[199celica]

Alright guys my cat is dying and time will take its toll on the guy prettty soon so I was going to upgrade to some headers I found some obx racing ones I heard from a ae86 friend of mine they r good jus super ass loud I don't want tto attract a lot of attention nor sound like a god awful honda so my question is which headers work the best?

ebay headers

considering we have a "header" being it's a 4 cylinder engine, just any generic ebay one will be fine for the 5s. if you have a fully stock exhaust, it will be noticeable when you really get on it, but it won't be overly loud. I'm running straight pipes to a muffler right now, and that's very loud when I get on it and drones out on the highway. I only get the rasp when the engine is cold. But like I said, if you have the stock exhaust, you'll be fine

I've got 2.25 in piping to a resonator to a 2.5 inlet muffller sounds good right now and my top end is pretty good so we will see what header I go with thanks guys

Sorry have you ever read the million threads on headers for a GT? There are only ebay headers, and the 3sge but requires a bit more piping work to it as it is a two piece so it may not line up correctly and you have to figure out how to plug the O2 sensor back on. so only ebay headers are bolt-on. You are in Cali and since you are removing the first cat how does this affect your inspection? Check if you still have the 2nd cat below.

Headers and Exhaust are covered so much that I was curious that you may not have used the search function.
