NEED NEW HEADERS any cheaper options then jba or dirty deeds? Still looking for high quality.

I just realized JBA has Dyno results on their website with their short tubes and exhaust. I wonder what the results would be with just the headers. They don't have dyno results listed for long tubes.

Getting new studs and lock nuts from Toyota tomorrow then i will start the install. Yeah i wonder what my Gibsons would give preference wise ?

 

It’s weird it’s only on the upper outer two on the Primary.

 

Yeah that's how they come originally from Gibson though i made sure

 

Done easy install glad i did it. I could not spin my tires on a dry road before i can now lol

 

Nice. How many beers?

 

Install 0 came home from work and finished in the dark was to excited to even take a break lol

 

Great job! Glad you went with oem studs and locking nuts. Did you end up using the gaskets that came with the headers?

 

Yeah i used the new ones they were very nice

 

When you removed them, did you go for the nuts or the studs, or which let loose first? Also any PNs for the studs and nuts?

 

Here is my uninstall i made a forum on it.

I initially i spreyed them was going for the nuts but that ended up being as waste of time. So with the rest of them i didnt lube spray anything and went for the nuts and they backed the studs out.

 

I got OEM studs and lock nuts

 

My steering column seal had a tear in it. I was able to reach up from laying on my back and squeeze some acrylic caulk around the seal partial torn lips. This is an option for those not wanting to disconnect column and replace the seal. Cheap fix at .10c with the caulk.

 

Just read through this thread which popped up during my ban time. Great info. Summarizing:

1) JBA shorties are good!

2) Use JBA included gasket.

3) Buy Toy OEM Studs and Bolts.

 

Gibson Shorties look good. I’ll check their site.

 

There was mixed responses on this one. Keith from DD told me to use JBA gaskets with his long tubes. Most everyone else says to use Toyota OEM gaskets. Apparently Percy gaskets are also good.

 

For JBA shortys, the supplied collector gaskets are good to go. For the header gasket, I went with percy’s seal 4 good 66080 on the recommendation of fellow users. The oem stud/lock nut combo works really well. No need for constant retorque.

 

Ye. I’m reviewing and saw some complaints on the JBA ‘cardboard gasket’ sucking. I’ll go down this Percys route on some research tomorrow. Thanks for this.

Guessing I should order some OEM bolts for both the flanges connections going to the middle pipes? Mine look rusty and crusty. Might need to grind down and punch those old ones out.

 

I am seeing 483.00 am I looking at the right thing?

I’m liking the Made in USA Doug Thorley Ceramic Coated. Currently sold out due to ‘Stemillus’ and everyone sitting around the house collecting checks with nothing to do but fix their fences and work on trucks.

 

So dive deep and look into them, I remember a big thread on them with the v8runners(4.7l as wel) I didn’t read all of the thread as some of its new and I haven’t been active there for a while

 

Read the first two pages and then skipped to the pre-prompted feelgood pivotal post #160. Continued on to the last two pages and feel let down on shit scam products. WTF is going on with everyone and crap labor skills and products?

Makes me want to go tighten my 18 year old manifold nuts and call it a day!

 

I love the gibsons I got try and find a deal
