says in your sign you got open ended headers. yet you seem to know nothing about it >.>

it's just like any other part of any car, you cant buy shit from a chevy truck and expect it to fit your corolla, if it's for your car it'll say it

I know a stock auto TL-S puts down about 198-200whp...does that mean that the 6-speed manual has around 220'ish?

get whatever headers you can afford my friend. they're all pretty much the same and serve the same purpose.

keep in mind however, you get what you pay for. i was skeptical at first, but after i got my comptechs, it was very noticable gains.
