Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 8:40 amOk, I have taken pictures of my ebay headers on my 99 Solara. My problem is I don't know how to add them to this post. Imagestation won't let me start a new album and Shutterfly doesn't have a way to post the pictures either.
I know this shouldn't be posted here but I wanted to let those interested in pictures to know.
Anyone who can help please pm me.

Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 12:30 pmWell I was able to upload the pictures and thanks for your help. So hopefully here are my 99 Solara ebay headers installed.[img][img]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg39/campfire9/headers005.jpg[/img]

Header itself is great but I would like to see the Tq curve of those on a stock NA. SC people do not have to worry but I would like to see dyno sheet of it on an NA. IMO for what it is, I recommend it for NA people only with that Y pipe they give you. The restriction should be enough to retain a comfortable Tq curve... but over time I can tell it will crack just like anything else now days.
Welding itself looks ok EXCEPT where all 3 routed pipe meets. As you can see in some of the pictures, Looks poor. Same spot my friends cracked on and it was a 4 banger and got from ebay. I have seen better weldings then that.
The stock header is NOT bad at all. Last time I heard of my old car, it was taking on a good A/F and good powerband at 280-290whp range.
So just because its an aftermarket part, Does not mean its better then stock.

You wont be disapointed I bet. I rather be in your shoes. Back then before all of these stuff came out, I had to forge my OWN money for my OWN R&D. You guys have it easy with 200 bucks and maybe 300 more for a custom Y pipe... I paid 500 for mine on stock headers, and blew a good 10 grand on MY solara. One reason why I dont have much friends, Im always working to pay off my R&D BILLS haha.

And if so, was it worth what you spent?
Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 4:11 pmEverything in the system remained the same except my muffler guy had to change the bung for a 02 sensor on the back bank. Noting else was moved. The change I feel is that it runs better and smoother. Haven't gunned it to see if I lose anything on the top end because about the highest rpm I have seen is 4500. Maybe one of these days when I'm around 75 mph I will step down on it and see what happens. (Damn old drivers).
Anyway I like them very much so far and they are worth what I have spent on them.
