The truck is freaky quiet now. I'm not sure if they're this quiet from the factory?? I think I just got used to the noise and it progressively got worse and worse. I decided to do something about the exhaust when I was discount tire and heard someone start up a loud vehicle and thought dang that things is loud. Well it was my truck they started. This gave me the final push to actually make the purchase. I emailed ems to see if they'd give a discount like last year on their header back exhaust and I was offered 5 percent, which isn't bad. I also ran around town and got quotes on what they'd charge to do headers back and received a few 1k prices. I thought screw this and searched online and found the cxracing headers and downpipe. I did some research and emailed them to make sure they'd fit my vehicle and the response was yes. I placed an order with them and bought a walker muffler. I also made an order at toyota for the new head bolts and gaskets I'd need.
I tore the engine apart after getting my muffler and headers knowing my parts were to arrive last saturday via usps. Long story short the postman didn't leave them because it was snowing. I was pretty much sitting in water for a few days until I could get down to the post office to pick them up. I bolted them up friday afternoon. I had a piece missing from the downpipe and where it goes over the frame and connects to the muffler.
The first start was throaty like a mofo, it was unbearable to drive though. Sounded real nice at an idle.
I dropped it off to get a pipe bent up at midas and it was done in a few hours. I came into get it and couldn't even hear them start the cruiser. This thing is amazingly quiet. I drove it at highways speeds and it has no drone or anything. I did keep the tailpipe and resonator on.
I have a 94 so I only have the 2 o2's pre cats. The downpipe I have on only has one o2 plug so I just wired up the unused second one to the first one to clear the engine code. I know they're for three cylinders each and for a/f ratio but I'm not sure what I'll be doing. I guess I'll wait and see what happens with my mpg.
