As I move into the next stage I need to change the corssover to a drivers drop finally. I was thinking of using TSO but a question.

Are you still able to use the factory downpipe? Do they "flip" the mounting flange so it is still bolt on? Any good pics to post?

 

Ive got mine in the box still if you need me to take a pic. Or are you wanting a pic of it on a rig?

 

by factory downpipe, do you mean the factory 3.4 or the 3.0? if its the 3.4 downpipe, yes it works.

 

Yes the factory 3.4 downpipe. It is still a bolt on? Doesnt the flange on the downpipe have to cut, rotated, and rewelded?

Reason I ask I that I want it to look as factory as posible for future smog inspections.


Post up some pictures please.

 

On a buddy's he just took the crossover off, cut it up, flipped it around, mocked it up and rewelded. Took about 2 hours and works like a charm.

:wabbit2:

 

look at his... https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f160...runner-223604/

 

Ya I saw that. I have no interest in making my own though. My welding skills suck.

thanks

 

I ordered from them, and it worked out great. I'm using the driveside drop, and passed the bar perfect with it. The flange is flipped the corect way to work with the factory down pipe.

 

THANKS!!!!!! Geeez, i though this would be a 10 minute question with as many people that have ordered these things. Thanks for the answer!!!

 

so making the crossover drop to drivers side will still pass bar?


dntsdad: I guess the guy in Fresno is just a real PIA!

 

Just by the book!!! I think that its the "book" the is a PIA

 

I passed the San Diego Ref, with the driverside drop! The only thing they are looking for is disconnected sensors, cat carb legal to engine etc... the guy didn't care which side it came down from.

 

can someone post up a pictures, or pictures, of a TSO crossover installed WITH the factory downpipe using the stock O2 sensors and CAT?

I wanna take a peek before buying.

 

They have pictures on their site of the crossover. They're a very reliable company. No doubt i'll be buying a crossover from them.

 

Yup! Those guys are very helpful!!!

A lil ways down is the pic of the crossover they built for me before they even had their website. I contacted them just through a craigslist ad, actually. I don't have the vehicle here or internet on my comp right now, so I can't get you a picture of the stock o2's or cat, but on that same page there I have the finished exhaust pics, you can see the original 3.4 pipe welded to the new. Mine's the stock to the 2nd o2 and cat from a '00 Tacoma, for reference.

Pull the trigger and buy it. Now that Downey's out of business, I've given up hope of headers, and their piece is well built.
