I agree with the awesome sound, I had numerous people as me if I had swapped a V8 into it when they would hear it idle...the lope from the TRD Cam didnt hurt either...

Hi. Sorry I didn't get back on this with a post. Jerald at Toyota of Dallas (TRDparts4u) got back to me but unfortunate has no info to add. Said he spoke with folks at TRD but they couldn't provide any specs. He also said "It has actually superceded to a PTR10-34840-14. Show only 3 remaining in united states" Not sure what that means exactly but I will try to talk to him this week. I know if you put in the part # at trdparts4u or at 1sttoyotaparts it does bring up a listing.



I think it depends on who you ask. I've read a couple places that say the stock manifold is as good as any aftermarket header (but I can't remember the sites I read this stuff at) Others claim big improvement with a header. I've never really seen any science to back up either stance. Might just be personal preference.

you'll get the most bang for the buck out of it. you can even get a 2.25" muffler in/out(easier to find) and any good exhaust shop can downsize the pipe.

yup, i dont run a cat on my 22r. dont think it sould matter about a 22re. i think you have to make sure you dont take off any O2 sensors. i believe that kills gas mileage? dont know. someone will correct me if im wrong. just get a buddy that has a grinder or an electric saw and chop it off. or use a jig saw, whatever. i'd take it off if it wasnt legal. here in cali its law and im not running one shhhhhhhhhhhhh... am i correct that a cat robs you of horses? i believe its quite a bit. and you'll get louder vroom vroom

coooray

can the downey header be bolted directly to the stock exhaust system?? id like to start with a header and then add a cat and muffler later when i get more money...

AH64ID

Yes it can, I had this setup before going with my cat back (well kinda, I had no cat)

And as far cats, if you are running a newer cat, with newer technology they really dont rob to many hp, if any. Espically when you look at the fine that comes with not running one. I didn't run one on my 95 and hated it, sounds, stink...I am putting a hi-flow on my 92.

I highly reccommend the LCE Header and exhaust system. I am running the header and the cat-back system. The piping is bent for 4WD so to put it in my 2WD required some heating, bending, cutting, and a little welding. The functionality is great, 5th gear pulls the hills better. Watch out though, it seems to have cost me 2-3mpg. Then again I am always in the throttle.

I am not a big fan of how it sounds. When I bought it they were offering two sizes of converters (they started emmissions testing here in sept.). I got the small one, wish I had got the bigger one, I feel the small one is choking the power and sound a little bit. But no matter to me, I like function over form. Now I want the rest of the power package, the cam and the throttle body.

I also installed their double timing chain kit. Its more noisy but it seems a hell of a lot more durable than the ÅÅÅÅ it replaced...

LCE is an awesome company.

I am supprised the whole setup cost you MPG, I saw great improvments with my downey and flowmaster, but then again...when I wanted to I threw my foot down for the sound.

darth brian

same here. after a few mods to my exaust i lost some mpg but i probably driver differently for the awesome roar.

I have thge thorley header and it has had no problems for the 2 years that I have had it on. I saw a mileage increase and it feels more powerful.
