2008 Headers different and what else??
Is the header different on the 2008 from the 2005-2006? I know the intake is but what else performance wise?
Also I notice that the 2008 seems to have better traction then the 2005. When my 05 was new I was able to spin the tires in 3rd and 2nd. I can barely spin them in 1st with the 08, anyone else notice a difference?

The intake and header are the same, they changed the MAF. Also, the 07-08 have slighty higher compression than the 05-06, which is why they sound raspier than the older ones.
05-06 was 9.6:1
07-08 is 9.8:1

the header is deff different, as is the intake manifold. the MAF was changed , the cams have been revised to be slightly more aggressive and the compression was bumped up to 9.8:1 ... they also changed the tires but they still suck
believe it or not the 07-08's are slightly faster then the 05-06's ... by a very small amount

What exactly is different with the header (flange?)? I seem to see headers are for sale for 05 to 08. Do these company's not not there's a difference?

I bought the strup header that is listed as a direct bolt on for 05-08, I have an 07 and it fit without a problem. they all will fit all years thus far. The only reason any aftermarket header for the scion tc that dosnt fit is probly due to poor craftmenship. Then again i havnt used all the headers out there for the tc so i cant really prove that.

I though all the aftermarket would fit but someone told me different. This is good to know. Thanks guys!
