headers

[ryunosuke]

kinda wanna get new headers anyone have any suggestions, wat makes them better/worse ? how do you actully install headers? are OBX Exhaust Headers a good brand? would it be more damaging or better for the engine? and will it make the car sounds more agressive? also dose anone know wheres i can get a new exhust ;something duel with some nice large pipes ?

[DjJester88]

DONT GET OBX!!!!! THATS EBAY BRAND!!!!! And the motor damaging thing, ask the "specialists" on this forum, lol

you got a V6 in your mr2? otherwise you will most likely only need one header.

[MR2Jedi]

1.)1 header = MR2 N/A or

2.)Exhaust manifold= MR2 Turbo

which one do you need ?

A header for the N/A would help along with a less restrictive intake and muffler. you may pick up between 10 & 15 hp.

The stock exhaust manifold for the MR2 turbo can take you into the 400HP range.(along with many other mods of course)

and I have heard nothing but bad things about the OBX.

OBX kinda sucks but unfortunately for N/A owners its pretty much all thats out there.

and no matter what you do its still a corolla motor.

[MR2Jedi]

Corolla? I was not aware that the MR2 and corolla shared the same engine...

[MRQtwinturbo]

5SFE is a camry motor...MK1 shared 4AGE with corollas....

[MR2Jedi]

^ I see..I thought the original poster specified 2nd gen.

[MRtuned]

ah, my bad. The 5SFE was also in the 5th and 6th gen celica, but not corolla. the 4AGE was in the 5th and 6th gen corollas. I didn't see the gen 2 sign.

it's cool.. The gen2 sign was stashed in the corner. I almost missed it too.

I wouldn't go that far. They're good, dependable economy cars.

OBX and SSautochrome is terrible, do not waste your money.SSautochrome is under a lawsuit for there downpipes, they are known to cause your wastegate to stick open and then you blow your knock sensor......If you have to choose between the for budget, go OBX....and good luck...

[MR2Jedi]

ryunosuke has yet to even specify if it's N/A or turbo. I have a feeling it's N/A. In which case the pipes will not be exposed to near the heat a turbo puts out and a header from either company may be ok in that application.
