Yesterday at pick n pull I discovered an Ebay 5SFE chrome header in a 5th gen celica. So for $30 I took it home to test it out. Here is the results: Since I have a CA spec car, I mounted both o2 sensors. No CEL. Unfortunately I snapped the lower right exhaust bolt so I'm using a bandaid approach and used a thick metal S bracket and torqued it down with the bolt that holds the coolant pipe below the exhaust manifold. Seems to hold just fine and no exhaust leaks that I can tell. I'll have to most likely drill out the bolt and retap it.
Nice find! Pacesetter headers? One of the better 4-1's with a correct firing order (cyl's fire in a circle to create a vortex and better suction) I hope you didn't hurt yourself lifting the anchor (FE) headers out Yours looked like this? OBX looks similar, but longer primaries
Not the OBX one, slightly different. Most likely this one or similiar: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Exhaust-Hea...es&hash=item2ebf3ecbc0&vxp=mtr#ht_2307wt_1504 Yes lifting that exhaust manifold a headache and getting the lower o2 sensor off was an even bigger headache. Now I still have a broken bolt in there I'll be fixing today. I drove her around yesterday with no exhaust leak noises and she was loud as hell. Roars like crazy from underneath the hood. I also don't have the hood liner anymore.
so a 5SFE header will fit my 3SFE with no modification at all? I have found 3SFE headers on ebay, but are more expensive than 5SFE ones..
