hi I am trying to source some 5SFE extractors (FWD) for a friend, does a 3Sge have a different bolt pattern? any off the shelf option?

Sam, they are the same pattern so gen 1 and 2 3s items will fit. However, depending on what vehicle the 5s is in they might foul on the crossmember as they are shaped slightly different, well at least the ones i have come across are.
Factory gen2 3sge headers will fit and may be a slight upgrade over the 5s ones if you want on the cheap. AS for off-the shelf, hurricane, pacemaker, genie etc all make them. About $450 mark from memory
Check Ozcelica maybe?

its for an st184 celica, I think any manifold would be a decent upgrade over the nasty 5S one with the integral cat.

So gen 2 is the best bet? I should just make some really but yeah this guy might be on the cheap

the gen2 stockies have a twin integrated muffler sorta thing in them as well, but they are a 4-2-1 design out of the box and have nice lengths etc. Can probs get for $50 as thats what i sold my 2 sets for.

Might want to change your topic to 5SFE extractors

Not too many people are going to click on 5AFE.

this is what the gen2 headers look like

just had a uick look at ebay and ozelica - nothing there

Hiro: thats what the topic is?

StuC: that looks the part, better than having a catalytic converter right near the exhaust ports. So any clearence issues with a St184 that you know of? Also thanks a lot for your help

Not that I condone tampering with the emissions related components of the vehicle. But replacing that integral cat with a more free flowing bit of pipe (or just emptying it out) will make the car run a whole lot better.
Then you are free to add a suitable high flow cat somewhere else in the system, this can also be sourced from another vehicle on the cheap.

I am tottaly with you and its my exact plan, I have something in my shed but I may go for one of a Gen3 commodor as they are cheap enough and flow enough for them.
