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 |

Wo thank you, I dont have access to a welder but I can take care of burrs for the most part, is it mainly around the flanges or is there some more in the header, like the around the o2 sensors and what not?
