Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior easy header qeustion ?

I am just looking to see who makes headers for a 2000 gts nothing else just the companies and posibly any componies that WILL be making headers thanks

TRD

DC Sports

Hot Shot

TPR (Hopefully)

Those are the only ones I know...

hotshot...

TRD (approx - $900) Not worth it IMO. gains of 1-3 whp

DC sports (approx - $250) worth it if you just want an aftermarket header. gains of 1-2 whp

Trial (approx - $800) This is a gamble. You'll either lose hp or gain as much as 5. majority lose power or gain 1-3 hp

Hot shot does not make a GTS header

TPR will be coming out with the first race header hopefully sometime this year.



I know it's more info then you wanted but it's better to make an informed decision

Hot shot only makes a headder for the GT NOT GTS

Some headers are not street legal, BTW. Most (save for the DC) are not carb approved, and are considered race-only parts.

Those headers with the theta pipe (that little metal divider plate at the flange) are street legal (Trial, DC and TRD have the theta pipe)

if it has dual runners going to the flange, it will not be street legal; the Theta pipe is what allows the catalytic convertor to heat up enough to be effective. If the Theta pipe is missing and it's just dumping into the cat pipe, the cat will not heat up enough and your cat will clog or you may very well fail emissions.

This is also why the factory header was designed with that divider plate at the flange.

Hotshot does make good headers, so if you own, or know someone who owns a GT, and are looking for a header, I'd recommend the hotshot. Not for GTS though, like others have said already.

I believe Midnight Performance also designed a header, but it was never marketed. the prototype went up for sale on e-bay not too long ago.

And TPR swears they will make this header, that's the one I will probably get, assuming it gets released eventually and it won't make my car fail emissions (which is entirely doable, since I live in Illinois)

thanks a lot people for the info it was very helpfull as my celi is currently in the shop ( again lol but i put it there this time not its self ) and im having a ton of work done to it but when it came down to headers the only one i knew of was dc and i had heard the power gain was alomost pointless that you would be buying it for the look and thats it...and i geuss while im on this does any one know what cc the gts injectors are and im going to be upgrading them and the fuel rail any inf on companys and upgrades in that area would be much appreciated thanks

also any one got a website for TPR?

also just a note and im note sure if its a known thing but brashboy has a 4-2-1 header for the gts

brashboy is a $2500 header that has never been proven to have gains. you could buy a turbo with a few pennies more.

and why you upgrading the injectors? even in lift and maxed tuning they arent more then 80% capacity.

um yeah you might want to call the companie on that cause i did its a website typo the cost is suppose to be 246.00 and i was asking about the injectors because im not to familure with them as far is the celice goes besides im getting the 2.1L stroker kit and putting in 14:1 compression pistons so im not to sure were the fuel ratios are going to sit after that so i was asking if there are upgrades to them or if they really do need to be upgrade any info can be helpfull thanks

see my sig for a website. the tpr header will have a swappable section. one will be a test pipe and one will be one with a CAT...

if you absolutely feel the need to use bigger injectors then you should get some off a 2003 gts. they're like 15cc or so bigger then the 2000-2002. if you need more then that there's something wrong in your tuning most likely.

lol ok cool thanks every one

wait for tpr
