toyota number or Doug Thorleys. Also where are you guys getting the studs/nuts or bolts from? Just the dealer or any where cheaper?
