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

thats good because i lvoe do it yourselfing! i was thinking about buying a new cat while i was at all of this, and new muffler, maybe just get a pipe clamped on for the time being until i get a new cat. so, if that was going to be the case, i could wait like 2 weeks and get it all welded. I must wait 2 weeks for paycheck to role on in... 90 hour paychecks generally get the job done a lot better than 30 hour 40 hour ones...
