Camry Header Mod, fit for celica Options

I actually work at a toyota dealership so everyone once in a while I get an opportunity to buy cheap parts.

There was a camry that came in with a blown motor and I got the header off the old motor as it was going for scrap.

If you take off the bottom heat shield and cut where the pipe is straight below the big circle of welds you can get a muffler shop to make a bottom pipe. Do not cut into the ball as it has a baffle wall in it. After I cut it I took a dremel and smoothed out the transfer into the piping at the top. I now have a tubular header which should flow alot better than the stock. Its no aftermarket header but it is a cheap job anyone can do.

I plan to put the header on with a high flow magnaflow cat, borla muffler, and 2 1/4" piping (stainless)

The aftermarket headers for 5SFE Camrys don't fit, precisely because of the motor mount issue. The stock Camry manifold does, at least the one from a 1998, as long as you alter the front pipe to mate. BTW, the 98 Camry manifold I've seen mounted on a 5SFE came with a cat right underneath it, acting as the collector pipe.
