I'm well aware that almost a year ago Downey Off Road Manufacturing went out of business. I saw that the former president posted a forum on this site saying that 6 companies are in talks to take over where they left off. After that, i could not find any other info on the subject. Does anyone know who resumed their operations, if at all?
Here's my dilemma, I've been told that I need some tabs welded on to my Downey headers on my 1997 4Runner. The tabs need to have the Executive Order # on it to prove that they are smog legal or else it won't pass the Visual Inspection during a smog check. I printed out the Executive Order paperwork, but they say its meaningless and that I need the EO number stamped on the headers in order to pass. Does anyone provide support for this or am I SOL? My last resort is to buy stock headers so I don't have to deal with this BS anymore (but I would like to keep the Downey headers obviously).
