You should be able to do these with no issue. Megan, Toyomoto, HP Racing, amoung others are available. I would just search 2JZ headers in google or ebay. There is not much of a gain.

Better question is what kind of gains are you looking for and with what budget? It's easier to match up what's available than it is to just talk about one aftermarket part.

I'm just looking for a 10 to 20 hp increase. I have the SRT-Intake and cat back exhaust.

Well the exhaust upgrade is meaningless with the SRT ECU so getting a Air Fuel Controller will free up the HP gains from the aftermarket exhaust.

The SRT ECU is only designed to account for the intake and the stock exhaust. Once you are able to tune your intake and exhaust, that should give you more than the 10 - 20 you're looking for (depending on the tuner).

Engine search was completed a little over a week ago. I should have my car back sometime this week and a friend of mine wants to buy the bad motor and rebuild it. He's into that kind of stuff and he was already looking for a 2jz
