1) People have tried this before
2) Back when these were being produced, they had major fitment problems
3) So you're paying 400 for a group buy thats never been sucessfully done before; and people who used to buy the headers basically had to toss them

bye

so whats the deal, do these fit or not?

pimped6gen told me that he wont give me the info on the company that is making these headers. He said it is fun for him to be the only one able to get them. Thats F#$@ED UP! I think... Anyone agree. The site has always been about us helping eachother out. So either he wont give us the info because he really thinks its fun, or he is trieing to rip us off. I dunno someone else decide...

sounds shady if you ask me...but hey its your money

yea shid did i ever tell you that u r the coolest person on this site? You seem to know everything about anything...u have one of these headers on ur car? oh wait u dont...so what were u saying about them not fitting? I know poeple with these headers and they didnt seem to have any problems with fittment. I think u should take your comments somewhere else... and as for sapperk yes i know i told you that... i am one of the few that know how to get ahold of these headers but i personly couldnt tell you what compnay i am getting them from. I am getting them from a tuner shop in the area. The thing is that they wont even tell me where they get um from! So dont come down on me and get pissed....trust me if i knew i would tell you, im not that kind of person! I hope you decide to buy one from me...u let me know!

and for you fastgt...dont u have a ct26or whatver u said u have? you said you have no use for this header? so y r u still posting in my forum? i dont know maybe i am just stupid?

Oh and by the way for u people who actually wanna be a part of this forum...i jsut got the header in today for slvrblt so if any of you who didnt turn on me today, i will be posting pics tommorow...thanks!

1. this isnt your forum.
2. i can post wherever i want.
3. giving people attitude who are skeptical(sp) wont convince them to buy off of you, you have to make them feel secure.
4. we all have reason to be affraid of "your product", simply because people have tried this before and they have failed
5. 400 dollars for something that give MINIMAL hp gains...it hardly seems worth it.
6. again i can post wherever i want.


love me, or hate me....im not going anywhere.....now shuddap newb

im not saying that im not in, im silly like that. i will still purchase if the price drops... im willing to try anything once. ill give ya the benefit of the doubt..as for your comments to fastgt........

back off him... hes just doing what this web site is up to do... help people with problems and stuff. we all give eahother advice on here, dont we... dont hate him cause he makes sense...

by the way, why is there no info on your ride in your profile?

u guys r halariuos! u care waaay to much! how much time do u guys have on your hands!
EVERYONE be afraid of my product...i dont care...i already sold it to one person and its already in the mail to him...so be scared! even though there is no point to!
oh and fast gt...its 400 dollars for something that u wouldnt be able to locate where to buy...ur so jealous its funny...give up buddy! good luck with your ct26..hope it ends up lookin as good as ur face!

THANKS sapperk i appreciate ur post, i just dont understand why people care so much to try to shut me down?

by the way im not trying to shut you down....but we have all had our fair share of bad sellers, its not fair that we get screwed again. its nothing personal against you but its the way youre carrying yourself is what worries us

alright man srry....I can understand, i want you all to know that i am not out to rip u guys off at all! I am just simply selling a product that is very hard for anyone to get there hands on! Srry bout that whole outburst by me it just seemed like all of a sudden everyone turned on me. Alright guys....lets move on from here...by the way ill do my best to get those pics up by tommorow

Good boy,, pics please!!!

Is this by any chance the header now produced for 5th gen. GT and GTS by Hotshot?

I was just on their site the other day and saw that its on their list of new releases and I think its conception had something to do with the Celica.net crowd asking them for it, if I remember correctly.

5SFE 2.2L Celica header, at bottom of page.

If thats the one, this group buy is a good deal...since individually its around $522.

EDIT-- Just saw that you specified that it was the Genie header....but its always an option to look at. >>

hey guys, that picture of the genie header is of my car. There is no fitment problem at all with the genie header. it was actually made to fit the camry with the 5sfe engine but it fits the celica just fine. there is no need for any fabrication.

The only issue was that the oil dipstick was in the way so all i had to do was bend it a little so i could still access it and you will need to fit in a flex pipe.

Do a little reseach, there is a pic of a dyno print out of my celi before and afteer a an safc tune. i had an intake, the genie header and exhaust system. It won't give you what gains are to be had with just the header but might give you some idea but then again, all dynos are different.

