Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Headers on a GT

Is it worth getting headers for a gt? If not what else could i get for around the same price? I want something that will help Performance. thanks

Well...headers will definately be a good investment...especially if you already have an aftermarket exhaust. DC Sport and Hotshot both make headers for the GT and if I'm not mistaken are both good for at least 5-7+ whp. The three first Performance mods I'd say to get are Intake, Header, Exhaust...then worry about some other stuff.

i already have i/e and i will look at headers and a ss till i save money for my Turbo

What kind of Intake, exhaust? I'm looking at getting a header for next spring, still not sure what kind yet. I've seen a few posts saying that TRIAL is putting out a header for the GT with good numbers.

GOt an injen Intake, with a custom exhaust with 2.5 piping from cat back

as stephen already said..get the dc motorsports header or hotshot header for the celica gt.

if you already have Intake and exhaust, your whp gains will be evne higher than 5-7 whp. synergy

Do you really think the hotshot headers are better than the DC sports for an extra 130.00. Are they worth it??

yeah, I heard that the hotshot header is built better than the DC header

and yes, its definitely worth it...the GT really really loves breather mods...and if you really want something nice...get the head ported...or get 11:1 internals like I did ...hehehe

yes get headers im going to they will be worth it

but later if you do get the Turbo ur not going to be able to use the headers

you can always just give the headers to me when you get your Turbo...friend

your 11:1 is why your GT likes breather mods. Stock GT's see little gains with basic bolt on's.

IMO, header on a GT is a waste of money, the 4hp gain you will get is not worth $400. 7hp or above gain on a celica is a pipe dream at best. Flame away I'm sure the rice boys don't see it that way.

how much did it cost to get 11:1 internals? Did it help your 1/4 time and by how much????? Thanks

It about 206 for a DC header on Ebay.

I'd get the headers, I've heard the Hotshot header does indeed put out 5-7whp gains on a stock GT, atleast that's what the dynos say... but who belives dynos these days
