Brand new Celica owner, have a few quick questions..
1. I bought the car for less than 3k. previous owner dropped a 2.0 block in it from a 2000 Camry(sad right?) what is going to be my price range of getting a 2.2(or better) back in it? 2. are engine swaps really as awful as I've heard on these things? 3. whats a good sounding(not ricer) exhaust for these babies? I owned a 87 Porsche 944 before this, and have thought this'll be alittle easier to work on. I'm hoping thats accurate. Thanks for the help in advance! |

Not my area of expertise but I've always heard that you can't go wrong with the Greddy SP2 or any of the Magnaflow mufflers. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
