Need advice 4 Heders for Gen 3 I4

[keylogger]

Ok. Lets begin with me saying that i need new headers for increasing horsepower and torque. So far i have seen headers for the Gen 3 5SFE from Bosal and some other one for about 500 bucks. Thats too much for me. So i was thinking either buy this headers from OBX 1991-1995 Toyota MR2 Non-Turbo. I cracked open the headers and they look like they have the same flange. The only problem is will it fit.

I could always get the oldheader and make a custom one or buy the one from bosal.
How much are custom headers?

So guys, what do you think? Will it fit?
Thanks for the replys.


Obx headers @ http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-E...spagenameZWDVW
if link does not work just type "obx headers mr2" in ebay

why is that in bold print?

Headers are not cheap, no matter what you do you're prolly looking at a couple hundred (unless you do the welding and such yourself). As far as the MR2 headers fitting, i dunno, but since the mr2 wears its engine on the other side of the passenger compartment, i'd venture a guess that it won't fit properly in a camry.

They will fit. but they are a piece of crap. They will crack. They weld 2 different metals together. So beware. I posted the same topic awhile back.

they wont always crack....... they just MAY crack over time.

Interesting guys, RedPhoenix and zoni, thanks for your helpfulness

[RedPhoenix]

Thats true. But a lot of guys on mr2oc and celicatech say they are nice when they get them but go back to the stock manifold cause they have cracked.

I love my Ripp headers, but I know theyre getting more and more difficult to get a hold of... I guess you get what you pay for sometimes. good luck

the problem with these is they do so much mass production and they use lesser quality materials.

Technncally it is "header".. no "s"..... if the car was a V6 and there were two tubular exhaust manifolds on the engine then you could refer to them as headers...

That being said.. how many companies manufacture a header for the 2.2?

[RedPhoenix]

1 for the camry but Rippmods is going to stop making them soon, or already have.

Zoni will be soon too.

we just made the 5sfe CAI prototype last week. it is now in the hands of the mandrel bender so we can get a final product made in aluminum. we used a K&N filter on the prototype and eit sounded AWESOME. cant wait to see what we get back from the mandrel bender.
after that, it is CAI for 1mz, then exhausts for 5sfe and 1mz, then headers.

I'll be selling mine a couple months down the road. If you can wait that long
