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

YAY! Since i am going with a corolla header and downpipe, i decided to replace my cat, and muffler while i was at it. I am so happy. The muffler should be in monday, I think I spent about 90 on the muffler, 60 on the cat, and about 100 shipped on the header and downpipe. Then about 100 for install from the downpipe on. this muffler shop im taking it to is very cheap in this area, and also does really great work, but nobody is willing to install the header and downpipe for me. Looks like i'll be doing it in his parking lot and pushing it into his shop. LOL. I'll have pics soon.
