First montero, exhaust/headers questions

[Rustedrebel09]

I just bought a 1994 montero sr to use as my mountain ride. I was wondering is there any performance headers being made for these rigs? Also would love to know what exhaust setups you guys are running in your rigs.

Thanks for reading

I was running a pretty open set-up, no-catalytic convertor (but as many will tell you, the cats on montero/montero sports are already very free flowing) and a very-very small muffler that had a pretty sweet idle and low-rpm rumble, but I drive a manual so higher rpms on the highway completely turned me off to the idea of a louder/free flowing muffler (at least for now, I crave that rumble!)

Otherwise there is a company in Australia Race Performance Works that has pretty sweet parts for Pajero (Montero) and Pajero Sports (Montero Sport) like headers, and even an adapter plate for the Toyota TRD supercharger so you can use it on the 6g72 engine (3.0L).

And start at this page and select based on your engine, they actually have a lot other parts too for the 6g72 and 6g74 engines both 12v and 24v

Here are some pictures of the headers from a member on another forum I operate on www.monterosportonline.net

These are from a former member "dannytuned" who installed these after getting them ceramic coated.







And the thread where he installed them Header installation

On another note, holy s*&! I just found this website! Looks promising! Best Mufflers

Yeah I am just looking in to what I want to do to my Monty first, on all my other cars it's usually exhaust fist. What do guys do for performance on these rigs? Any recommendations on first mods?

If you plan to wheel or go on offroad expeditions your first mod should be Transfer case gears. plenty of writeups on 4x4wire on the different compatible cases and gearswaps. Rocker panel protection is a close second. Other than that the SR is a great truck stock, depending on how rough of terrain you plan on crossing will be the deciding factor on what to mod next. I've built quite a few Montero's and have a had a hand in many others, it's always the same thing if you don't do the gear and rocker panels early on you'll look back and wish you had.
