Well i know ive been in and out mostly because the GB, lets face it, hasnt really been a group buy. This is probably not due to price but more for the raw fact that power gain will be minimal.

Im thinking guna think about teh header next year and focus on getting a nice 1911/2011 .45 cal airsoft side arm.

my main reason for getting the header is because i am going to put the RIPP Mods supercharger on my celica and want a freer flowing exhaust to make the most out of the supercharger and other engine mods that i plan to do.

I got the same plan, but do u think the header will really imrpove that much, the factory manifold is pretty free flowing anyway?

the factory manifold may be free flowing but with the cat mounted to the manifold there is resistance to exhaust flow less than a foot from the engine. The header is also lighter than the cast iron stock manifold found on celics. with running a supercharger more air is going into the motor so more air is coming out of the motor, so the header will help more with the supercharger that with out one. This is my opinion if it is wrong i don't mind if you correct me.

I say that you guys who arent even interested cut pimped6thgen some slack....

If you arent interested, leave this topic. At least he's considerate enough to share his ability to purchase them with our community and not say "the hell with the rest of you". So please, a little respect. For those interested, this is not a bad deal at all, and I dont see how it could be.

That said, I may be interested in this header so ill let you know if i can swing it. Thanks for hooking us up. smile.gif

just a though for you guys worried about the $ issue on these headers, Which I personally think is way to high but not ripping on this GB - thats just IMO... newayz.. you can buy dyno tested headders off ebay all day long for 150 or less.. a machine shop would charge you 30-40 tops to make a flange to mount the header to the motor and prolly another 20-30 to rebend/weld pipes into place... Just an option for ya guys to look at if your worried about price vs performance.

Otherwise if you just want something prebuilt jump on this, but I would wait for the person that order one already to post.

As pimped6gen said i recieved my header today. The header is at my house in maryland so i will be home friday and will try to have some pics posted on friday or satruday. I will be putting the header on in december when I am home for winter break, since I have some other projects that I want to get done first. I will try to get some dyno numbers from before and after the change and will also post some pics of what it looks like installed on my celica

Pimped, what kind of price are we looking at if I order along with two others? Just curious about a general price or timeframe involved. PM me if you have any news.

It would be a huge help to see these dyno'd before and after. I think you would sell alot more if there was some sort of data. Maybe you twou could split the cost of two pulls of something?

yea shid did i ever tell you that u r the coolest person on this site?  You seem to know everything about anything...u have one of these headers on ur car? oh wait u dont...so what were u saying about them not fitting?  I know poeple with these headers and they didnt seem to have any problems with fittment.  I think u should take your comments somewhere else... and as for sapperk yes i know i told you that... i am one of the few that know how to get ahold of these headers but i personly couldnt tell you what compnay i am getting them from.  I am getting them from a tuner shop in the area.  The thing is that they wont even tell me where they get um from!  So dont come down on me and get pissed....trust me if i knew i would tell you, im not that kind of person!  I hope you decide to buy one from me...u let me know!

Wow

First off, try paragraphs when you're writing. It's like stickers on your car- you might not have the horsepower under the hood but people THINK you do.

My comments are valid- I do NOT have one of these headers on my car but I was looking into it about 6 months back and did my research- I've been around the site a great deal longer than you and have become and active member of the community (which is why I have more boxes and 1500 more posts than you). I have read through entire threads on genie and hotshot headers; and I posted the results of those threads.

These headers are built for the CAMRY engine- headers built for that engine have always "fit" our car, but require modification (more than just moving the oil dipstick). I'm interested if SiKBOY redid his entire exhaust with these headers- because if I remember correctly, the issue was the piping was a good 4 inches off (this is the issue with any camry header) because of the location of the camry (tranny?)(suspension?) and the exhaust path it takes is different on our cars.

As far as your PM to Sappark saying that you think it's fun to be the only one able to get them- that IS ****ed up. This isn't a group buy- it's a single buy with one intermediate too many. For all we know you're sticking an extra 100 on the asking price.

QUOTE
good luck with your ct26..hope it ends up lookin as good as ur face!


He'll more hp pound for pound and dollar for dollar out of that than he would with your mystery piping- and he won't have to worry about getting a part that doesn't fit.

As for your personal insult against him; you're such a big man aren't you? Running the group buy by yourself and selling to individuals, learning to write in paragraphs, calling people ugly- you've done so much for the community.

Considerate is the last thing I'd call him. Respect is also something he's not going to get from me at all.

This could easily be a bad deal, for things that I and others have brought up before me (that were uhh.. respectfully shot down by pimped)

What it comes down to right now is that this is not a group buy; pimped is offering to sell these headers to individuals and promoting his own business (buy headers through me and no one else)
