Default V8 headers for 3UZ-FE

Hi!
Finally got my headers done. Made from 304 steel, mandrel bent, 38 mm inner diameter.
O2 sensor needs relocation

Very cool. I do have a question though: Why go through the process of having these made when there are already headers available? Just curious.

It's because it's cheaper than PPE heades for me, and I think, It's a bit better on flow

Makes sense. Let us know how they fare on the dyno

OBX also makes a set of headers for the 400/430, although there isn't much information available on quality/fitment since most people end up going PPE since the quality and gains are proven; not to mention they're the only company that makes separate sets for LHD/RHD cars.

Either way, looking forward to how everything turns out OP.

These headers are made after I bought OBX one, its very poor quality.
I will install these headers with very qualified guy who weld it, so it's no problem to make some correction, if needed.
At the end of May I hope I will have headers on car

Looks beautiful, do you have any updates or videos? How did you have them fabricated?

Got email notification from this thread LOL

It was fabricated by hand, engine out of the car. Car was beautiful with headers, pulls much stronger. No videos (((

Best regards
