I recently bought a stock 94 celica, and I have found that there arent many companies that offer sweet headers for the GT. Well, being that I am a welder/fabricator, I think I will design and prototype one myself. I was wondering if there would be anyone else intersted in a header for this model, because I can build a jig for small scale manufacturing of these things if there is a market for them. I will also be designing a strut tie system, and ladder bar setup for this car, so let me know if anyone is interested in these items as well. I want to gauge if its worth my trouble building jigs for all this stuff. I originally planned on just doing my own custom one off designs, but if there is enough feedback, I will consider manufacturing and selling these items on a small scale.

Yes, ladder bars are frame stiffening components. They are like the strut bars, but attatch to points under the car, further stiffening the body. I realize that there are companies on ebay that offer garbage quality parts for cheap. My partner and I recently designed, prototyped and jigged a front strut tower brace for 240sx's with top mount turbo chargers, or oversized plenums, where a standard tie bar runs into clearance issues. I know for a fact that there are cheaper ones out there, but there is a small market of people who appreciate the quality of this custom piece, and we are will be turning out 10 peices in april. I am not running an ebay store, or anything like that. I am a car enthusiast who cant stand to waste my money on mass produced garbage.
