I like that alot! I thing you may have convinced my to buy and install that setup on the trail rig. Heck it's less than the local shop quotes for a new exhaust and that doesn't include a header.

haha, thanks!

If I were to do it again, I'd probably get at ceramic coated header, just so that you don't get all dpressed after seeing the paint flake off a brand new header you just spent $180 on but it's not big deal to me, like I said, I kinda expected something like that to happen; I mean comon, the header was less than $200...

really nice quality in the cat-back kit though! I think my decision to go cat-less is probably what made the install a little harder, but leaving it out I didn't have to cut any piping or anything; just bolted right up

I got a quick question for you guys...

Ok, see the center hole, between the two studs that are in the middle between cylinders 2 and 3 on the bottom row of studs...



Is there suppose to be a bolt there?

The reason I ask is this is on my old OEM replacement manifold there was in fact a hole there, but I never placed a bolt there. Now on this header there's also a hole in the same place, and upon first install I didn't place a bolt there either:



Well I just tracked down leak already, and guess where it was coming from... THAT HOLE

So I put a bolt in it:



NO MORE LEAK!

But my question is, wth is this threaded hole suppose to be? Is it just for a stud to bolt the manifold to or what?

If you ever wanted to re- paint the headers , they make spray paint call ,"Flame proof". It's holds up to 1500 Degrees .Lots of colors too. They should sell it at any autoparts store.

sounds good to me

that's the exact stuff I was reffering to

Sounds pretty good!

I hate you say I told you so..... haha!

I hate working on exhaust systems though, Id rather take it to a shop. Im trying to replace the muffler and tailpipe on my 4runner.... I think I might be able to finish this 3 week project tomorrow
