DO NOT BUY HEADERS FROM EBAY!!! Alot... well MOST of them are Generic. Meaning that they have no make and are custom designed. Most of them are poorly made and some don't even fit properly. I bought my first header from ebay and it costed me $300+ (that includes shipping/handling) and I had to take it the muffler shop for them to install it and a custom pipe muffler becuz the bolt holes did not fit accurately and I had to take out my Greddy Cat becuz it did not match the oem design. Then I bought the OBX header for $160 (SaH) which was a pretty good fit but it looked poorly made.. Atleast I got my Catback system back on. My point is that you risk alot of chances buying from ebay. Put it this way... most headers on ebay as of right now are $250+ on BUYOUT. With $250, you could buy a nice Arospeed header and that includes the shipping as well. Check it out on http://www.streetstyler.com/Headers.htm.

did you get actual st headers or did you just modify the corolla ones?

my ebay, the obx, the pacesetter, powertech, DC, and arospeed are all copies of the 20Valve 4age stock header.


my ebay header ($100 shipped from alwaysbargains) fit my prizm like a glove and the only issue is rasp from a cheap flex section, but for $100 i dont care.


its REAL stainless (cheap 400 series runners, flanges are higher grade), the welds look great on it, and it did make a difference over stock.

you could always look for performance headers for the 7afe corolla motor and get a shop to weld on a piece of metal or use a falanged pipe to bridge the gap.

OBX is good but the weld on mine is ugly looking. OBX is probably the best header brand on eBay for ST make IMO. But I was thinking about getting Arospeed for the 1.8L Corolla (same engine) and have a shop put into my car. The main point of bringing up Arospeed is the money difference.
