After days of searching for a new exhaust system for my GT4 I have been told by the main dealers they have stopped producing the following systems. Apexi N1, 5Zigen, HKS hi power. The reason = The celica is on the way out! Does anyone know of a dealer who may have some left. It seems that my only choices are Blitz or C-One. It has to be full stainless with 2.5" pipe. The HKS would be my preference for looks and sound by don't know where else to go!

welcome to my world ! haha
basically, just buy a muffler of your choice and find a custom exhaust shop to do the piping for you. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I offered up a hks HI POWER Universal muffler. The problem is the box is too long and the inlet pipe in centred. As standard the inlet pipe is offset to the top left of the muffler. The exhaust guys said they would have too much of a job on their hands to get it to fit rightand the gases wouldn't flow well because of the angle. I didn't want a full custom system as the palces dont make a tip section on par with that of hks

here is your solution....go UNDER your back axel if you can on a gt instead of over it this way it doesn't matter where your inlet is

Which is why most custom places won't touch a ST205. It's just too much hard work. Who have you been talking to regarding exhausts. AFAIK, HKS, Mongoose, Blitz are all still making aftermarket exhausts for the car.... -------------------- JDM ST205
Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |

Hks only make the silent muffler now, Mongoose isnt to my liking, I have a price on the blitz and I haven't heard of AFAIK. No way is there room to go under the the axel and if there was the roads around here would have it ripped off after a few miles
