My build parts are shipping!
(1) OFT - 2 weeks (by air freight)
(2) JDL UEL - 5-7 weeks arrival (by sea freight) but i can still switch to Tomei because the complete kit with flanges/gasket/thermal seems good
(3) Toyota OEM 4.56 FD already at shop - will have it installed together with headers

I decided to skip on wheels/tires since i dont track competitively, and will continue to maximize the car in stock form + while i bald them out for replacement.

I chose JDL assuming it is the most "OEM" quality as I really want my car to be as maintenance-free as OEM as possible - plus the look of the welds are brilliant.
Was about to go ACE 4 2 1 but I also read i would need a custom tune to dial it in vs the JDL.

Anyway, am i missing something here on running headers with stock catback? will i eventually harm the outpipe/frontpipe/catback due to the increased heat? or will i actually need some form of heat shielding on my headers to protect my oil too? Not sure if im being paranoid about it but daily temps here are 31-40C. Oil cooler? bigger radiator? Or is the Tomei kit more reliable?
