I got tired waiting for my fabricator to get started on building my pipes for my turbo system, so i spent some pocket change and got the Ebay header. Install was very simple. i did have to loosen the alternator to get the header around that stud, but that was it. took me abot 30 minutes to install.
Before.  During  After    after a quick trip around the block  Now for review....This header was an excellent bang for the buck. Cost was about 110 after shipping. i can feel a huge difference in acceleration. Im on stock exhaust from the header back so the car is still very quiet. In fact, i dont hear much of a change in engine noise. But the Butt dyno says more power is there. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

headers makes your 3rd gear stretch, better top end. but after the headers I did get an EGR CEL code. Must be dealing with the way the whole headers thing works with the engine now. More carbon?
