first off, this will get moved because it's suppose to be under the engine thread.
secondly, you can get them off ebay for about $125ish |

Yeah but like he said just ebay them. Metal pipe is metal pipe lol For an NA celica its not going to matter if you spend alot of money on a good brand. Just bring the header to a shop get it put on, and your exhaust will sound cooler with about a 25lb difference. No real power gains, maybe 5hp/ a cooler sound and a more ascetically appealing engine bay

Ebay headers are practically the only brand you can get. Several members are running them and all seem satisfied. It's understood that you'll only get a 1-2 hp gain, but that's 1-2 hp more than you had before.

Yeah, its not like theres a turbo hangin off it that it needs to be super strong and super reinforced lol u should get more than 1-2hp thru the midrange, the flow on the stock pipes esp around the B pipe is terrible on the FE engines.
i suppose it doesnt help that the B pipe meets up with a cat convertor and 2 restrictive mufflers thru 2" pipes tho, so u'll need to change that stuff aswell -------------------- Mike W

No real power gains, maybe 5hp/ a cooler sound and a more ascetically appealing engine bay this is exactly why noone makes a REAL header for the 5s, that actually works like it should. just a good collector for a real header would cost a couple hundred bucks. a properly tuned and build header is very expensive for a reason. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
