Definitely interested. Any idea of price range, is a y-pipe included, O2 sensor mount in the y-pipe, y-pipe at least 2-1/4" where it meets the cat hopefully. Cool, keep us up to date.

fnrunner,
Count me in! I'm DEFINATELY interested. I'd prefer a bare set (no chrome, no paint, no ceramic)...but, I'll take whatever they have. Also, like some others have asked....do they come with a Y-pipe? What's the tube sizes on these? And will they be CARB certified?
Thanks,
Phil

Wow!! This is great news!! I am VERY into getting a set of these, NWOR has NEVER been an option - - and while Downey has been good to deal with -- I have just held off on getting headers from them so far.
Carb/Smog legal!! Ceramic would be awesome - - I hope that the fit may be a little better than Downey's - I am fine with a body lift - - but not one would be cool too.
Can anyone get on Thorely's website? He may not have anything posted there yet - - but I just wanted to check it out.

They will be CARB/SMOG legal & should have EGR & O2 hook up.
Their other headers (like 20R/22R- p/n THY-555Y) are available with chrome or ceramic so I'm guessing these will be too.
They are using Downey's system as a guide as they own the Downey line now. & will make improvements as required. I will ask about the "y" pipe & how it will be routed - from what I've seen the NWOR "y" pipe seems to be the best since it crosses after the t-case. Correct me if I'm wrong though!!
They already offer a cat-back system for the 3.0.

i'd like to see their HP numbers...
my downey headers didnt do jack.
okay, granted i had them installed same time i did a tranny swap and a marlin dual cases installed... but still..
if the numbers say 20+ HP increase (over stock POC crossover, heavy metal exhaust manifold), i'd gladly dump my downey headers...

Im in if the price is right! Ive been thinking about the Downeys but really really really dont want to do the install, I wonder if it is just as easy to yank the engine out to install them? NEED MORE INFO!

Yep, word is a '95 4Runner w/5spd will be in the Thorley shop on Mon. 8/1/05 for fitment. Apparently this will take about a week to do.I'll keep you all posted if anything changes.
