[Radiclebradicle]

Hey everyone, i recently discovered this site and was very pleased with how detailed and kind everyone was when giving suggestions on upgrading "one's" celica, and well i have a simple question..

i have a 95 celica ST, 5 spd manual, and i want to put performance headers on it and well pretty much maximize my power output untill i can either do an engine swap or turbo charge my 7A-fe motor.. so which brand or what headers would you put on your 95 st??

thanks again, and its a pleasure to be around other celica enthusiasts.

Lower it with proper springs and struts, and have one of the best handling economy cars around. I average 35 mpg out of mine with it being stock, aside from being lowered and a K&N panel filter. Really a header is pointless on this car, and if you have any kind of visual inspection for emissions you won't pass. A true cold air might help some but it's really indifferent, you get the sound and that's really about it. The cam duration is so short, really hard to get anything out of the motor aside from turbocharging it. Pair that with a MAP sensor vs MAF, and that makes it harder when it comes to "bolt on power". You could remove the secondary cat as it's not monitored, as long as you don't have emissions anyway. The stock muffler is quite restrictive so you could replace it, again it'll be more for sound than power though. Really swapping is your only choice for worthwhile power gains. The 1MZ-FE is a good choice and it can be found locally and cheaply, versus other options that need imported. There are at least three members here that have swapped in the 1MZ-FE, I think one of them may have done it with the ST. Either way the best way to go about it would be to find a Camry/Solara donor, so that way you have just about everything you need at hand. Anyhow welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your stay.
