my 75 toyota

Hey people wanting to do some exhaust upgrades to my 1988 22re. Wanting some input on header to get. What size pipes am thinking the flow master muffler. And will removing the cat be a gain or lose to power. As do that this engine is now in my 75 Celica and do not have smog inspections here. I was thinking 2 an 1/2 pipe but was told 2 inch would be better which is bigger than my stock one now. What cha think any takers. And yes i am on a budget so can not go to hog wild just want a little more out of her. Thanks Jeff Mc

As far as headers go, I have the LC Engineering (although it's not installed) and let me say WOW the quality is fantastic!

I have heard other people say Doug Thorley is good although I have no experience with that brand aside from helping a friend install one on a Nissan Frontier.

As far as the rest goes, I think 2.25" piping is the recommended diameter.

yea i think every one is doing 2.25 that what i have but i have the 3.slow

2.25 but mines 2.5 and a flowmaster will be cool wat model? and if u dont have to have a cat cut it off. and ya alot of ppl have the doug thorley but there way to spendy for me for a header i have a headmen competition series scored off craigslist for cheap

Yeah im running about the same.
2.5 with no cat and a flowmaster and a headman header. a little loud but sounds pretty beefy.

I have a Northwest offroad header, hi flow cat, and a flowmaster 40 thats getting installed next week. Northwest offroad header looks built well. I dont really like the knuckle/slip flange style but it should work.

i have a 2.25" system, magnaflow high flow cat and magnaflow muffler. i love it, under 3k rpm under load is real deep and sounds awesome!

I have both setups on my trucks LCE and Doug Thorley headers with 2 1/4 pipes with black flowmaster super 44 and using a tailpipe.The LCE is a 4 to 1 design and has been in my truck for over 8 years and has outlasted my borla that blewout.Doug Thorley is a tri-y design and great on the low end torque.
They both are great performing exhaust system for a daily driver and also was custom bent by using the factory hookups but less restrictive bends.
Both headers are easy to install with bolt on flanges.

I had a Jardine 2 1/2 with high flow cat on my 98 taco sounded awesome but lost some low end and got more top end. no headers though.

Any opinions on this? Is a high-flow cat a must?

I've got the LCE header, cat, flowmaster 40, tail pipe exits to the driver's side behind the rear axle. 2.25" pipe throughout. Quite a big improvement over stock.

I will never recommend that someone run without a catalytic converter even if you don't have emissions testing. I'm no green-y eco nut but there's no reason to go around polluting for no damn reason. A good cat that isn't clogged won't hurt your performance.

Agreed... Spend a couple of bucks and get a high flow cat.,..

wmayota

Flowmaster 40 series w/ dual outlets
No cat and a header the p/o scored for $20 off some kid on craigslist. The little 22re sounds like she has four extra cylinders!!

downey header, 2.5 inch exh, straight thu [downey] muffler. sounds great not too loud. improved low end and top end and did i say it sounds good.
