So this weekend I got together with a friend to finally put these DTLT headers on the x( I'm pretty new to modding so had to wait for help haha) and wow. Low rpms didn't notice really any loss in power from the butt dyno and has a nice almost subaru sti rumble, then after 2k rpm turns into a monster. I've been finding any excuse to drive for the last 3 days( had to convince my G/F she NEEDED me to pick her up from work even though she drove her car that day) haha.

Just wanted to make sure to thank gadget for the awesome group buy and excellent customer service, the write up for the install which helped a ton, and this site which I stalk but rarely post. You guys have been a huge help and I'm loving my truck more than ever. Hopefully will meet more of you at X fest east coming up.

By far one of the best bang for the buck mods. Glad you got them installed, modding with a bud always makes it fun too!

Yeah worth every penny, really enjoyed the experience as well. Hit a few big snags like one of the exhaust manifold bolts was tightened on too much so it stripped which we had to go buy a new one(which the toyota dealership didn't carry, you know since tacomas are so rare?), then cut the bolt off. Had some good laughs along the way and forgot about all the problems we had the second I started it up =P

Sounds like u could have used a set of the exhaust manifold studs by ARP through Dezod motorsports.

Nice job on the DTLT install. Do you have a Borla cat-back or just a Borla muffler on your stock exhaust?

Yeah those studs were a pain, and I have just a Borla muffler since I'm probably staying N/A.
