IM JUST LEARNING ABOUT ENGINES AND JUST CURIOUS HOW MANY HEADERS ARE ON THE S2006 SCION TC? I AM LOOKING TO REPLACE THE STOCK ONES WITH PERFORMANCE HEADERS.

please dont scream!

There's one exhaust manifold on the tC. So you only need one header as a performance replacement.

As far as learning about cars goes, you won't become an expert overnight. I suggest lots of internet reading, car magazines (I suggest Sport Compact Car, Siphon, and Project Car Magazine to start.), and hang out with gearhead friends. You will pick it up with time.

One last thing, please don't type in all caps, its considered yelling on the internet.

Hope that helps!

THE TC IS AN INLINE 4, SO IT ONLY HAS 1 HEADER. PLEASE SEARCH, AND OBEY THE SCIONLIFE RULES.

TALKING IN ALL CAPS IS FUN but dont do it

I have seen some headers on ebay for around $50. Would those be ok to put on my car?

first of all it's header. not hearderS. no s.

second. You get what you pay for. 50 bucks for a header is probably not a good idea.

NO. And there is only one header.

I wouldn't encourage it. There are a few good brands for headers. The best choices imo would be between Monster Motorworks, DC Sports, Alphawerks, or Megan Racing. They are all comparable as far as performance is concerned (minus MMW since it is a header/s-pipe combo) so it's basically down to how much money you want to spend, or if you want ceramic instead of stainless steel.

trucky941

Well what would be the difference between the ceramic or stainless steel?

Looks mainly. The ceramic coating on the DC Sports header is light silver, whereas stainless would look like chrome, but it usually turns to a dark bronze color unless you powder coat it or something.

ceramic is known to cause less heat

Just becareful with the headers as you will get a CEL if you dont do the fix that is talked about on SL all the time, just thought i'd mention it since you said you are new to learning about cars.
