GT Headers, Headers...group buy ALL GT'S, Genie headers....all GT's...PICS!!!!! Options

[pimped6gen]

I am been searching endless hours for a header for our car. As we all know there is none execpt for the select few, Genie and one another (I forget the name). I am in access to as many Genie headers as wanted. I need to know how many of you are intersted. I personally am in on this, I work with a body/customization shop in my area and they were able to get us a good deal on them. I can get them for $399, shipping will also be only about $50. Please let me know if you are interested, once i recieve the money the item will only take about 4 days to get to me and then i will ship them out to you.

THE MORE PEOPLE WE GET TO ORDER THESE AT THE SAME TIME THE CHEAPER THEY WILL BE. $399 WAS THE PRICE I WAS QUOTED, WE CAN SAVE A LOT ON SHIPPING IF WE BUY IN BULK!

[pimped6gen]

anyone interested?

[Anub1s]

Would be but sadly no money

[fastgt]

400!!!....*faints*.....luckily im going the turbo route..but good to know they are out there

[Irishflame27]

yeah thats kinda expensive, i would love to buy them,but not for $400

[ssnake86]

i might be intrested. i would like some more information though. like maybe some picutres, are they 4-2-1? what kind of gains can i expect? 10-12 hp at least? is there any modification needed at all for instillation?

[pimped6gen]

i will post a pic in a few hours yes they are 4-2-1. I would say between 8-10 horespower. You will deffinately be able to feel the difference! Little to no modification for install. Again, I will get back to you shortly with pics.

[pimped6gen]

sorry i am new to this forum so i am not sure how to post pics, but here is what the header looks like. It is a light blue color, i know its not the nicest looking color but you can get them polished for about 25 dollars. I wil lnot let you down with these headers. I cannot wait to get them myself!

[Irishflame27]

well its good to know there are headers for the 5s engines now!

[xonethug]

well .. what about headers for 3sfe 98 , 2.0 ?? any headers for that ???
but there is a place here where i can get them made for about 300$ ..
but i live in dubai U,A,E by the way !

[pimped6gen]

I'm sure genie makes them for you but i would just buy your header for $300. I would imagine they would be between $350-450. Sorry!

[marc]

That blue header looks like the one on my GT, except mine isn't blue.

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

IM Tottaly down, if they'd willing to either chrome them out or polish them otherwise its not really worth $400! No offense but my buddy was going to "try" to custom make something from either a Supra or from a new Celica, but he was talkin 250-300, no guarentees though, so if they can chrome or polish it up, Then sign me up!!!

[urbandork]

i would be in if the price was a lil bit lower.

[pimped6gen]

I'll work on that price, what price would you guys buy this header at? I will also ask if they can polish it and keep it at 399. I wanna work with you guys on this because i am buying this header as well.

[ssnake86]

400 does seem very expensive. i would do it if they were polished and were $375. that sounds alot more reasonable.

[urbandork]

Im not much for looks so i really dont need mine polished if its even an option.

[pimped6gen]

You wanna purchase these then urbandork? So far me and probably ssnake86, DJMC_Celica, and urbandork. The more people we get the cheaper i can probably get these for because they can all be shipped at once. Let me know guys, again, i will contact the company monday to see what we can do with polishing, and lowering cost. Thanks!

[recneps]

when i get another celi im up for them. but if i dont find one then i might have to settle on something other than a celi. but yeah.

i fi get a celi im down.

[pimped6gen]

try your hardest man! I want as many people as i can to buy these at the same time to save money. How long till you get another celi? Keep me posted! Good luck.

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Also if at all possible i want to see a dyno, of the HP, difference?
Thanks! Im very interested

[pimped6gen]

Alright guys so whos all in? Anyone in at this point or all of you waitin on dyno sheets, polishing of the headers, and etc.? Let me know

[urbandork]

dyno sheet and definant lower price. something around 300ish. keep me posted

[xonethug]

well just so u guys know .. here they are willing to custom make them and chrome them for about 280-300$

[pimped6gen]

xonethug, what do you mean by here they would only be $300. I am sorry guys the price cant drop that drastically. I will work on it, i will also try my best to get up a dyno sheet. Thanks.

