I'm in the market for headers for my new ride, '95 4runner 3.slo
It's getting a new engine, cammed, OS valves, etc. 190 hp/210ft @ 4800, in a couple weeks so while I'm at it........
I'll be doing the rest of the exhaust later.
Saw Doug Thorley and Downey make'em.
New, used?

Who's got what?
Thanks

Not sure if you will see a big difference with headers on a 3.0

 

go with thorley

 

definitely thorley headers. total quality. I love mine
if you're looking for an exhaust too they offer a killer deal coupled with the jardine exhaust. I wouldn't get the jardine muffler tho, I'd go with magnaflow or flowmaster

 

do any of those work with the auto?

 

I have downey on my auto 4runner ....

i have NWOR on my 5speed truck


thorly ones are same as downey.

After having both id go with NWOR due to better design, and materials.

 

Don't some of these headers have heat issues with speed O meter cables and floorboards getting very hot? I suppose they could be wrapped but then you would have a moisture issue.
