toyota stopped selling them, so the only way you are going to find them now is used or NOS, but i think its either jba or downey who made them for trd(could be wrong though)
i saw the jba's and i only found 1 review and it wasnt good at all.. fitment issues.. and the downey headers i will never find ... thorley headers are super expensive and those obx headers it seems everybody has bad reviews but yet nobody's had them before.. its always "just heard" reviews.. and it sucks the trd's are so hard to find

I could be wrong, but I think Thorley made the TRD's... And Borla the exhaust...

TRD discontinued the TRD headers for the 3.4l and they have also discontinued the TRD super charge kit.

The headers I can skip but I'd still like to get the TRD S/C. Hopefully I can find a good used one when the time comes
Any bad review of obx is not a review of these actual headers. Obx is good stuff, equally as good as trd. Theres nothing special about the trd headers.
that might be your opinion ronMaiden.. everybodys entitled to one.. but that seems to be the myth on this forum that headers are a waste of money for these motors and headers dont really do anything for na motors... which i can tell you having owned 3 LS1's and being huge into modifications and performance parts for camaro's.. is totally wrong.. with good headers like the kooks long tube headers LS1's can gain up to 12-15hp. Thats serious horsepower left out on the table. while headers might be more beneficial for certain motors than others, they still benefit the motor.. yes i know headers are a pain in the arse to put on these motors, but im willing to put in the time for a maybe a 5-6hp.. and im talking at the crank not the wheels.. im not looking to make this thing as fast as an LS1.. but to gain 1 or 2 mpg while gaining a little bit of horse with it is worth it to me, especially considering the aftermarket for these motors is slim to almost none. i know just doing headers and having a stock exhaust will just almost defeat the purpose of the headers, which is what i think allot of people on here do, just bolt up some headers to a restrictive oem exhaust and then complain the headers didnt do anything...but my point is headers are worth it, you dont need a supercharger if your going to put on headers, and yes headers are beneficial to just about any internal combustion engine out there....not all...but most
Dous - ive been reading on guys bashing the welds on these headers, being a welder the welds look more than decent for stainless steel but i know the constant heating and cooling does do damage to welds.. or any metal for that matter..... that and fitment issues have been brought up... did those obx's bolt right up?

If you do in fact go ahead and install new headers and exhaust, please update this thread so we can keep some info going in one place.
There's so much crap on this forum scattered around... I swear it's the worst board I'm on in that regard. I like the people, but the info is all over the place.....
wow.. well thank you brilliant for that post... its nice to see some real evidence and not just "i heard"... when i order my stuff i will update it with my results... i hope everybody that posted on here saying headers dont do anything looks at this and realizes it doesnt say "supercharger" on the top
