Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Need help with choosing Headers.

What headers do you suggust I get? I have a 2000 GTS I have TRD exhaust and Injen Intake. I need some low end pwr.

Trial

trial to much money... DC headers is the way to go if ya dont want to spend that much money... makes ur car sound so nice!!!

Is it a deep or a high whine?

the headers themself dont put off a sound... it made my engine a lot louder (and deeper) and made my exhaust sound a lil louder and deeper!!! i love it

nobody mentioned a price ceiling... I'd take Trial any day over DC

- the economical choice would definitely be DC though

yes i agree

WHy? Do you get more whp? Sorry for so many Q's just I don't want to get crap. I have a 600 budget.

yes, trial will give you more whp but im not sure how much it costs... with 600 you could buy 2 sets of dc headers...

sultan will prolly post soon with the prive of trials...

Alright guys, I have never paid any attention to threads concerning headers, since I never thought I would buy them, but now I'm actually considering getting them.

My pc is really fucked up right now. Something hijacked my browser so whenever I search (on any site) I get an error message and crash.

Can someone post a link to some dynos and prices for both of the headers? For the GTS obviously.

Thanks.

stock - 153 112 tq
dc header - 163 119tq

^^^
that was on a celica with no mods (bone stock) and after with the DC header...

What about the Trial?

DC Sports Header on Stock Celica...

Dyno run on modded Celica...

-TRD exhaust
-CAI (AEM)
-TRD Japan Flywheel
-AEM alternator pulley
-Quaife LSD
-Grounding Wires
-Full synthetic Mobil 1 (5w30)
-94 octane gas

178.2 HP and 122.5 TQ

...with the Trial gen3 Header:

184.6 HP (+6.4 HP) and 125.4 TQ (+2.9 TQ )

...keep in mind that the more mods you add to a car, the less gain you can expect from any one mod. Hence, the stock celica had a 10 hp gain after installing the DC header while the modded celi only received 6.4 hp from the Trial gen3 header.

- unfortunately, I can't find a stock vs. Trial header dyno to compare against the stock vs DC header... but it still gives you some idea as to Performance gains


... imo, if you have the cash, get Trial. But if you want to maximize the amount of mods your money can buy - purchase the DC header. To some, the small Performance advantage and more recognized name of Trial is not worth the extra $300-400

Thanks I do appriciate it.

your welcome bro...

good info

I wasn't considering a header, but I went to summit racing and saw one and wanted it

what's the best price for dc headers and where can I get them?

285 + shipping...

Yea,
Hop Up is a good place. I ordered my Intake from them and it took two days to get it. They have the best price for the stuff also.

how much HP would a Trial header give on a GT?

i think the trial header is a peace of shit, they want close to one G for a damn header, and the dynos show only 6 whp, while dc header is only 300 and shows 10, i went with the dc sport header, and i tell u, im glad i did, after you hit that 7k rpm bamm, there is such a bost, i cant discrive, dc all the way

^^^
actually, if one were to dyno a car with only the Trial header installed, it would produce gains at least equivalent to the DC if not slightly greater (my bet is on the latter)

... read my clarification post after the dynos I listed

If money isn't an issue I would go Trial or TRD (I know) all the way over DC also. I have yet to see some conclusive proof on the DC header. Maybe because I was away for a bit and missed some great break through on the dynos. I don't know. But if money really wasn't an issue I would try to get a hold of that Brash Boy (or whatever they are calling themselves these days) header. The one for around $2400. I can't find a pic of it on their site, but hell if I had money to burn I would go into uncharted territories.

Where are those dynos from the DC header coming from anyway? Just out of curiosity.

Look above they are listed.

DC Sports...for basic needs
Higher Performance...get Trial.

Its all about how much you want to pay.

My wife got me DC sports header and AEM pullies for anniversary. the header is great need to get the pullies installed DC all the way . Allways remember celi's are 4 cyclinder engines we have a header not headers

summit racing has them for 269 plus shipping, but then I've found them on ebay for 250 including shipping

how much does an install run for a "header" on the celica...dc, trial, brash boy, im sure it all costs about the same...im mechanically inclined but this seems like a job for a pro

oh and btw...i would probably go with dc..since its the most bang for the buck
