well my headers are for 95-98 tacomas but these have been modified for my truck. they are from HotShot performance and i got them from Pann motorsports in mira mesa lol. they cost me 300 or so. i hope this helps =)

 

[95taco]

do headers does really help for tacoma??? i am looking LC headers you think this one is good headers??? what you mean modified for your truck???

 

[4BangerTaco]

getting headers improved my performance dramatically. i felt less of the low end torque but my gain in higher rpms is killer. for example when i just had my intake and exhaust my friend would always pull on me in higher rpms. his car is a civic Si and these things are ferocious on the high end and was keeping up with him with my headers installed! i read up on the LC headers and i think that they are worth giving a shot, because of all the success they had on the 22R.

oops - i modified the header because it was for a 95-98 tacoma all i had to do is plug up the EGR valve flange on the last pipe on the header

 

[95taco]

what exhaust do you have??? sorry if i am asking questions, i am shopping around for all this stuff.

 

[tacomaspeed]

I had the lc headers be for my turbo install they added about 12hp at the wheels . They look good too , not to mention they are stainless steel (ceramic coated ) rather than aluminium

 

[95taco]

ok thanks dude!!!

 

[95taco]

thanks, i am really looking for a header i even try to get downey headers but i like LC b/coz it was ceramic coated and its bolt-on. i want to do it all myself no money for labor.

 

[tacomaspeed]

hold up , you may want to think about getting a tech involved .....i have a freind that owns a race shop dedicated to import and they had a hard time with the install do to the smog fitting leaking . Call lc and ask them

 

[95taco]

i called them and one of the representative said its bolt-on no problem. i know what you mean, i think it was one of the sensor by the down pipe. was it???? and i called the toyota performance down in AZ. they said same thing. give me more info about this please b4 i buy headers i want to install it with no problem. thanks

 

[tacomaspeed]

first off who is toyota performance in az....Well i dont know if they are all going to be this way but, the problem on mine was the mog fitting ...you will be able to install them np however you may need some one to alter the smog pipe so it does not leak . Dont let that stop you i ran mine with the leak for a month before my performance shop fixed it .

 

[95taco]

the shop i called TCR Automotive Tucson, AZ. 520-747-0563 this shop is a authorized dealer for LC parts and installer. i think the kit for 95 tacoma headers comes with a down pipe to connect directly to catylic converter.

 

[95taco]

how do you know if the exhaust/headers have leak???

 

[lowtaco98]

Im brandt from Tennessee. I have a 98 Taco pic of it to the left.........to many mods to list.

 

[4BangerTaco]

with my exhaust leak i can just straight out smell it. i dunno if that helps but...... =)

El prototypes have a header for your truck (I do not know if it is a 2rz or 3rz). They are here in cali (Azusa near l.a) They do some really nice work in their shop. If you have any questions call them up at (626) 812-4358 and ask for Eric (the owner) or you can send him an email at [email protected] . Tell him Ivan sent you.

What's the difference between tri-Y and 4 into 1 collection? Is one better than the other?

 

[4BangerTaco]

to be honest i have no idea besides the selection of headers out there is very minimal =( so anything is better than stock.
