Hey yotatech, I'm wondering what are my options as per headers for a 22R motor. Which ones are worth looking into and which ones aren't worth the money?

 

I may hear backlash from this, because people are going to tell you to get the LCE header. However, I say get whatever one you like. Your options are (mainly) Pacesetter, Downey, LCE, and the Trail Gear "Rock Ripper" headers. But here's the part I'll hear backlash from. They all perform the same, besides the fact that the Downey is a 4-2-1 manifold, or so I hear. But, I don't think the LCE header is any better than a Pacesetter, but it is twice the price! Google search for a 22-R header and those options will come up. I don't particularly know any other trusted names in headers for the 22R

 

This is the part I was answering in my roundabout way. They're all the same. In MY opinion, and my mechanics. And the exhaust shop guy. And the mechanic he said I should use. They all said they all perform the same. A performance header is a performance header. Just install it correctly.

EDIT
And buy new manifold hardware from Toyota. Don't use that rusty crap that's on there.
