Oooooh.......Ahhhhhhh.......



How much do you expect install to run you?

 

Sweet! Install is a breeze on the I4 2.7.

 

man i wish i knew, my friend has a mechanic that is dad has trusted for years so im gonna see how much he quotes me. seeing as how i only have the 4 banger, they only go on one side, so that might cut down on costs

what would you expect to pay?

u think i should try and do it myself? i know Jeff Mosk over on ODW has a write up. the only problem im worried about is i have to weld the collector to the cat because the cats on 4runners dont have a flange, the pipe just goes straight into the cat.

Sweet! I'm jealous. You should send in a sound sample to the Exhaust page that Corey has. There are no 4cylinders on there! Do you have the rest of your exhaust opened up? Also, keep us informed on performance gains.

 

good idea, maybe i could do a before and after type thing. right now all i have is a Dynomax muffler, it sounds pretty good for a 4 banger I think
i will keep you guys informed on performance gains as i hope to see something!

hey casey, if i were you I would have the cat cut off from the down pipe and have an exhaust shop weld on a flange to the cat. That way if you wanted to put in a high flow cat or even remove the header it is not attached. I am probably going to get the LCE header also. www.sdtrux.com is going to do my install. If you cant find a good shop they might be worth your hour and a half drive.

 

hey Nolan, how much will they charge me for the install of it? im thinking of just doing it myself and then taking it somewhere to get the cat welded to the headers

-Casey

 

Well when i first bought my truck it had the cracked manifold. I just replaced the manifold, DOH i am kicking myself for not getting the header, and they charged me $150 for the install. So i think they would charge the same, probably more if you are going to have them modify the downpipe.

 

shouldnt it be 3 and 3?

oh wait,you have 2.7

just messin with ya bro. hell, your 2.7 I4 is better than my 3.0 V6
