did that header bolt on to the cat?....we need some more info or maybe even installation procedure

[sapperk]

i have the header but i was having issue getting the 3 bolts out of the lower pipe, rusted as ****. any suggestions on that. I didnt want to break the bolts until im sure the header will fit and work without burning up my engine compartment with more intense heat then the car already makes.

pics and info appreciated.

soak it overnight with pb blaster then use a deep socket wrench and breaker bar. turn the bolt slowly using the breaker bar. also make sure that the car is raised well and supported.

^ what he said

[IllIllIll]

I bought this header off of E-bay. It's quality is pretty good. It bolted up to the stock exhaust no problem. It has bungs for the O2 sensors. It works alright. I really can't comment on the sound or the power gain as I did a lot off work at the same time when I put it on my Celica. It does get pretty hot. I'm thinking about making a heat shield to keep the heat from destroying my wiring harness. It doesn't look real pretty anymore, as it has turned color with age & heat. But it isn't rusting.

maybe ill screw with mine after im done with my interior project. as for now the header is decoration for my garage, all shiny and new. that'll sit there until i find an exaust system. By the way anyone have any good ideas for my exaust. i want a full catback system but i cant find anyone online with one.

id suggest going with a custom 2.5" mandrel bent catback exhaust.. if you want a name brand the only exhaust available for our cars in the US is the GReddy SP2 catback exhaust.

"if you want a name brand the only exhaust available for our cars in the US is the GReddy SP2 catback exhaust."

The one for the 2000-2006 GT celica fits our car as well?

NO!!!...not if you mod it...

[99Celica]

so it can be modded and made to fit? Or is there a better alternative?

a better alternative is going to an exhaust shop and having them make you an exhaust (either cat back or from the ex mani back) probably for cheaper than the greddy.

lets jus stick back to the topic and discuss about headers which we are talking about.....

any update on the install?.....did it bolt on to the stock cat/downpipe?

Yea so right now mine is going to be decoration for my garage, i got enough heat under the hood, dont want anymore.

[Element]

put some heat wrap on that bad boy...that'll solve heat issues under hood...but then you'd need new garage decorations

i dunno what kind of emission standards you have in washington state...but even if you don't put that header on you could gut the cats...i mean we all know how restrictive they are but it just seems so much worse when you actually pull the thing off and see all that tight honeycomb
