Getting the Wheeling Fever

I am looking to buy some headers for my 1999 4-runner. I have looked online and the choices seem limited to TRD, Downey and Northwest Offroad for the most part. Anyone know where is a good place to buy any of these cheap or have another brand name to look at. Also, i have heard that SS Autochrome headers have their issues, but they do make a set for the tacoma 5VZ and i was thinking about saving the money and using those with a custom cross-over pipe.

Avoid NWOR like the plague.
TRD may just be the way for you to go, but be prepared for the sticker shock associated with their stuff.

I have to disagree about the NWOR headers...I had them on my 01 Tacoma and they worked great. I was pretty impressed!

How much did you get the NWOR headers for... How have they held up?

Just their unethical business practices! You may have gotten lucky, but many others have been screwed out of a lot of hard-earned cash when they shipped the wrong part. Hey, stuff happens, right? Uhnfortunately NWOR = No Warranty Or Returns. Even if they screwed up.

NWOR owes me over $400. Been so for 11 years. Wonder if I'll ever get that money???  NWOR has some great products. Their 22re and 3.0 headers are my personal favorites. But I would never buy from them unless I was able to walk into the store and fully inspect the parts before taking delivery. That's the ONLY way.

Well I called NWOR today and they still do not make the headers for my truck anyway and are no longer an option. I am looking very closely now at Downey... I was quoted a price this morning for Chrome ($395), Ceramic ($485) and crossover pipe ($150). Anywhere that I could get that price bumped down any and is the ceramic worth it do you think?

Ceramic is def. worth it. But for that price, I'd spend another $100 or so and buy TRD's stainless.
