    FJ80 header down pipes?

    I just put the down pipe I bought thru these guys, The one I got is from "Eastern". Under $300, fit perfect, completely welded where the 2 pipes join and has a gusset in the "V" between the 2 pipes. A bit more than used but not much. Shipping was under $10. http://www.discountexhaustsystems.com/
