Header information?, Update! Please advise! Options

***Update-6-29***

I need to buy a new header, my oem is horribly cracked w/a half-assed weld job, and the heat shield is cracked and missing half the bolts. I've searched the site and found that most of you have bought the ebay aftermarket header(typically for the corolla), and have to do some modifications to make it fit(i.e. welding an extra piece of pipe, making a second bung hole for the second o2 sensor). That's all fine with me if I absolutely have to, but was wondering if anyone has purchased the one from M2 Performance: http://www.m2performance.net/product/produ...?productid=5932 Supposedly it's just for the Celica, or are there still mods as mentioned above? I'm not sure I even have the second o2 sensor as I have not been able to get under my car yet, and I have only an all stock 1.8 ST engine. Ideally I'd still like to be able to pass emissions though, so I don't know if this modification is worth the hassle if I can't pass emissions without a stock header. Thanks for any info you guys can share!

I'm still thinking of selling my spare 5zigen bolt on exhaust, looks similar to a greddy SP1, I have pics all over this site on my two exhausts. I have not decided to sell it YET cus shipping alone is roughly 200 to ship overseas. Im in Guam - US Territory out in the Pacific, near to Australia, near to Philippines, Near to Japan, closest to US State Hawaii - if you dont know where Guam is.

I am currently running the greddy sp2, they are a very very very rare item, that if you found someone selling it on this forum, its really who cares about the price to get it. I'd check these forums everyday, craigslist, Japan Auctions (nengun), and ebay. According to all online vendors they do not have it in stock anymore. Only god knows if local stores still have them. Heck I even did a filter search for the keyword greddy on this forum to asked everyone who owned one to sell theirs, LOL.

Its been said on one thread that an ST202 (3sge) exhaust bolts up to our ST204s (7afe/5sfe) because thats more options for you for N/A exhausts like Kakimoto, Fujitsubo, etc. - whatever Japan has for exhausts I'm confident as well it would fit, but if it doesn't that would be a minor piping and weld job for any muffler shop, as it would utilize/follow the same tunnel under the car for the most part for our FWD. If its too long cut, reweld, bolt on. if its too short, cut, add piping, reweld, bolt on. alot of people are also picky about how the muffler mounts exactly for our cars (height mounted, protruding distance from the bumper sticking in our out, hangers) so that takes care of it for the most part, the welding part people don't mind.

Just some ideas for you.
