Are they easy enough to fit? I am unable to do it myself but dont want to have to fork out loads for labour if a garage fits it.

after looking at the ceramic one tho it does say that it is made from T-304 stainless steel so id double check what its actually made of. Those crazy americans always playing with the english language! But as i say even if it is stainless i had a very similar one on the golf for 9 months before i sold her and had no probs to report. Also after a couple of months or some long drives it turns that oil slick colour and looks wicked under the bonet (if visible obv). I did read on a tuning site that the stock system is mega restrictive on the celicas so think ill look into a similar thing.

i bought a manifold from the uk dealer you linked. It was for my mk2 golf gti and was even cheaper than that as it was an auction. The stainless is very good and the welds are exceptional however i couldnt find a single garage who would fit it. In the end i paid a mechanic £200 for it as it took him 2 days! Shouldnt be a problem on celicas tho as they are newer and i assume everything was rusty under the golf making his work hell! All in all i would definitely recommend the uk dealer however i am told stainess has a lower heat tolerance and the manifold obv gets real hot and there is a risk of the thing cracking. Not sure as to the accuracy of this tho!
