Description

It was the late 1950s, during the golden era of hot rods, when Doug Thorley crafted his plans for the highest quality headers on the block. Fine tuning, superior craftsmanship and unmatched attention to detail helped Doug Thorley Headers power street racers everywhere.

Now 50 years later, Doug Thorley Headers are built with the same mission in mind: amping-up the power of your street ride. Thorley Headers use one of three souped-up designs: a unique Tri-Y setup that roars from idle up to 4500 RPM; shortie headers for ease of installation and smog compliance; and long tube headers that specialize in mid to high RPM power.

Because they're setup for the streets, Thorley Headers also feature the hardware and custom flanging to be 50-state smog legal. Each header includes a sharp nickel chrome finish that's polished to a sweet gleam, or a metallic ceramic coating that withstands high heat. And, your Doug Thorley Headers carry a Lifetime Warranty for the original owner.

"These are a very nice set of headers, I removed a set of headers I purchased off of Ebay for my Ford V10 and I installed the Thorley headers I gained 5mph on a 7% grade. I love the sound and the horse power gain. I recomend them to any one."

"good design, straight foward install, just wish they came with a CARB EO number welded on the headers. They really shouldnt say 50 state legal, if it doesnt come with one of those."

"Very nice headers, especially for the price! AutoAnything has fast shipping. Doug Thorley are comparable to more expensive headers from ARH and Kooks. Excellent mid range torque gains. Gained 30whp/wtq on the dyno, my car dynoed higher then cars with Kooks and similar mods. You will need to dyno tune your vehicle to the headers to take full advantage of the power they can produce. A hand held tuner or canned tune won't cut it."

"Adding the Doug Thorley headers to my 2001 4Runner made is sound a lot better, however the power gains are not terribly noticable. I can feel the gains in the high RPM ranges (over 4k), however from a stop or at low RPMs the headers appear to have reduced back pressure too much and the truck seems to choke a little off the line. Overall for the price I would recommend them if you have money to spend and are willing to add more than just the headers to make the truck faster."

"Price was right. Took a while to ship. Once I got them I went down to a local shop. Three hrs it was done. I have a cat-back exhaust and the volume of the exhaust didnt increase, it just changed. got a more throaty sound. Power isnt increased by as much as i hoped. need to get the Y-pipe to complete the true free-flowing exhaust."
