search around dude, its the common ''ebay header''

but to answer your question, yes its a good buy. sounds awesome too

lol thanks...

But is it crappy? Like, a cheapo product? I need to replace the gasket on my header, and I'm guessing once I get the thing off, the whole thing will need replacing.

you always get what you pay for, but it will last

its not a $3000 header, but it works just fine

gives a nice pull above 3500 rpm till redline, sounds good, well made, cheap. you should wrap it or get it ceramic coated however since it just lets out sooo much heat.

thanks for the tip

im pretty sure it only has one O2 sensor.....and the header is a little short because they are made for a corolla not the celica....you can get the flex pipe welded on at a local shop for about 30 dollars.

do a search for "header"

you need a flange for your second 02 sensor and have the b pipe extended about 6"-8".

i bought the same header are stock header has an o2 sensor in the front then thier another one on the flex pipe...the ebay header only has 1 o2 sensor and its just on the header not one the flex pipe...what i did was went to an exhaust shop and they cut of tht lil piece from my stock flex pipe with the o2 sensor and weld it on to the ebay flex pipe...also the header doesnt reach all the way to the cat so what i did was buy a 93 ford probe cat which is longer...but tht was just me now i cnt pass state emmision i hvae to pay for it now but its worth it its onli $95 every 2 or 3 years.

If you buy the ebay headers, to solve the O2 sensor problem, just purchase a post-cat 02 sensor for a 95 ST. They fit perfectly as a pre-cat O2 for these headers. Only problem I had was finding those damn self-locking nuts to secure it (eventually went to a Toyota dealer to get them b/c Home Depot/Ace Hardware don't have them).

Umm...the exact item I purchased was a Bosch Universal O2 sensor, product number is 12210 at Autozone.

there are 2 versions of the same header on ebay. one is setup for a flange type primary O2 sensor and the other for a screw type primary O2 sensor. look at your car and look at the product before ordering!

speaking of the ebay header, i found the supplier in china that actually makes them.