[slvrblt]

I am in on getting the header. email me at brucew@vt.edu

This post has been edited by slvrblt: Sep 30, 2004 - 7:22 PM

[pimped6gen]

wow im glad to here your in on this...guys i cant get a dyno sheet up..noone i know has these installed for me to pay to have a dyno sheet done. Also i can get these chromed but it will be an extra few dollars. I will check on pricing on that though...a guy in town would chrome them for me. If we get more people to buy these the price will be cheaper, probably cheap enough to almost get all of the headers chromed and shipped for the price i listed in the first place...Let me know if anyone else is interested.
Thanks!

[slvrblt]

jus wondering when are you going to make a cut off date?

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

I would also strongly consider buying if the price was a bit lower. Keep us informed.

[Gilbert_619]

wow 400 bucks it expensive kinda..well for me more then any one else...cuz here its harder to get some shop to make custom header due to the fact they wont pass smog..mean they can be sued for making headers like that...thats why i like living here soo close to mexico..down there they dont care much...i was quoted at a really nice muffler shop down there for 80 for headers...this almosts make me want to make some and make some extra mula for myself.....now only if i had 80 bucks and a gt..hahah but those to look nice..why are they blue tho?

[slvrblt]

the more of you guys that say you want a header the pice may become lower depending on how many people sign up, so stop bitching about the price since this is one of the only companies in the world that make a header for this motor

[urbandork]

how much is the price. You can count me in as a probably in. What is the cut off date btw

[pimped6gen]

the price for the header is going to be 399, but the more peolpe we get the better i can bring down the shipping. I am glad to here we have 2 people that are very interested. I dont understand why u guys complain so much about price, i know it sucks but i cant do any better. I have been searching for months and i am just lucky i found these. We can make the cuttoff date whenever we feel noone else is interested. Let me know guys. I can send away for um whenever you want....thanks for that post slvrblt that pretty much summed up what i have been trying to say ever since this post here

[urbandork]

btw chrome isnt impoant to me. Id rather have a flat gray of the regular unpolished pipes and keep it looking plain.

[pimped6gen]

Im sure it wouldnt be hard to just do something with the header to have them flat gray. I mean dont quote me on this but i wouldnt see why you wouldnt be able to go to your closests autozone and buy gray spray paint. Just make sure it is the paint that is supposed to be used specificaly for engine use. So you in on this?
So far we got....
1.slvrblt
2.urbandork...unsure
3.COME ON GUYS!

[ssnake86]

i would be in for sure if i didnt just blow my clutch and had to get other things replaced for a total of $800. give me a 4-6 weeks and i'll get one for sure.

[Anub1s]

I just got a new position in work with a big pay raise so give me maybe a month or two and I might be able to do this. It all depends plus please get some pics up and what not so we can take a look at them, I'm not going to buy anything blindly.

[urbandork]

yeah im still unsure lets get somemore ppl in on this tho. i would be in sure sure if you can get a dyno sheet that would be great. I want to buy it but if i dont know around how much ill gain itll be a bit odd paying 400 ish with out knowing what i am gaining, you know what i mean

[slvrblt]

I'm cool with waiting a little longer for you guys to get the money together for the header.

[pimped6gen]

here is the pic of the genie header...

http://www.6gc.net/photo.php?file=/images/...hotos/337_4.jpg


....also here is what it would look like chromed...
(hope this pic comes up)

[SlowCelica94]

It's not the prettiest, but look at it like this. Spray paint the flange black, and heat wrap the tubes (you should be doing this anyways). No problem anymore. How big are those tubes? And what type of metal are we talking here?

