Hello, I just bought my own Celica for $525 at an auction! It only has 130,000 miles on it and I love it. I'm planning to stay N/A for now and I've already added a SRI and ordered headers. I was wondering what other cheap mods would help me get more power. Oh yeah, how heavy is the stock manifold too? jw

welcome to the site david.
read thru the stickys at the top of each forum, and get a feel for some of the more common questions that are asked by browsing thru the first few pages of each forum, lots of good info to be had. the stock manifold is very heavy. its cast iron, and has the large primary cat converter attached. taking a guess, i'd say that it probably goes 20-25lbs. you have the most basic of mods already, the next biggest power adder would be cams and or an SAFC or similar to adjust fuel ratio, but that isnt so cheap. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Hello, thanks for helping me find out what I need, I'll most likely get a tuner for it soon too! I'm not sure how much they are but I can save up.

Yeah I noticed it had 2 cats so maybe I'll try to fab a test pipe for it since I have emissions testing in California. I also noticed a resonator too so maybe I'll just weld a straight pipe in there. I don't wanna be too obnoxious you know haha
