I'm probably in at the 20 people price.

 

Those look like more of a 1/2" flange at the head than 3/8"!! Wow, that ceramic looks awesome!!

 

I think I'm in at the 20 person price on ceramics... GOD I WANT THESE SOOOO BAD!!!!!

 

Wow, these are nice looking!

I'd like to know how you are supposed to fish the Thorley crossover pipe between the firewall and over the bellhousing to the other side though. Even with a 1" BL I couldn't salvage the stock crossover during removal during my Edelbrock header install because of the angles and limited space. Like everyone else, I had to sawzall it off.

Looking at the 3.4 Thorley kit picture and knowing what we have to work with in regards to space, I just don't see anyone is going to be able to pull it off.

 

Great question Christian. I forwarded it to Chris.

We only need two more guys for the 15 person price. Almost there gang.

 

if more people signed up would the price drop further? 500$ is alot right now but i might be able to swing it later in the summer.

 

Christian,

With regards to removing the stock cross over, it is often a misconception that you have to cut out the stock one. Without going too much into detail, this is about how the instructions will show:

There are four bolts on the backside on the transmission that are in a yolk. These four bolts must be removed. Once removed take a large and long pry bar and wedge between the engine block and the firewall and gently push the engine forward away from the firewall, this will pretty much drop the unbolted crossover on your toes. That is the key to the crossover. The other is in the design of the driver's side within the loop that was made. This hoop allows the header to slip past the steering column without trouble. And the passenger side will be nothin compared to the others.

i'm guessing this is for 22r's only...no 5vzfe?

edit: nevermind - i'm down.

 

Probably, but not by much more.

Keep in mind that this is for Ceramic and Chrome coated Stainless Steel headers. The TRD ones are stainless steel but are not coated... JBA's coated headers exceed these prices significantly.

 

Who here is interested and has not yet signed up on the CT list?

Just quote this post and add your name to the list.

Information required: Name, Year/Model, Finish, (Ceramic or Chrome), Number of Catalytic Converters, (physically look under the car), EGR status, (most early models have this located on the collector):

Example:
QSVeilside: 2000 4runner, Ceramic, ONE Cat, NO EGR

So far the ones that said they are good to go:

1. rearviewmirror, (profile says you have a 2004 4runner - this deal is for the 3.4L)

2. the gunslinger: 1997 4runner, Finish?, CATS?, EGR?

 

I dont have the cash right now to throw down for a set, but when the trigger gets pulled on the GB I should.

Whats the difference between the single cat and dual cat headers? Does the single cat headers have a "cat delete" to take the place of the forward cat on dual cat rigs? That way they only have to make set of headers and add a extra length of tube for the single cat rigs?

 

Ya Im pretty sure that is correct, cuz he has the egr and the non egr set so it should just be the cat-delete to fill in the rest.

 

So if I get a set for a single cat rig, and my next rig ends up being dual cat, I can unbolt the front cat delete and run them?

 

There is an extended pipe that connects the Y-pipe to the cat.

"There are actually a few differences EGR and non-EGR. The EGR comes with an entirely new custom EGR tube and accompanying hardware. As it was stated before, there is also the extended tube where the first cat would be on the NON-EGR. The cost of the EGR version will be a little more due to the extra materials and labor."

 

i'd want coated. i didn't SEE any EGR, and I have 1 cat & an o2 sensor on the Y-pipe.

 

EDIT:

EGR BUNG SHOWN ON DRIVER's SIDE:

 

No just cuz he has one cat doesnt mean its egr.

 

I was referring to what the gentleman called an "O2 sensor" on the Y-pipe. The prototype and production model installed on Chris' truck has the EGR on the Y-pipe, (shown clearly in the pictures).

The earlier models, (96, 97, 98), tend to have EGR. the gunslinger has a 97.

I'll forward the comments over to Chris to make certain.

 

Whoever wants the 20 person price that has not signed up yet, post.

This group buy will be coming to a close soon. Chris will wait until the 20 person target is hit.

"The headers will start production within the next week or so, all the flanges and materials have been ordered."

 

"Another forwarded question from YT... I told him he has an EGR.

"the gunslinger - i'd want coated. i didn't SEE any EGR, and I have 1 cat & an o2 sensor on the Y-pipe."

Correct me if I am wrong please."

RESPONSE:

"Correct, if he has a single cat and is below the years of 99.5, then they are typically EGR. But this is never 100% true, so look for the EGR valve on the side of the intake manifold."