[pimped6gen]

hey guys last day to buy is the 25th of this month..if anyone wants one past this date just lemme know....email me or ust simply reply to this post

[urbandork]

how many ppl we got so far whats the price with the group and what would the price be with out

[urbandork]

is it just like two ppl cus thats not to big of a group.

[pimped6gen]

yup only slvrblt is in on this so far. The price is gonna be the same, its obviously not gonna change with only two people buying them...sorry! Noones buying b/c of the price, but this is the only company that makes um so srry! I am ordering slvrblt's the 25th so let me know if you are in!

This post has been edited by pimped6gen: Oct 14, 2004 - 10:30 PM

[urbandork]

ill let you know depends on how much cash i have im guna try to save.

[urbandork]

I slept on it and id have to say no. I just can see spending all that money on something that one hasnt been dynoed and two even if it was would probably only a minimal amount of horse power to the wheels. Espcially Since im running stock exhaust.

Perhaps next time if the group buy gets n e larger but personally i fell im better off with a 3sfe header set up and custom exahust.

[pimped6gen]

Header has been bought by Slowcelica94...it will take about 3 weeks total to get to his house (1 week left)...we are working on getting his car dynoed and taking pics of the header after it is installed. After going through the process of buying this header I can found that I can save a s*%$loud of money if a few people buy together!...Thanks guys and ill keep u posted!

[urbandork]

Well if the price drop is good and the dyno data comes back with nice numbers ill be intrested as i jsut got dun with my CAI system

btw thanks for keeping things updated i apprecite that very much

[pimped6gen]

Really buddy?! u think u know dont u?hahah if only you knew....get about 3 or 4 of ur buddies, and well see

[fastgt]

i have no use for your header with a ct26 under my hood

This post has been edited by fastgt: Nov 5, 2004 - 4:32 PM

[pimped6gen]

good for you...then why are you posting in my forum?! lol... it doesnt add up...

[urbandork]

perhaps its time to start a new GB thread and c if we can get 4 ppl in on it. How much would it be if say 3 ppl were in on one.

[pimped6gen]

I will get back to you on monday probably around 3 ish. I will have to call the company in canada and ask um a few questions...thanks!

[sapperk]

i am in

[pimped6gen]

urbandork r u in on this? sapperk is in on this....we only need 1 person for 3....lemme know!

[urbandork]

Dude how much if three people get in on this. what about four. Get some numbers up cus i hate to say yes and have no idea how much.

keep me posted.

[shin]

well.. i would definitely get the headers if i'm keeping my 5sfe, but i'll be doing my swap in 9 weeks..

[shid]

1) People have tried this before
2) Back when these were being produced, they had major fitment problems
3) So you're paying 400 for a group buy thats never been sucessfully done before; and people who used to buy the headers basically had to toss them

bye

[sapperk]

so whats the deal, do these fit or not?

[sapperk]

pimped6gen told me that he wont give me the info on the company that is making these headers. He said it is fun for him to be the only one able to get them. Thats F#$@ED UP! I think... Anyone agree. The site has always been about us helping eachother out. So either he wont give us the info because he really thinks its fun, or he is trieing to rip us off. I dunno someone else decide...

[fastgt]

sounds shady if you ask me...but hey its your money

[pimped6gen]

yea shid did i ever tell you that u r the coolest person on this site? You seem to know everything about anything...u have one of these headers on ur car? oh wait u dont...so what were u saying about them not fitting? I know poeple with these headers and they didnt seem to have any problems with fittment. I think u should take your comments somewhere else... and as for sapperk yes i know i told you that... i am one of the few that know how to get ahold of these headers but i personly couldnt tell you what compnay i am getting them from. I am getting them from a tuner shop in the area. The thing is that they wont even tell me where they get um from! So dont come down on me and get pissed....trust me if i knew i would tell you, im not that kind of person! I hope you decide to buy one from me...u let me know!

[pimped6gen]

and for you fastgt...dont u have a ct26or whatver u said u have? you said you have no use for this header? so y r u still posting in my forum? i dont know maybe i am just stupid?

