it's cheap, power gains are pretty good according to my butt dyno and best of all, it's OEM

2000 camry 5sfe exhaust manifold was installed into my 92 GT coupe today.... here's my cost breakdown:

1. camry exhaust manifold - $50 from junkyard
2. OEM exhaust manifold gasket - $25
3. oxygen sensor - $30
4. labor to install and make downpipe - $50
5. Total - $155
6. Making the shop who said it didn't fit believe it at the end - priceless

1. Out with the old and the heavy

2. old skool technology

3. and in with the new

4.

5. Yes, it is from the camry.... u can see it written on the runner

i'll wipe tht off later

6. damn it sits high!!!

well, after the install, i was driving back and i saw A LOT of smoke coming from my engine bay... everyone at the traffic light thought i was gonna blow up or something

i pulled over quickly, popped the hood and there i saw it:...

the freakin header sits so high tht it was touching the heat insulator... well, i ripped it off and junked it... u can say it's a form of weight reduction :D

here's how my hood looks now... she looks naked lol

comments pls!
