Hey guys! new to the forum, but not to the car, Found the after market finally for my Celica GT! Options

[UndecidedPC9397]

so as it says, I found this forum almost by mistake but found a thread with a black Celica that had been turbo'd and im back in the Celica groove. Im not thinking of really boosting the car... yet but I do what better exhaust and intake. im gonna attempt to go with that 90-93 accord CAI kit idea and get custom exhaust.
First thing I wanted to know is whos tuning Celicas in minnesota, cuz I would love to meet you guys. and also with my exhaust, I still need to find a fab shop to do my exhaust but I was think of doing a full custom exhaust (header to muffler) and wanted to know how much that might run and if anyone has done it with there 5S-FE? I have alot more things Id like to figure out (getting JDM tails, suspension, rims, etc.) but I wanna get this figured and get some rough numbers before anything else, because I hate that butt ugly stock exhaust manifold. Thank you

Thank you guys so much for the responces! I didnt know people would respond to this so quick, took me by surprise! So just to clear things up:

Any header for a 3S-GE or 5S-FE will fit. You may have to custom fab a down pipe, but you are planning that anyway. Tannabe made the Medalion G-Power headers for a while and they're rare, but you can find eBay remakes for decently cheap. JASMA isn't a brand, it's the "Japanese Automotive Sport Muffler Association." Anything that's JASMA certified is worth money and good.

I ran through this idea too, but someone on another forum said it doesnt help much performance wise, as he said: 'Youre replacing a stock header with a stock header'.
And since our oil filters for the 2.2's are right up front, would it hinder the ability to get at the filter? and where do you find JASMA certified goodies? do they have a site you can look thru?

thank you for saying HEADER!!!!!!

you're welcome? lol
i always call it a header

lots of people say headerS here even though its only one... since we only have one head... well most of us

Hey, if you really wanted to, you probably could get 2 and have dual exhaust. That would be a pretty interesting idea. And talking about headers just went some crazy direction Ive never seen

well....idk how exactly to take that. lol you have two heads,,,, in your engine bay.. or... two heads total, but not in the same bay.. or... anatomically

but i def have two heads in my engine bay

like I said, s*** just flew out the window.

And this is something else ive wondered for a while. Why is the aftermarket so hard to find for these cars? it took me about a year to find this forum, but it has eveything! and it got me so stoked for my build.
