TRD headers
I might be upgrading my truck to a 3.4L by trading in my 2.7L. I am considering having the dealer throw on the TRD headers and add it in with the financing. The guy at the dealer said $140 to install, and he wasn't sure about the header price. That seems very cheap compared to what I've found searching around, so I expect it to cost more. So who has some feedback? Yes, I searched first. If my master plan pans out, I will keep the truck normally aspirated. Start with headers, then as time goes on a new muffler. A 6" deckplate will get thrown on the intake right away, and probably an Amsoil filter.

$140 is normal with the engine out of the truck. It would be a piece of cake with the engine out. Could you do it?
Todd (TOR) said he could get the headers for $700 shipped. That's a pretty good deal. Another option is Downey or Edelbrock, which are significantly cheaper.
Ceramic Downeys are about $430.

Hey 96. I read alot of your posts about this same topic, TRD headers vs others. have you chosen one yet? THat's good to hear that $140 sounds decent for installation, I hope they stick to that if I go through with it. the service guy actually gave me guess for the header price that seemed rediculously cheap for TRD, so I didn't even put it in my first post for fear of ridicule! But the guy said he looked into headers for his Tundra and thought they were around $600, So the V6 ones should be cheaper. I can only hope for that, though... If I can get this new truck, I think I will add the headers into my finance and be hooked up right off the bat. I don't really want to try installing them myself, even though I'm "moderately" mechanically inclined. I don't have access to a shop for a DIY project. Today is the last day of the big Toyota sale, but the salesman assured me I can still lock in at a great rate if they find me a truck. (of course he would say that)

I got the part cost, $900+. That's what I figured. I'm not doing it, the V6 will just have to be enough for me.... haha, I'm so pumped I'm getting a new truck!

Are you getting the exact same thing (X-cab Taco)?
Hope it works out for you!
$900 + $140 Install has you at $1,040. If the S/C go on sale like they did in Nov last year, you will only need to fork out $650 above what the headers would have been, and you would have a lot more power!
