The example is actually 'doori'. 予想通り 【よそうどおり】
(exp) as expected (neutral and negative events); as feared (contributor:
Amatuka)

Many '通り' 'toori' examples are actually a literal 'way' as in street.
(contributor: Amatuka)

私が言った通りになったでしょう!

Formed from (plain) verb + toori or

Note that a euphonic change to doori is possible depending on what it
follows.

V = Verb
N = Noun (contributor: Amatuka)

when does it have に after?

toori ni.... expreses the idea that something takes place in the same way
as something... or it could be negative also.. means doesn't take place..
(contributor: prachi_saurabh)

'expreses the idea that something takes place in the same way as something'
does not make any sense at all. (contributor: bamboo4)

In ex #6257, I don't understand '卵z'. So instead of 'Checked' I changed
it to 'suspicious'...
(contributor: 赤毛)

I have always thought of 
「〜 通りに」 as ”like 〜”

and
「〜通り」as 'same way as 〜'

ローマにいる間、ローマ人の通りにします。
while in rome, do like the romans do.

ローマにいる間、ローマ人の通りします。

the meaning doesn`t change much, but thinking of it like this makes
translation less complicated.
