I recently bought a stock 94 celica, and I have found that there arent many companies that offer sweet headers for the GT. Well, being that I am a welder/fabricator, I think I will design and prototype one myself. I was wondering if there would be anyone else intersted in a header for this model, because I can build a jig for small scale manufacturing of these things if there is a market for them. I will also be designing a strut tie system, and ladder bar setup for this car, so let me know if anyone is interested in these items as well. I want to gauge if its worth my trouble building jigs for all this stuff. I originally planned on just doing my own custom one off designs, but if there is enough feedback, I will consider manufacturing and selling these items on a small scale.

I fully agree. That's why I made my own. Just letting you know.
On the topic: I hand make my strut tower braces specific to the car. I have done many for MR2's and no two will fit each other. It's all about the holes fitting the bolts perfectly. 1/16" on each side of oversized hole will cause 1/8" of flex before the brace does it's job. For this reason I have turned down offers on this site to make them for other Celicas. Makes mass production, even small runs like you suggest, difficult unless the buyer has a way to fit it to his car. What may fit your car may not fit mine without slop - you get the idea.

And to answer your question from the title above: '94-'99
