I have a 1997 Toyota Celica GT with the stock engine. All I have is a Short Ram Injen Intake and I'm thinking about getting some headers for it but I don't know which one will give me the best performance and best durability. I want a direct bolt on if possible. My exhaust system is bone stock. I noticed some members have the ebay ones but are they legit? Most of the ones I've seen online are all the same design? I found this "KO-Speed" one from eBay for a little over 100 after shipping and taxes. Yes I know I live in Cali and it'll not pass smog but I have the stock one just in case. Lol. Any good?

There are different headers out there besides the eBay ones... you know. Ebay one does nothing for performance accept get rid of the cat. A true extractor header with long tubes, narrow in diameter, will draw exhaust out better and flow faster for a higher output on performance. There are MR2 guys who have gotten the 5SFE up to close to 200hp with out turboing it. I'm not saying an exhaust will make your car 200 hp... but when doing a build, it's a given that you have to have a higher flowing exhaust.
