Thanks. I've actually thought about getting this header but I think I'll have to reconsider. Those issues are the last things i'd want to have especially after forking out so much money.

He's talking about the PSR headers not the Tomei, just clarifying incase others get confused.
Tomei on the otherhand would have perfect fitment I would think.

I was really disappointed to find the don't fit the skid plate. There should be no excuse for that weak ass shit after so long and so many headers to market.

For me though the 3 year aus warranty not voided by the coating is worth it.

I was really interested in the PSR but after hearing all the problems with fitment it's really turned me off despite saving $350 off the Tomei.

So your saying if I get them coated I'll still have my engine warranty from Toyota?

Wayno · 09-18-2014, 04:57 AM

No, warranty on the header if you get them coated by psr.

Wayno · 09-18-2014, 04:58 AM

No dealer will warranty an engine with headers and tune i don't think

Ah...sorry they looked the same.

Anyway I just did somemore searching and noticed that Forged Performance were selling the same headers as the PSR ones, but decided to stop selling due to some issues after testing. Could have been the same fitment issues @Wayno encountered.

Yep they're pretty much the same as the Tomei. I heard they are made in the same place but it may also have fitment issues like the PSR does.

Mine fit just fine, I am trying to track down a light rattle tomorrow. I kinda rushed my install.

Egyptn · 09-20-2014, 04:09 AM

I'm waiting until my warranty expires next June....that 3 year warranty....then I'll go nuts.

For those wondering about invidia n1 and tomei Uel. The loudness didn't differ much at all. In my opinion it helped reduce the drone in cabin. The exhaust became less bass-ier
