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

No? I just am going to have lots of money, you see its nearing christmas time, and I work at Best Buy, so we are generally going to get now 40-50 hours a week, and Im part time! So my car comes first, even over my girlfriend who has been hounding me for a ring for the past 4 months... I plan to replace the entire exhaust, I'd like to do a load of other stuff while i have the money... if anybody has suggestions of what i should do let me know.
