Doug Thorley Headers - 16 week lead time (1 Viewer)

[flyingscot]

Hi - just ordered my DT headers direct from DT website - MY 2000 LC 100 short tube headers to incorporate existing cats. Price $975 but they do have have a 16 week lead-time - which is OK for me. Will free issue them to my shop - big job that would take me too long.... (approx $2400 labour cost)

ouch. it's not a fun job at all, that might be one worth paying someone else to do

yeah - agree - feel like a wimp and its not in keeping with the spirit of this site but I think this job is a step too far based on its complexity and crucially the time I have available - I have a good trustworthy shop to do the work (I use them for my Landrover) - also my usual Toyota indy shop would only fit OEM and they were coming in at $4.5k - so the $2.4k labour at the other shop seems about right, and I'd prefer to fit DTs rather than OEM due to the acknowledged / identified issue with the thin metal used on OEMs, and the inevitable failure.... Hopefully the DTs will be one and done - plan on keeping the vehicle for 20 years.

It 100% sucks but opening my wallet sucks more.

I looked up DT’s website and I don’t see a headers product specific for an 06. Are they still manufacturing that? Or is that something of a special order?
