Manifold Replacement Help: Headers???

[GrnMtnRngr]

Hey, I'm new to my 4runner, and likewise to this forum... I just picked up a 96 SR5.. It's a little bit of a dump, but the frame is solid and the drivetrain only has 101k on it.. i'm starting to like it.. I might just keep this one for a while....

The Exhaust manifold is pretty rusted, and the gasket is ALL GONE... I'm losing all my exhaust pressure, and I'm assuming this is causing the cylinders to share back pressure.. For a fairly young engine with over 150 psi. of compression, it feels pretty gutless...

I'm looking for headers instead of a replacement manifold, but everywhere I look I find headers that claim to fit 96 tacoma's with the same engine, but not 4Runners.. What gives?? Does anyone make a 4runner specific set of v6 headers??

They are all for the trucks but they can fit in the 4runners.

Just finished installing TRD headers on my 3.4 4runner... - YotaTech Forums

The only other thing that may be a little different is dependemt on your cat setup. My 96 non CA model has the y pipe built into tbe cat inverter pipe therefore alot of the headers wont bolt directly to it bevause they have the y pipe in the crossover secrion of the exhaust. Just a heads up that it may npt be a direct bolt on, or may need some further modification.