Genie is an australian brand and well known here. They make good quality stuff and have been around for a long time. They are mandrel bent 4-2-1 and the sound is pretty damn impressive... but saying that after the install, my butt dyno couldn't tell much of a difference. I asked my exhaust guy about it before I bought it and he told me that it won't do too much... you won't be able to feel it. I bought it anyway because at the time i had some spare cash. I can't explain the blue colour of the header. When I first saw it uninstalled it wasn't blue.. by memory it was silver but when i drove around for a few days it turned blue! ( I have no idea how)

Lets face it. there is hardly any power to be extracted out of an economical 5sfe engine, no matter what mods you do to it. Hence I have since sold my celica and purchased a type R.

I'll try and frequent this thread to see if anyone else wants any information but nowdays im hardly on this board because i have sold my celica. (trying to learn more about the dc5).

$400 USD sounds like a fair bit for some bent pipes. I know I didn't pay that much but then again you have to consider the cost of importing and then the dealer putting some extra on top etc.

wow thanks guys for those posts! I also agree that 450 is quite expensive for some bent pipes, but it the whole supply and demand issue...noone makes the headers so there gonna sell um for waaayy to much! If you guys can get 3 to 4 people together i can have the price brought down to about 399 for each header...lemme know guys and also i am having a great deal of trouble trying to post pics....how do i do it?

hey with the header on will it pass smog?

i just recently looked at my exaust manifold stock. and it doesnt look like we really need aftermarket headers. our stock pipes are pretty straight forward. do u think we would really get a proformance increase from these? Also i need some advice, i am getting the RIPP Mods supercharger system, do u think i would then need after market headers?

that guy seems like he's a reincarnation of andason on a bad bad day. (pimped6gen)

Well i know ive been in and out mostly because the GB, lets face it, hasnt really been a group buy. This is probably not due to price but more for the raw fact that power gain will be minimal.

Im thinking guna think about teh header next year and focus on getting a nice 1911/2011 .45 cal airsoft side arm.

my main reason for getting the header is because i am going to put the RIPP Mods supercharger on my celica and want a freer flowing exhaust to make the most out of the supercharger and other engine mods that i plan to do.

I got the same plan, but do u think the header will really imrpove that much, the factory manifold is pretty free flowing anyway?

the factory manifold may be free flowing but with the cat mounted to the manifold there is resistance to exhaust flow less than a foot from the engine. The header is also lighter than the cast iron stock manifold found on celics. with running a supercharger more air is going into the motor so more air is coming out of the motor, so the header will help more with the supercharger that with out one. This is my opinion if it is wrong i don't mind if you correct me.

well ive heared the same thing, from RippMods, im just curious

I say that you guys who arent even interested cut pimped6thgen some slack....

If you arent interested, leave this topic. At least he's considerate enough to share his ability to purchase them with our community and not say "the hell with the rest of you". So please, a little respect. For those interested, this is not a bad deal at all, and I dont see how it could be.

That said, I may be interested in this header so ill let you know if i can swing it. Thanks for hooking us up. >>

-Silver94CelicaOwner+Nov 11, 2004 - 8:50 PM

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that post! Thanks for the help bro, if u buy that ill make it two...we need one more for 3...if we do get 3 peeps i can cut ya a deal....lemme know guys!
Again...thanks for the post Silver94CelicaOwner!

No problem pimped. Just let me know if anybody else displays interest in these, cuz i'd really like to get a header for when i do my engine rebuild.

So then somebody else get in on this...wont be easy to get these if you dont act now!

just a though for you guys worried about the $ issue on these headers, Which I personally think is way to high but not ripping on this GB - thats just IMO... newayz.. you can buy dyno tested headders off ebay all day long for 150 or less.. a machine shop would charge you 30-40 tops to make a flange to mount the header to the motor and prolly another 20-30 to rebend/weld pipes into place... Just an option for ya guys to look at if your worried about price vs performance.

Otherwise if you just want something prebuilt jump on this, but I would wait for the person that order one already to post.

Im still looking forward to the guy that oredered these to post too, but like i said im in on it, just let me know when we get the others in too.
