Im sure some others may be pondering the same question.
How loud does an aftermarket header make the 5sfe 2.2l on our celicas? What muffler/exhaust can be used to keep the car not very loud with a deep tone.

Any suggestions would be awesome.

it all depends on how you set it up, it could sound good or crappy.
there are plenty of threads on this too

Can you post a link? I've searched high and low.

search under my name, i did a writeup on the ebay header. it didnt make the car any louder that i can remember. maybe a little deeper.

thank you

Ask member azn87 for a video. I know he posted a video with an eBay header and a GReddy SP2 catback, I just don't know where it's at. It was also on the 5S motor. It sounded nice and throaty.

Made my 7a quite louder, stock from header back.

Thank you to every for your help.

another quick question. Does anyone know where to get a 5sfe pulley thats not made of platinum from unorthodox racing. They want like $800 for there crank pulley

the intake definately made it a little louder, headers didnt make a big difference if any,


but when i installed my borla pro-sx muffler and i was pretty satisfied...

it wasn't really loud, but at high rpm, it was a beast, ill post a video soon if u want

that would be awesome if you could

headers do make your car louder on the 5sfe.. it removes the cat. so it will be a bit louder. nothing to much but with a combo of header and intake the sounds will be much more noticable.

So with a header and intake on the 5s, with just a generic canister style muffler, is it gunna sound a good loud? or a bad loud?
If that makes any sense haha.

i had probably the most setups for this possible..

1 stock manifold, stock piping until resonator, then 2 1/2 back to a magnaflow (quiet but had a nice growl)
2stock manifold, stock piping with NO resonator, then 2 1/2 back to the magnaflow. (sounded the best out of all the designs i had.)
3 header, no cat, no resonator, 2 1/2 piping to magnaflow. (so loud i couldnt talk to the pasenger @ 50mph)
4 header, nocat, resonator(stock one) 2 1/2 piping to magnaflow. (had it on for about 7 months, sounded like a subaru sometimes. i liked it)
http://www.youtube.com/user/alpinecelicagt...u/2/fjTgydQU98Q ( fast forward to 3 mins, this is what #4 sounds like under heavy accel.)

and finally #5 header, no cat, magnaflow in the middle of the car 2 1/4 inch piping back to the stock muffler (imo feels like this one makes the car much much faster off the line and through the power band. also doenst sound bad at all)
