Pikey009 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Definatly straight mate. Still absolutely love this car :/These and Celicas don't respond well to being de catted. They get huge boost creep in 3rd. I spent nearly 2k on a full system and had to have a 2.5" restrictor plate fabricated to fit between the downpipe and front pipe. Even when I was running the hybrid turbo I still couldn't remove it (this was all mapped on a motec m4 pro). The only time I could remove it was when the car was fully forged and running a big Garrett. Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 I haven't really thought about de cat for this car, I'm just happy to have a nice cat back fitted:-). Yeah I think your right lads straight will be more suited. I'm not going to have it over loud either, just be happy for it to kick in on boost.I drove up to my local Toyota dealership to order a cat to down pipe gasket and the car got lots of attention, even top boss came out to see it then saying this is a bit of a rare bird lol.

mart1 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Exhaust will be made up for me on Friday :-), decided to go to someone local to me to make the custom exhaust plus I've had exhausts made from him 3 times in the past does a good job.Have been recommended to go 2.5 straight through, no need to go 3 unless I'm wanting to push out over 340 bhp, with 2.5 I will get plenty of torque. I have bought 2 mufflers not decided on which one to use, on the left will fit better and will go straight not as long.On the right will have to fit at an angle to fit, have had this style on my old glanza 3.5 tip looks cool however I'm liking the look of the muffler on the left it's different 65mm tip, my Mrs says it looks rude haha.Here is a couple of pics outside ferodo 3 miles up the road from me.

Pikey009 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 One on the right. The car looks amazing mate Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 The one on the left looks like this.Haha, it does look a bit ugly but when on my car I think it will look cool plus you wouldn't see much of the tip when it's on, I once had a Peugeot 205 gti they had a muffler like this.I like the 3.5 tip but the probs with that it would have to fit at an angle as it's 490mm, I don't think it will look good like that, and when I see estate cars with a big back box or a van I think haha.

mart1 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 One on the right. The car looks amazing matecheers:-) .The right one was the one I bought first then realised its not going to fit straight and will need to chop a bit off the bumper underneath to bring it out a bit so you can see the tip although you wouldn't see the chop unless you stuck your head under.

mart1 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 https://youtu.be/-1-tNbbaltgThis is what the exhaust on the left sounds like on a Honda EP3 Not got a clue about the other one if it's going to sound nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 You could get the one on the left slash cut- just not a fan of it how it is but obv its up to you Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Been having sleepless nights lol over this.I had a feeling people would say the 3.5 tip on the right, it's just that I think to many have this style muffler, I like to be a little different this is why I have this car as it's different from other cars, just don't want to spoil it though.It's probably best to just take them both on the day then I can get I better idea on what will fit best and look good when the exhaust is off, i think the blue tip will look good,if it's not sticking out much.

Pikey009 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I get you want to be different mate I just don't think it suits the car but it's only my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 A subtle 3" rolled tip on an oval box would suit this car imo.Cant you get the exhaust makers to knock up something? Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 We get that you want to be a bit different mate, I think what people are trying to say is that blue tipped one is fucking awful and I dont even know why its even a thing!! Its the worst exhaust tip Ive ever seen I'd rather have a tacky star shaped thing than that. You've got a class car don't ruin it by putting that horrific thing on it. Theres a difference between something being out of the ordinary and something just being plain ugly. Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 I reckon the one on the right will not be as loud either with it being longer which is what I want. Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Blue tip one has got a pin hole in one of the welds so that's that then it's going back to the shop. Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Well got my new cat back exhaust system fitted, and I lasted for two days with it being far to loud, it had to much of a deep base sound, it was turning heads and I could see people pulling faces lol was the worst sounding exhaust I have had, so I chopped up my old exhaust and re bucked it in to flange and fit my old back box.The original back box also has a cut out valve just on one tip on the right so that's all back on working, sounds lovely now.Here is a PIC of the new back box that had to go and how it looks now, just need to paint up around the weld around the flange.URL] Edited June 8, 2016 by mart1 Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Looks decent although I do like a nice single can. Does it sound better? Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 It sounds a tad louder with the two middle mufflers removed, I like a single can too but that one I had fitted was just to loud, not enough meat around the bone, it was 2.5 inlet 3.5 tip 5in wide can, 7 inch can would be more suitable I think, might get another back box made up to flange up then can have a choice of the 2.
