The factory cast iron pieces are notorious for heat-soaking, cracking over time, and severely restricting airflow above 5,000 RPM. This restriction robs you of top-end power and dulls the throttle response these cars are famous for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 4-1 Tri-Y design is the definitive fix for 1.6L DOHC owners wanting to wake up their powertrain. By utilizing computerized mandrel bends and T-304 stainless steel, this setup eliminates the exhaust turbulence found in the OEM casting. Whether you are running the original 16-valve or have swapped to a 20-valve silver or black top, this header provides the necessary clearance and flow to maximize output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You Need This Upgrade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimized Exhaust Scavenging:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Tri-Y racing design smooths exhaust gas pulses, resulting in quicker revs and a broader torque curve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProven Power Gains:\u003c\/strong\u003e Experience a noticeable bump of 10 to 15 horsepower, transforming how the car pulls out of corners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulletproof Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e TIG-welded T-304 stainless steel and CNC-machined flanges prevent warping, cracking, and exhaust leaks under heavy track abuse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Sensor Fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes two O2 sensor bungs (Standard and Toyota style) for seamless integration with your engine management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow-Matched Piping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steps smoothly from 1-7\/8\" OD inlets to a 2-1\/2\" OD main pipe, keeping exhaust gas velocity high.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1985-1987 Toyota Corolla\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eEngine Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e4AGE (16-Valve \u0026amp; 20-Valve)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eDirect Bolt-On \/ 2-3 Hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eT-304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a direct bolt-on installation to the engine block, shipping complete with the necessary metal gaskets and hardware.
