Anyone interested in purchasing what appears to be a good set of headers for the Tundra tuned to the 1500 to 3000 RPM range? If so, e-mail me as if we can get 20 people interested, we can get in on a group purchase from S&S for $799 a pair. Here's the site: https://ssl5.mysecureserver.com/boss...namicIndex.asp
Tundra Solutions has a group purchase going on over there for the same set of headers at the $799.00 price but it's only for club members. A club member pays a fee for the privilege of giving and receiving advice on that site and it now appears that they have just upped the ante on the registered members (non-paying members, like us on the Yotatech and 4X4 wire sites) by contacting venders and trying to arrange group purchase discounts for club members only. I received an E-mail from S&S stating other forums could do the same so I'm posting here and at 4X4 wire to see if there's 20 people on the two sites who want to part with $799 plus shipping for a set of headers. I would think these headers would also fit on a Sequoia but we won't know that until S&S Headers actually fits one up.

 

O.K., now that you brought it up...

Tell us why we should go with S&S and not TRD.

PRICE?
WARRANTY?
EASE OF INSTALLATION?
CERTIFICATION?


I may be interested in putting headers on my Tundra some day and would like the facts before I spend a penny.

BTW, I have TRD's on my T100.
Aside from the JUNK gaskets that came in the box, they are perfect.

I just posted to see if anyone was currently interested in purchasing long tube headers. Individuals will have to determine what they want from the headers relative to performance. Here are a couple of sites for those needing a little more information on headers.

http://www.ssheaders.com/header.htm

The S&S Tundra headers are designed to give a little more performance in the lower RPM range whereas; most other headers on the market provide a little gain in the upper RPM range, such as the TRD. Basically, a longer header tubes with a smaller diameter will give a little hp gain in the lower rpm range while shorties sometimes hurt your low-end response while providing a little more power near the top of your useful RPM range. It all comes down to where one wants the slight gain - upper rpm range or lower RPM range. For us with larger tires or when towing, we want the benefit in the lower RPM range - For people who run 4.88's or 5:12's they will want the gain in the upper RPM range. I think the TRD's need welding (I could be wrong about that as I remember reading it somewhere but I haven't actually talked to anyone that has them) whereas the S&S's are bolt-ons.

 

Thanks for the great information.
