Corolla headers? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #35786 9 posts Started by bdog_v
Hello I have been shopping for the best price in headers and have found the 1.8 liter Corolla headers to be the lowest in price.
-Someone on here mentioned these would fit our celicas correct? Ihave a 94 2.2 liter celica.


-What mods would have to be made to fit the Corolla header to the celica? It looks like it would bolt right in!
Even the downpipe with the flexpiece in it looks to have the correct bends in it... or am I wrong?



-I beleive the only mod needed is to change the O2 sensors mounting hole as it is on the wrong side or will it reach to that side?


Here is what I was looking at: on e-bay

*I was also looking at the MR2 header but the bottom had a bend in it that would have to be cut off and straightened....

-So what do you guys think a corolla header for $100, I don't care about looks just performance and how it fits..................



-The only difference I see in the design is that all of the corolla headers turn into two pipes were the header bolts to the downpipe where the celica has just one big pipe......

-Now I am wondering if this would make a big difference in performance or why there is the difference in the design???? I don't want to use the corolla header if it doesn't match the 2.2 liters needs for a properly designed exhaust header???????
a 1.8L corolla header only fits a 1.8L celica wink.gif

if you want a header look for camery or mr2

yeah, you have the 5sfe, that header is for the 1.8L 7afe
D*** figures, but that makes sense!!!!!
O.k. stupid question time!!! Have you ever actually tried a 1.8liter exhaust manifold on a 2.2 liter motor? Or is it obvious in a picture that they don't match?

-I say this as on my isuzu 4 cylinder motors the 1.8, 2.3, 2.6 all could use the same exhaust manifold and intake as they bolted right on and many people said this could not be done without ever actually trying it first.... Thanks again......
they don't.....just get a 5sfe header wink.gif
the bolt pattern on the head is different between the A and S block heads.
