Ha ha Cheers Lefty I have been called a lot of things but not awesome
You have a great engine there just make sure you service it and use quality oil and a factory oil filter and keep that oil clean like a surgeon when you change the oil. The 1GR-FE will last a long time.
As for the standard headers on the Australian model there not necessarily "Restrictive" - they have been designed to help produce that massive torque just off idle. That is why if you replace them with long tube extractors you will lose low down torque.
