JBA short tubes vs OEM Manifold Replacement?

The ticking is starting to drive me crazy and I think it’s causing my p0420 and p0430. Yes, I replaced O2 sensors with denso, air filter, cleaned throttle body, new maf, and steering shaft seal.

I’m just pricing things out and it looks like I can get oem manifolds for a bit cheaper with the 25% off sale going at serra.

17376-50010 x2 SAIS airtube Gasket

All that comes out to $730 shipped from Serra Toyota. Am I missing anything? I’m going to try to reuse the heat shields and also they aren’t available. I feel like something has got to be off here? I always remember people saying oem manifolds are crazy expensive and headers are half the cost.

JBA shorties run around $900 and then I’d still have to spend around $200 or so on oem studs and mls gaskets. So it would be $1100 before install.

Curious yalls thoughts that have either used headers in 05-06 tundra or replaced with stock manifold. I will probably pay someone to do the labor. What can I expect labor wise? Around $1000? I’ve done timing belt, rack and pinion, suspension, etc, by myself. But I don’t want to deal with the nightmare of exhaust studs.

 

I didn't believe it, so I copied and pasted into worldtoyota.com parts and I came up with the same! Discounted from $1408! Order that shit now! Even if it's a $1000 install bill, you're doing good, IMO.

 

Also, you know you're never going to have issues with OEM. These trucks are sensitive to aftermarket pieces. A little more noise isn't worth the possible headaches for the JBAs.

 

I didn’t think you could even get those. Cool.
