Just wondering, because the 6GC seems to be an outstanding platform, very modifiable, and very desireable. Yet I can't find anything for exhaust systems (cat back or headers), full CAI's, or anything else.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by the F-Body world because we have several vendors who specialize in Firebirds and Camaro's only, and in the import world that doesn't seem to hold the same.

There is a lot of aftermarket support but it is just in JAPAN, there are a few products here, EvilSpeed makes a CAI for the ST, there is a Greddy SP exhaust that is hard to find because it is discontinued. Injen makes a SRI for the GT. There are a couple other things available here, just look in the parts database. Or you could goto Japan/import from Japan and spend about $20k lol

I've been cruising through the parts database and yes, there is stuff in there, but most of the engine stuff is no longer available.

I AM going to get my hands on an MR2 or Corolla header for the 5S-FE and see what I can't do about performing a "fix" and making a cheap adapter kit for it. I have some friends who are good with welding.

Agreed, I'm going to use a B16 header for my NA build. You just have to weld the propper flange on.

More like with a 7afe\4afe flange. wink.gif

Also, before you run off and buy a cheap used B-series header, you need to make sure the bottom of it will clear the block. I have not yet checked this because my project isn't to that point.

That is a 4-1 cheap e-bay header. I meant make sure the bottom part of the curve would clear the block. Th actual pipe can be extened to fit the exhaust (if you are going this far, might as wel have a proper cat back made) but if the header won't clear the oil pan... you got trouble.

Have you got the turbo mani made yet? When are you gonna start boostin! ?
