Lc Headers

Hi!

I´m going to buy a LC Engineering ceramic coated headers to my V6 3VZ

Someone had used it in his V6? Do you know HP win?

Please, all things you can tell me will be important, I ought to decide between LC and Thorley headers, and I´d like to know if 240$ LC more expensive will be interested or no

Thanks, and please excuse my english

I only have experience with the 4 cylinder version. But I was pleased enough with the performance of my LCE header that I felt compelled to recommend them. Good company to deal with.

I have the LCE street header kit you are looking at. I don't know about horsepower gain since my truck isn't running yet, but they fit very well. Lots of room around the starter. It is a pretty complete kit. If you have an auto you will have to relocate the transfer case cooler (as usual) and tie up some wires to keep them away from the heat.

They did take a long time to ship mine but hopefully they have a bunch in stock now. If you need them fast make sure you ask cuz mine took a couple months to get out to me.

Thanks you very much

My doubt is betwwen 800$ ceramic LCE and 550$ chrome Thorley, becuse I dont know if LCE is really too much better, or HP gain is almost the same in both

In fact I´m only interested in HP and torque gain, appearance isn´t important to me.

I ordered the thorely headers because it comes as a whole kit and it was $569 with free shipping.and i was wondering if the small radiator.(i think its the power steering cooler or tranny cooler but i dont know.) on the passenger side of the transmission that is bolted to the frame has to be relocated because it looks like it will be in the way of the headers. post picks of the headers if you can.

I am not 100% sure of the Thorley headers, but I would imagine the transfer case cooler would have to be relocated. I have the LCE street header kit and the cooler was in the way. We just made up a plate that we could weld the original mounting piece to. It basically just shifts it 2" back, which is enough for the LCE headers. No pics yet because it is still in the works.