This post has been edited by pimped6gen: Nov 8, 2004 - 6:34 PM

[pimped6gen]

Oh and by the way for u people who actually wanna be a part of this forum...i jsut got the header in today for slvrblt so if any of you who didnt turn on me today, i will be posting pics tommorow...thanks!

[fastgt]

1. this isnt your forum.
2. i can post wherever i want.
3. giving people attitude who are skeptical(sp) wont convince them to buy off of you, you have to make them feel secure.
4. we all have reason to be affraid of "your product", simply because people have tried this before and they have failed
5. 400 dollars for something that give MINIMAL hp gains...it hardly seems worth it.
6. again i can post wherever i want.


love me, or hate me....im not going anywhere.....now shuddap newb

[sapperk]

im not saying that im not in, im silly like that. i will still purchase if the price drops... im willing to try anything once. ill give ya the benefit of the doubt..as for your comments to fastgt........

back off him... hes just doing what this web site is up to do... help people with problems and stuff. we all give eahother advice on here, dont we... dont hate him cause he makes sense...

by the way, why is there no info on your ride in your profile?

[pimped6gen]

u guys r halariuos! u care waaay to much! how much time do u guys have on your hands!
EVERYONE be afraid of my product...i dont care...i already sold it to one person and its already in the mail to him...so be scared! even though there is no point to!
oh and fast gt...its 400 dollars for something that u wouldnt be able to locate where to buy...ur so jealous its funny...give up buddy! good luck with your ct26..hope it ends up lookin as good as ur face!

[pimped6gen]

THANKS sapperk i appreciate ur post, i just dont understand why people care so much to try to shut me down?

[fastgt]

by the way im not trying to shut you down....but we have all had our fair share of bad sellers, its not fair that we get screwed again. its nothing personal against you but its the way youre carrying yourself is what worries us

[pimped6gen]

alright man srry....I can understand, i want you all to know that i am not out to rip u guys off at all! I am just simply selling a product that is very hard for anyone to get there hands on! Srry bout that whole outburst by me it just seemed like all of a sudden everyone turned on me. Alright guys....lets move on from here...by the way ill do my best to get those pics up by tommorow

[sapperk]

Good boy,, pics please!!!

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Is this by any chance the header now produced for 5th gen. GT and GTS by Hotshot?

I was just on their site the other day and saw that its on their list of new releases and I think its conception had something to do with the Celica.net crowd asking them for it, if I remember correctly.

5SFE 2.2L Celica header, at bottom of page.

If thats the one, this group buy is a good deal...since individually its around $522.

EDIT-- Just saw that you specified that it was the Genie header....but its always an option to look at.

This post has been edited by Silver94CelicaOwner: Nov 10, 2004 - 1:43 AM

[SiKBOY]

hey guys, that picture of the genie header is of my car. There is no fitment problem at all with the genie header. it was actually made to fit the camry with the 5sfe engine but it fits the celica just fine. there is no need for any fabrication.

The only issue was that the oil dipstick was in the way so all i had to do was bend it a little so i could still access it and you will need to fit in a flex pipe.

Do a little reseach, there is a pic of a dyno print out of my celi before and afteer a an safc tune. i had an intake, the genie header and exhaust system. It won't give you what gains are to be had with just the header but might give you some idea but then again, all dynos are different.

Genie is an australian brand and well known here. They make good quality stuff and have been around for a long time. They are mandrel bent 4-2-1 and the sound is pretty damn impressive... but saying that after the install, my butt dyno couldn't tell much of a difference. I asked my exhaust guy about it before I bought it and he told me that it won't do too much... you won't be able to feel it. I bought it anyway because at the time i had some spare cash. I can't explain the blue colour of the header. When I first saw it uninstalled it wasn't blue.. by memory it was silver but when i drove around for a few days it turned blue! ( I have no idea how)

Lets face it. there is hardly any power to be extracted out of an economical 5sfe engine, no matter what mods you do to it. Hence I have since sold my celica and purchased a type R.

