Dude, get hotshot headers, ebay headers are probable crap. Plus, hotshot headers are only 350.

My bad, here it is for $322...

I agree that there is a lot of crap on e-bay...
But some time you can get good shit too...

Well, I heard that some of the ebay no name headers can actually make you lose horsepower. I'd say you are taking a considerable risk. Besides, what's an extra $122 dollars when it comes to an important performance part for your car?

i would save and get the hotshot headers, imma do that around july

I agree "No name" items are shitty.
So what is the best or good brand???

hotshot

Sweet. So is it easy to install???Or easy to fuck up? Can i do it my self?
P.S. TRD - HotShot Difference????

just serach ebay for a name brand header thats brand new if thats what you want. ebay almost always has anything you are looking for. not just crap.

he's right

isn't dc coming out with headers for the celi

yeah...gt version is already out and gts is due out this month sometime.

i would think they would have better gains but just guessing

thats what they are claiming. remains to be seen if the retuned the ecu for those gains yet..or if they did a pure bolt-on for the header

yeah, i'm just think because of there other applications

well, in my opinion you can't go wrong with dc sports. they have a real good history of quality.

isn't dc sports comeing out with some headers for the GTS also ?

lol yes. scroll up a couple of posts.

i think dc headers are CARB exempt...where is there on line where i can find dc headers for the GT??

you can try searching...but we (me and a few others on a previous thread). i don't think the orginal thread said headers in it or something? it might have all been in a link. will post if i find it though

yeah i tried...google and typed dc headers,celica 2000 dc headers,etc. and i didn't find anything on the GT for headers...

i know that is was posted no earlier than the 8th of this month. so thats 7 days. and i should have been posted in this forum "custom mods". but still...thats a hell of a lot of posts to search through.

so does DC really make headers for the GTcelica, and if so would they be better than the hotshot headers, and how hard is it to install headers in a GT?

dc sports does make one for the gt. supposedly they make better power than the hotshots, but i havnt seen dynos to compare them yet. both companies are fine, although i still prefer dc sports.

the installation is bolt-on..but its not simple. i'd say more difficult than cai or exhaust, but much easier than turbo (which unless you are a mechanic you should not do).

i looked for an install guide but all they have is for the amss headers for the gts. you might want to check it out anyway though..it should be at least similar.

and if you're not certain..you can always go to an autoshop, ableit for a price.

yup go with hot shot

give yourself a lot of time to do the install. be especially careful when removing the bolts that attach the headers to the block!!! i cant stress that enough. the bolts there are often not in the best shape and can strip easily. belive me, i stripped one of those bolts and it took a good 5-6 hours just to get the one bolt off. take your time and be prepaired to climb under your car about a million times othere than that the install is fairly easy. the only thing besides the bolt that gave my trouble was removing the heatsheild and headers themselves. its not such a big space. also i took the valve cover off and didnt unbolt the engine cradle.

here it is!!! DC header for 00'+ GT!...now i'm trying to read up if it's carb exempt...

sweet! i couldnt find that for anything!

what is carb exempt anyway? not familiar with that term.

i don't think carb applies to you since you don't reside in california...it's basically an emissions thing. if it is carb legal then i want one bad.

i only see a hotshot header

hotshot, enough said.

dammit! i typed out DC header celica 2000 and that is what it gave me...anyway i went to http://www.dcsports.com/home.html

no mention of the celica...

where are the springs that are on the bolts from the downpipe onto the header????

u cant see it, its behind

is the bolt on the left different from the one on the right? looks smaller than the stock one?

So what is the difference between the "Hotshot"($350) and "TRD"($700) Headers?

I wasn't aware that TRD made a header for the GT.

DUH j/k

Anyone know any sepcifics on the GTS application. Ceramic or stainless? 4:2:1? how much?

trial: stainless steal. 4:1. 6-8 hundred dollars.

TRd doesnt make headers for GT, they only do for the GTS

and yea, i dont know if this GT DC header thing is real or just BS, i want to see some proff, kuz no1 can find them

im going with the hotshot headers for sure, no questions

if you go to dcsports web site they say the headers for the gt are under development so it's not bs they just haven't put them into production
