I'd probably pass on that. If I were to get one, I'd get the MMW header/spipe combo. Or the Tsudo, since it looks like it's the same thing only cheaper. Don't know about the quality on that one yet though.

Ya, actually that's the same basic design as the two I mentioned. I forgot the name of it when I was replying.. but definitely another alternative.

Thinking about getting a header - possibly the Tsudo. I have an 06 with the TRD exhaust. Will most headers work? What i hear is many headers work with Catback and stock, well I have neither.

Im a lil new to the TC and interested in learning more so dont get all crazy. So when u add headers supposedly the CEL shows up wut kinda parts would get rid of that if neone doest mind explaining i would appreciate it. Cuz i was thinkin bout getting the DC 4-2-1 headers.

DC doesnt make 4-2-1 headers for the tc. I would go with any 4-2-1 header; weaponn-r then the rest if you are on a budget. tC cant utilize 4-1's potential to its full extent.

you know it really depends on which header you get i believe, i seen some of the megan header user's run 3 foulers instead of 2. but i just checked my package and i got 42002 and i was running the AW header.

Default racing headers

Nice conversation on this thread... but before you run out and buy a full race header... ask yourself if you are willing to rebuild the head before you do. I have been building street rods for years and about 2 years ago got into building import tuners. If you run a race header with a stock head, over time you WILL burn your exhaust valves and could cause a catestrophic failure that will leave you with literally thousands of dollars in engine repair to repair. Most manufactures of these parts dont put that in the fine print. Just a little FYI unless you plan on replacing your valve train with race quality parts as stock wont cut it over time.

^^How would that be? Maybe on a supercharged tc and even then I would doubt it. None of the poeple I know that have headers have ever burned their exhaust valves, and some cars are over 15 years old with stock internals.
