Pics of LC Engineering Header installed
Header Pics
Just got the LCE header all dialed in the 4Runner. It took the exhaust shop two tries to create a flange to match up to the header without leaking. Haven't even had a chance for the computer reset to get adjusted yet.

The Header ran me $290 from www.lcengineering.com. The part was backordered for a couple weeks so it took a while to get here. I did the installation myself. If you are looking to install any new header, buy the stud and nut kit ($17) because the stock ones are junk. The install was not too tough, pretty time consuming because of bad angles and bolts in tight places. Once the header was installed, I had to drive it about 10 miles with just the straight header to a local shop to have a flange welded to the header. The truck was incredibly loud, I was sure a noise ticket was coming. I had to keep it under 2k rpm the whole time!
The flange work ran me $50.
On the performance side, I don't know yet. It got put together this morning. Driving home from the exhaust shop it definitely felt like there was more pull from the bottom, didn't have a chance to wind it up really. Upon getting home I reset the EFI and OBD which takes about an 1 hour to calibrate after doing that. Because of the reset it is running pretty rough. I will take it out later today and report my findings back. I am looking forward to it.
As for the rest of the exhaust, I already had a high flow cat, flowmaster 40 series muffler, and 2.25 inch pipes. The shop just welded a flange to my existing 2.25 downpipe. I am hoping this header is the cherry on my exhaust sundae.
