2020 Performance headers + TRD Exhaust question

Hi everyone... so I have a 2020 with TRD exhaust.
I’m looking for headers with connection pipe/with cat to be a bolt-on application.
So far I found only the AFE Twisted Steel ones.
Do any others have the long tube headers with connection pipe with cat to be bolt-on to my TRD exhaust?

thank you in advance for your time, and help.

 

I would be more concerned there is no tuning available for 20’ trucks.

 

Not even the BullyDog ?

I made an order with Keith at DirtyDeeds and will be receiving the JBA long tubes with their custom made mid-pipes w/high flow cats.

Just wondering what tuning you may be referring to as I’m pretty new to all of this.

 

Bully dog isn’t a real tuner. I’m referring to actually going into the trucks ecu and doing a real tune to adjust fuel trims, timing advance, torque management. You will wind up running lean if you put headers on without a tune. Lean motors is what pops pistons, at a minimum. Will it run without a tune? Yea. Sure. I sure as hell wouldn’t go romping on the truck without a getting wide band though.

 

Bullydog stopped tundra support when Toyota added the TSS in 18.

 

I ran jba long tube headers with no tune for a year about 10k miles with no issues, I recently purchased a bd bdx from @dirtydeeds and now running the trail tune. I didn’t even notice a performance gain from tuner

 

What about OV tune?

 

TSS like the package (TRD, SR5, etc.)?

 

Hello,

I talked to Keith about this thread. He said to give him a call and he can go over some options with you. Please give him a call at 760-877-4234.

Thanks, Shawna, DDI

That will be awesome!

 

You don’t NEED a tune! I have jba LT’s, mid pipes with cats and OEM trd dual tail pipes. Ran that set up with NO tune for a year.

 

Lol no tune required with headers. Dirty deeds race exhaust can be used with no tuning at all. You should be fine afr should be around 12.5 wot.

I think I am doing the “quote” button wrong. That top two paragraphs that looked like mine, were a quote from a user above. I did not order anything new yet.
Thank you.

 

I've been running ARH LT headers and DirtyDeeds 17" TRD replacement exhaust since the beginning of Aug 2020. I'm sure I could gain more performance using a tune and there is a P420/P430 CEL on but, being a 2020, there are no tune options for me. It's pretty loud but I love the tone.

I don't want to thread jack but here is a link to my exhaust sample video:
InTheRough's 2020 SuperPlatinum Build

 

Pickup some 02 de-foulers they fixed my P0420/P0430 codes on my catted ARH setup.

 

What are the noticeable gains with headers on these trucks?

 

Enough for me to take notice when I gave a late model Camaro SS a run for it's money the other night. Thought id be a blowout but he couldn't shake me lol.


My build was slightly biased towards street/strip this time around so headers helped tremendously. Be ready for the added noise along with the power. I can't say I gained MPG as the acceleration is intoxicating and honeymoon still going strong. There are dyno sheets that have been passed around, one day I'll get on one to confirm.

 

I thought I read somewhere the 50-70hp was not uncommon with a set of longtube headers.
They are definitely on my radar but I dont know if I want to deal with the extra noise on a daily driver.
Ive made so much noise in the past... ive learned to appreciate quiet now.

 

As a stand alone item LT headers produce about 30 additional peak hp.

 

That is still a pretty big gain.
Ive done the stock airbox mod, high flow filter, TRD inlet and 2.5" dual exhaust... so overall Id probably see better than 30hp.

 

That's an impressive number. Would compliment a other mods down the road too. Very nice.
