Hey guys, ready to order the header for my car, need some opinions on which header will sound and work better w/ the TRD intake, as well as the TRD exhuast? And anything else i'll need...

it's all personal preference. check out the header posts...

i heard the trd exhaust doesnt really sound too good with any header combo.

Lilroma

Can anyone else give some more help w/ this??

I think that's the case when there is no resonator. From what I've read a 30" resonator will eliminate most, if not all, of the 'header rasp.'

my friend has OBX Racing headers with the s pipe and the trd exhaust..and it doesnt sound that good. he just recently eliminated the resonator and it got louder and doesnt sound well. If i were you i wouldn't get the TRD exhaust. id go for the greddy evo 2 or the hks or injen and get some MMW headers or the DC SPORT headers.

Thing is I already have the trd exhaust on, and cant do much else, but work w/ what i got... or that incorrect?

You could buy a new exhaust...

It seems they do not make the TRD exhaust for any setup except CAI and exhaust, or with the supercharger. I had an 03 corolla, put on the TRD exhaust, had a CAI, and then added a dc header and wow, it sounded baaad. I then got the supercharger, and it sounded much better. I wonder if they tuned the TRD exhaust for a certain setup?

I feel like every time i have plans to do something new to the car, something ALWAYS has to F**ck me over..

IMO, I dont really give a damn about the rasp. People can laugh all they want but my car pulls so thats all that matters to me. Just personal preference like someone said.

Agreed, we're talking about 4 cyl motors. They are not going to sound like a mustang or camaro. If you can deal with the rasp, then go for it.

So a 4-1 dc or megan header will do w/ a trd exhaust + the resonator.. Should have little to none problem?

I agree with you too. It's just my own preference not to have the rasp sound. I mean if you get the headers with a different exhaust besides the TRD then it wont sound that bad. but theres a certain level of rasp that i can take. MY friend has the obx header and s pipe no resonator and the trd exhaust... and it really doesnt sound good. You'd have to hear it and trust me you wouldn;t like the rasp sound.

So, I was told by a service tech at clair toyota that the dc sport ceramic 4-2-1 would be the appropriate header, ill post again after its in ... if anyone is interested..