I'll try and frequent this thread to see if anyone else wants any information but nowdays im hardly on this board because i have sold my celica. (trying to learn more about the dc5).

$400 USD sounds like a fair bit for some bent pipes. I know I didn't pay that much but then again you have to consider the cost of importing and then the dealer putting some extra on top etc.

[pimped6gen]

wow thanks guys for those posts! I also agree that 450 is quite expensive for some bent pipes, but it the whole supply and demand issue...noone makes the headers so there gonna sell um for waaayy to much! If you guys can get 3 to 4 people together i can have the price brought down to about 399 for each header...lemme know guys and also i am having a great deal of trouble trying to post pics....how do i do it?

[urbandork]

hey with the header on will it pass smog?

[sapperk]

i just recently looked at my exaust manifold stock. and it doesnt look like we really need aftermarket headers. our stock pipes are pretty straight forward. do u think we would really get a proformance increase from these? Also i need some advice, i am getting the RIPP Mods supercharger system, do u think i would then need after market headers?

[Blakout16]

that guy seems like he's a reincarnation of andason on a bad bad day. (pimped6gen)

[urbandork]

Well i know ive been in and out mostly because the GB, lets face it, hasnt really been a group buy. This is probably not due to price but more for the raw fact that power gain will be minimal.

Im thinking guna think about teh header next year and focus on getting a nice 1911/2011 .45 cal airsoft side arm.

[slvrblt]

my main reason for getting the header is because i am going to put the RIPP Mods supercharger on my celica and want a freer flowing exhaust to make the most out of the supercharger and other engine mods that i plan to do.

[sapperk]

I got the same plan, but do u think the header will really imrpove that much, the factory manifold is pretty free flowing anyway?

[slvrblt]

the factory manifold may be free flowing but with the cat mounted to the manifold there is resistance to exhaust flow less than a foot from the engine. The header is also lighter than the cast iron stock manifold found on celics. with running a supercharger more air is going into the motor so more air is coming out of the motor, so the header will help more with the supercharger that with out one. This is my opinion if it is wrong i don't mind if you correct me.

[sapperk]

well ive heared the same thing, from RippMods, im just curious

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

I say that you guys who arent even interested cut pimped6thgen some slack....

If you arent interested, leave this topic. At least he's considerate enough to share his ability to purchase them with our community and not say "the hell with the rest of you". So please, a little respect. For those interested, this is not a bad deal at all, and I dont see how it could be.

That said, I may be interested in this header so ill let you know if i can swing it. Thanks for hooking us up.

[right][snapback]206317[/snapback][/right]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that post! Thanks for the help bro, if u buy that ill make it two...we need one more for 3...if we do get 3 peeps i can cut ya a deal....lemme know guys!
Again...thanks for the post Silver94CelicaOwner!

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

No problem pimped. Just let me know if anybody else displays interest in these, cuz i'd really like to get a header for when i do my engine rebuild.

So then somebody else get in on this...wont be easy to get these if you dont act now!

[NEVERSTOP]

just a though for you guys worried about the $ issue on these headers, Which I personally think is way to high but not ripping on this GB - thats just IMO... newayz.. you can buy dyno tested headders off ebay all day long for 150 or less.. a machine shop would charge you 30-40 tops to make a flange to mount the header to the motor and prolly another 20-30 to rebend/weld pipes into place... Just an option for ya guys to look at if your worried about price vs performance.

Otherwise if you just want something prebuilt jump on this, but I would wait for the person that order one already to post.

