st with exhaust Options

[hashmaster52]

ok, i am just wanting to know who has an st with an aftermarket exhaust and headers . im thinkin of getting that whole setup myself and just wanted to know what other people have on theirs (size, etc.) and also where to find headers that bolt on without any modification. and dont snap at me for i have done some searching. thx.

well searching would have yeilded your answers

there is no bolt on header...you can use a corolla 7afe header but you need to modify it to fit the celica downpipe..
after that i'd suggest a 2" to max of 2.5" exhaust pipe size
use a resonator to dull the loud noise out some with a quality muffler of your choice

i have i 2.5" cat bakc set up to a 4.25 tip, sorry no pics yet!

how does that work for u? any noticeable difference in power? im not sure whether to get 2.25" or 2.5".

I have a 2.25" exhaust, stock header because I'm too poor to go get the Corolla one and modify it.. I love it, it doesn't sound ricey at all, but I have had it too long to be able to feel a power difference. If there was, it was minimal, as the Celica does not respond well to modifications

A picture:

Our ST runs a Poweflow system with a full decat. Sounds like a touring car - much much more 'raspy touring car' than the burble/howl of the Blitz equipped Four.

Some pics here, but I'm afraid they don't show the system in any detail.

i dont want to lose power or anything bad, so should i get 2.25" or 2.5"? i just wanna know which is better on an ST.

[playr158]

i you won't notice a difference between the two probably...i'd stick at 2.25

So if you bought the Corolla header and immediately went to make a custom exhaust (for example a full 2.25 header-back), then you wouldn't really have to mod anything? Or do you have to mod the header to get around some of the frame?

i wonder (i have an ebay corolla header and midpipe laying on my bed) if you could cut and weld the ebay midpipe to the stock midpipe easier than changing the header itself?
