WEE! Finally a legit reason to tell my parents why i need to buy a new header. Although I am very excited I am not at the same time, by the fact that I am very poor, and I have little knowledge about sizes. I was told that I can get Corolla headers, as they are both 7afe engines, yes this makes sense. BUT, i needed to modify the downpipe slightly, this would require a shop doing it yes? That costs way too much i would think, or maybe not... ANd also how big in diameter can I go? can i increase my Cat conv and my downpipe as well as the rest of my exhaust at one point and see a significant increase? anybody know? Second thing is where to get them!? i have searched ebay and yes they ahve corolla headers, but will they be reliable?


Please, no "noob" replies... I know these are probably stupid questions and I shouldnt be considering doing it myself if I have to ask these questions, but there is no other way to learn than to ask

the extension can be done for like 40$ at a monroe, midas ect... shop

to change all of it would cost like 200$...but you won't feel much on the ol'butt dyno...upping the diameter to 2" or 2.25" would be the biggest you'd want to go really

and if you aska noob question you'll get a noob answer...there are other ways to learn...searching first is a critical skill to learn early on in your forum posting days, along with reading the faqs and how-tos... good luck
