anyone used the speed daddy header? the surewin only have 2 o2 sensor, this one had 2. im in cali and gotta pass smog and what not... i know i should post in the other thread, but this one is active

the surewinproducts previously only had 1 hole, the newer version which has been out for a while now has 2 holes for the 2 sensors.
all st204s have these 2 sensors, it doesn't matter if it is from california or not.
the racedesignimport only has 1 hole, so it will need to be modified.

Well that just sucks. I never saw one that said 2. guess i shoulda asked her before i bought the Speed Daddy Ones.


you said racedesignimport only has one, but mine are speed daddys.. i asked the guy directly if there are 2 holes, and he said yes. are we talking bout the same one?

^ I just checked ebay, Speed Daddy had a '97-'99 'racing' 4-2-1 header for $85 and a regular 94-99 header for $55. Racedesign also had one, but I saw no Surewin product.

i got my 95 header for my st delivered to my door for 93 dollars
and he said it has 2 o2 sensors.


my question is, has anyone used them on here? i did a search but found nothing.

i was talking about for the 5sfe, not the 7afe.
surewinproducts only makes a header for the 5sfe.

[trdproven]

ebay products look exactly the same as surewin products based on the pics.

is there no other brands for the 5sfe?

[Promasta]

yes trdproven there is the obx header for the 5sfe, see here:
http://www.obxracingsports.com/products.php?pk=960

I do not have it so I cannot give feedback.

[trdproven]

yea i knew OBX had one but no one ever commented on them whether they fit. Looks like a real complete header. I wonder why the GT one only starts at 95-98

[cardshark525]

The OBX header you will not be able to get from what I've gathered from the company.

When I ordered mine they refunded my money immediately and when I called and asked what was up they told me that the product was on back-order for months and suggested I look elsewhere.

I personally think they just stopped making them because I couldn't even get a clear answer as to when they were going to be available.

^^^Thanks, real good to know.

Do you guys think it would be worth the $200 to ceramic coat the surewinproducts header?
I know it would look good forever and there would be a lot less heat in the engine bay.

[trdproven]

thats what I wanted to do. but i need first a worth it header. i wish there was a dc sports one for our cars.

i think its vaporware, i doubt any of those photos are of the actual part.

[Smaay]

you will not pass the visual in CA SMOG test with this header. but its only a 30 minute job, swap the stock back on, SMOG it, then swap it back.

[RavenAegis45]

looks good i was thinking for doing the same just waiting till i have to smog my car 1st so i wont have to worry about that for a few years. But your red coated valve cover and block look sweet too

[99GT]

Wrapping is not necessary right?

[Smaay]

no wrapping is not necessary.

[na2g]

its that the stock down pipe connected to the header...

[BonzaiCelica]

my brother has a 95 camry dx with a 5sfe manual. He has an obx 4-1 header that was around $220. I dont know if it would fit the celica or not... anybody know if it will?
