I talked to a guy named Randy at Thorley about 6 wks ago and that 429.00 sounded like what he said it would be for a set of TRI-Ys,uncoated. Coated was about 150.00 more. This was to buy directly from them. I found there site by doing a name search. No toll-free number.

I have the Thorley's on and they come two ways. The standard is a heavy chrome finish and for the racers, they have a ceramic coated version. I have the chrome and have never had a code. I tow an enclosed trailer (about 7500lb total) for hundreds of miles and no problems with the headers. Which ever kind you get, remember to torque the bolts once a weak for the first month to ensure you do not blow the gasket.

 

i heard because our heads are aluminum running stainless steal headers might cause you to blow an exhaust gasket? anyone have any problems with this?

 

Summitracing has the Thorleys for that price.

 

Are the thorleys true long tubes or are they the midsize ones????? How do the Thorleys compare to the AZSM and TOG's????????????

 

for the price I don't think you can beat them. I belive they are mid lengths but I know alot of people are looking at buying them since they are a couple hundred cheaper then anything comparable. I am looking.

 

hey i have a question a little off subject for you bill. i was wondering how the truck is holding up with the lift, i am interested in lifting my truck but want it to stay reliable. is what im looking at is a 4 inch lift and run 33's, any suggestions or insights would be great!

I believe they are considered long tubes. You cut the Y pipe 1/2" in front of the cat and weld the flange at that point.

 

The truck has held up great, I have had no issues with it at all and thats after over 20,000 miles. My truck is a work truck and hauls my tractor, boats, cars and a heavy as hell enclosed trailer and its never been a problem. Believe it or not it drives better than before I did the lift. One thing it look at the price of the 4" lift as opposed to the 6" like I did its so close I would go 6" and then if you want you can tweak it up another 1-1.5" easily. I did all the work myself (installed everything) and it wasn't that bad but I have a lift and that makes it alot easier.

Hope that helps.
