The aFe Twisted Steel long tube header replaces the factory exhaust manifold on the 2.7L four cylinder Tacoma. It is built from 1-5/8 in mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel tubing, fully MIG-welded, with primary lengths tuned using aFe pulse control design and a formed collector that reduces turbulence and raises exhaust velocity for more horsepower, torque, and throttle response. Factory-style flanges bolt into the stock locations and mate to the factory exhaust with no cutting or modification, and the kit includes the header assembly plus two M8 x 1.25 x 35mm studs.