[sapperk]

Im still looking forward to the guy that oredered these to post too, but like i said im in on it, just let me know when we get the others in too.

slvrblt recieved his header....i will have him post...and have him post pics..i am having too much trouble trying to....thanks for holdin in there guys...and sapperk i will try to get a few more peopple in on this....ill keep ya guys posted!
Thanks
Brandon

[slvrblt]

As pimped6gen said i recieved my header today. The header is at my house in maryland so i will be home friday and will try to have some pics posted on friday or satruday. I will be putting the header on in december when I am home for winter break, since I have some other projects that I want to get done first. I will try to get some dyno numbers from before and after the change and will also post some pics of what it looks like installed on my celica

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Pimped, what kind of price are we looking at if I order along with two others? Just curious about a general price or timeframe involved. PM me if you have any news.

[slvrblt]

here is a pic of the header

[pimped6gen]

There ya go guys...thats the header...thanks slvrblt for the help...i have so much trouble when i try to post pics....and Silver94CelicaOwner i will pm u the numbers, srry i have been real busy lately and have not been able to check up on the forums. SLVRBLT once installed please post pics again! Thanks!

[Jehuty]

It would be a huge help to see these dyno'd before and after. I think you would sell alot more if there was some sort of data. Maybe you twou could split the cost of two pulls of something?

[shid]

yea shid did i ever tell you that u r the coolest person on this site?  You seem to know everything about anything...u have one of these headers on ur car? oh wait u dont...so what were u saying about them not fitting?  I know poeple with these headers and they didnt seem to have any problems with fittment.  I think u should take your comments somewhere else... and as for sapperk yes i know i told you that... i am one of the few that know how to get ahold of these headers but i personly couldnt tell you what compnay i am getting them from.  I am getting them from a tuner shop in the area.  The thing is that they wont even tell me where they get um from!  So dont come down on me and get pissed....trust me if i knew i would tell you, im not that kind of person!  I hope you decide to buy one from me...u let me know!
[right][snapback]204992[/snapback][/right]

Wow

First off, try paragraphs when you're writing. It's like stickers on your car- you might not have the horsepower under the hood but people THINK you do.

My comments are valid- I do NOT have one of these headers on my car but I was looking into it about 6 months back and did my research- I've been around the site a great deal longer than you and have become and active member of the community (which is why I have more boxes and 1500 more posts than you). I have read through entire threads on genie and hotshot headers; and I posted the results of those threads.

These headers are built for the CAMRY engine- headers built for that engine have always "fit" our car, but require modification (more than just moving the oil dipstick). I'm interested if SiKBOY redid his entire exhaust with these headers- because if I remember correctly, the issue was the piping was a good 4 inches off (this is the issue with any camry header) because of the location of the camry (tranny?)(suspension?) and the exhaust path it takes is different on our cars.

As far as your PM to Sappark saying that you think it's fun to be the only one able to get them- that IS ****ed up. This isn't a group buy- it's a single buy with one intermediate too many. For all we know you're sticking an extra 100 on the asking price.

good luck with your ct26..hope it ends up lookin as good as ur face!

He'll more hp pound for pound and dollar for dollar out of that than he would with your mystery piping- and he won't have to worry about getting a part that doesn't fit.

As for your personal insult against him; you're such a big man aren't you? Running the group buy by yourself and selling to individuals, learning to write in paragraphs, calling people ugly- you've done so much for the community.

If you arent interested, leave this topic. At least he's considerate enough to share his ability to purchase them with our community and not say "the hell with the rest of you". So please, a little respect. For those interested, this is not a bad deal at all, and I dont see how it could be.

Considerate is the last thing I'd call him. Respect is also something he's not going to get from me at all.

This could easily be a bad deal, for things that I and others have brought up before me (that were uhh.. respectfully shot down by pimped)

What it comes down to right now is that this is not a group buy; pimped is offering to sell these headers to individuals and promoting his own business (buy headers through me and no one else)

--Sean

[slvrblt]

i got the header installed today and there were no fitment problems what-so-ever. tomorrow i'm am taking the car to an exhaust shop to get the rest of the exhaust done. As far as fitment on a 6th gen i am not sure since I own a 5th gen.
here is a pic of it installed
