You will need to modify the flange as the bolts on the VVT-I are different. I believe it will come pretty close to our downpipe though. I've heard of people using them.

They will bolt to the head but not to the piping. You'll also need to run IS300 or universal O2 sensors since the ones on the 1992 are the 2 bolt types.

the is300 has a different header design then the sc300. the sc300 header is a 6-2-1 design and the header merger into a single pipe right as it starts to go under the car.

the is300 header will bolt up but it is a 6-2-1 but the it stays 2 separate pipes all the way under the car. the pipes merge into 1 when it is half way down the car.

if you want to see what im talking about do a Google or eBay search on the sc300 and is300 header. you will see the difference.

it can be done you just need to have a custom exhaust made to go merge the 2 header pipes into one and connect under the car to your existing exhaust.

all non turbo 2jzge headers, vvti or not, bolt up to the head.

the vvti sc300 header os nicer. it is a stainless primary design instead of a crappy cast old style garbage. wow i just sounded like a 6 year old describing this stuff. need sleep. im out.
