Im new here and I need more performance, 94 Celica ST Hatchback 86,000 miles. Options

[aEr]

Hi Everybody,

I just purchased a used 94 Celica ST Hatchback with 86,000 for $5,000(I also have a 99 Pontaic Grand Am V6). I have read throughout the website and I noticed that there arent to many parts for my engine, but the parts that I did see had no links to websites that provide these parts. I already have the Dolecek Dr.CAI, and Jet reprogrammed chip(after mods) on my "Need to Buy List", but I also want to get an exhaust system and headers. What exhaust system will give me the most power gains and that is also legal in California? I dont really care about the sound but the deeper the better.

I think the Dolecek exhaust system is not legal in California. I know that Greddy makes an exhaust system for the GT but will that fit on an ST also?

I also want to purchase some heads but all the posts I've read have no links and no pricing. Can someone give me link where I can find some headers for my ride?

Sorry for all the questions, but Thanks!. PEACE.

Dont worry about it, these questons get asked alot by people who have just bought a Celica...just do some research in the parts database on this site, and you'll find a decent ammount of parts available for the 7a-fe engine.

As far as bolt on mods go, such as exhaust, intakes, etc....you'll only see a very small increase in HP, because the 7a-fe is a lower output economy engine, so basically dont expect any real noticable gains from bolt-ons, just so you dont get your hopes up.

You can get the Greddy SP for your ST, and it would fit perfectly....it sounds nice and deep too, although i dont know about being legal in cali....and for a header, there are several choices, most meant for the corolla's 7a-fe, but it will fit the Celica ST.

You could also get a lightened flywheel and performance clutch to help get more power to the ground from the flywheel if power is what youre after. Welcome to the site and good luck with the Celica, you'll learn alot if you just hang around these forums for a while.
