i was lookin on ebay like i tend to do and i was wondering if this

OBX COROLLA 4AGE 88-92 FWD STAINLESS STEEL HEADER AE92:eBay Motors (item 370270272808 end time Nov-03-09 18:21:05 PST)

would fit onto the mr2 i know it says fwd corolla but the engine is the same layout, just curious.

yes it will fit. o2 and egr might not be in the right spots tho, and the downpipe will need to be modified to meet up with your cat, something any muffler shop can do.

Im running a pacesetter 4-1 header for a fwd corolla just fine. Tho I dont have egr (no smog yay!) and it cost me $50 to have the downpipe modified and I needed to extend my o2 sensor a little.

The advantage is with my o2 sensor at the start of the downpipe it gets a more even reading between all the cylinde!rs, rather than just relying on 1 cylinder for the cars AFRs. I also lost a nice chunk of weight.

1 possible issue is oil filter clearance, I havent seen that header but if your running the stock oil cooler the filter may interfere with the header. I know its not an issue on my pacesetter, but I did hear of another mr2 owner having this issue with an rs*r header.
