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

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.
