WTB:Header & some questions

NewForm · 10-26-2006, 10:35 PM

well whats wanted to buy is a workable header for as cheap as possible, cause it seems my cat on my stock header has gone to shit, so a respectable header from a respectable company would be nice, do our cars usually pass emmisions without that cat?

Mister2.2 · 10-26-2006, 10:39 PM

That would depend on your local laws, I have no clue what they are in HI.

NIXmx · 10-27-2006, 04:08 AM

I bought the OBX header on eBay for $210 shipped. It had everything you needed, and I'm very happy with it. I bought mine for the same reason, would've done it sooner though.

NewForm · 10-27-2006, 12:32 PM

alright good stuff, what brand was it?

NIXmx · 10-29-2006, 04:26 AM

OBX. Here are some pictures:

It bypasses the cat so you probably won't pass a visual inspection nor the hydrocarbon (HC) inspection.

The intake is an Injen intake made for a 97-01 camry 4cyl (5S-FE). i just flipped it over so it would clear the radiator hoses. The filter i have is made by ZEX Nitrous. The internals are the same of the A'PESi filter but has a built in jet for N2O. I would suggest buying that from ZEX, it's only $50 shipped and they have 3 different sizes.

I'm happy with the sound on the factory muffler. I straight piped it for a while to see what it sounded like. The low RPm sounded horible but when you rip it after 3500 it ROARS! I wish people posted pictures when I ask questions like that, it helps. Good luck.

I have posted numbers on my header from ssauto and have had no problems. 9.6 hp and 4.3 foot lbs of torque. $125 on e-bay. Tell them Patrick Waddell sent you to them if you order one.

Mister2.2 · 10-30-2006, 10:53 PM

You really need to get a dyno on that new SSAUTO 4-2-1!!!

TRD-CEO · 11-01-2006, 02:27 AM

I know I know...so much going on. You got your fixed yet?

Mister2.2 · 11-01-2006, 03:41 AM

No, doubt it will be any time soon either. Winter is coming in quickly so there's no real point in putting it on the road anyhow.

nd4mr2spd · 07-25-2008, 12:49 AM

hey quick question guys - when you had your stock exhaust / cat housing - did your car always sound kind of like it had an exhaust leak from the engine compartment?? Mine does and I found the cat has been hollowed out but no leaks? Just curious.

nd4mr2spd · 07-25-2008, 01:04 AM

When installing a header - doesn't the secondary o2 sensor trigger a code / check engine light?? How is everyone getting around this??

NIXmx · 07-25-2008, 03:38 AM

Wow, bringing this thread up from the dead! I never had a leak, nor did I have any codes.

TomsMR2 · 07-25-2008, 04:33 AM

most cars dont have the second o2 sensor.. its a california thing.

simplesauce · 07-29-2008, 08:37 PM

I am in almost the same situation. My stock header is cracked and I need a replacement. I was looking at the ssac one. 91-95 MR2 Headers 18-20 HP Super 5SFE 4-1 Design It is extremely cheap.

Gairloch · 07-29-2008, 08:43 PM

EMSPowered also has some exhaust options for both turbo and NA IIRC.
