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!

also for example would this bolt up to our motors?

you should not get a 3sgTe exhaust because thats too big for N/A power. but for that exhaust manifold on ebay, I saw a GT on here with that same header design and it was from a 3sge, because 5sfe aftermarket headers is distinct is how I can tell the difference. One thing I have to point out, look at the bottom the collector ends up with two, this is a 4-2-1 header setup so you will need that 2nd pipe for the 3sge as well, the 5sfe header is a 4-1 and bolts on already. I would just get the ebay Surewin header, sold by many vendors, its really the only option the 5s has and is bolt-on.

something like this to connect to that 3sge header from that link, more to buy or wtvr fabricate, more to worry if you get that ebay one. also have to think about what you are going to do with that sensor hole, if thats the O2 sensor down there, since I don't see on the header itself, you may have to extend wiring.
