Headers... Options

[JasonX]

hello everyone,
just wondering who in here from California have a header on their Celica?
If so,
1. Is it carb legal?
2. What brand?
3. Where'd you get it from?

I heard the header has to have carb-legal sticker along with a carb-legal aftermarket cat.

Thanks

keep your old exhaust manifold/cat... swap it back every smog year.

does everyone in Cali change back and forth every year? or do the smog shops really pay attention with the heat shield over it as long as you have a cat? i would still pass the emissions test if i have a cat right?

You'll most likely pass the emissions but fail the visual. You might as well try with the header on cuz you may get lucky, if you fail just swap in the original.

There are two cats... one on the exhaust manifold and another under the car. You basically lose one cat when you install a header, and smog shops are trained to look for the cat and for modifications. They're not going to "miss" checking it unless it's a really crappy shop.
