I'm searching for an exhaust to install on my st205....i'm searching around the net for about 3 days but i've not decided yet what choose.
I wrote some mail to hks, blitz and others, but they ask me 900+ $ for a specific rear silencer....sincerely I would like to spend a bit less! If I buy an universal silencer (for example hks) could it be valid anyway? Of course I'd like to have a complete specific exhaust but if just the silencer is 900$ I don't want to think how much I should spend for a complete exh! Can you give me some help? brands, comments, advices....anything! thanx |

I have the HKS Super Silent its a cat-back exhaust and for me its the best for the GT-4:) Great sound at high RPMs and nice and sweet sound on low RPMs.I agree that its expensive.
Also a universal muffler will fit but you should custom the cat-back and its not so easy for the GT-4 cuz you have to remove your old one to copy the dimensions right. |

Carson, do a search and stop hijacking the thread.
Longo, if you dont want to spend so much money, just do custom exhaust piping with a universal exhaust- make sure your piping is mandrall bent and not crushed! Should be cheaper than a name brand- and pretty much just as good. |

Just to point out... you only need mandrel bends for large angled bends.. like going over axles... All exhaust shops will crush bend for the smaller bends.

FOR MAGIC: how much do you spent totally for the exhaust? i've ask a dealer of hks and he tolds me that the Silent Hipower cost 950euro (dollars) just for the cat back...can you tell me if with this part is included also a specific connection to the OEM system or not?
..have you got some photos? FOR SHID: I already have a hand-made cat back, and i've posted a pair of photos (hope the link is good), but as you can see now is not the best of beauty! it sounds good, but I want something better. FOR CARSON: i got the 3SGTE I'm surprised of the prices for specific exhaust cause for the actual catback I paid about 160euro!

yes, i mean the muffler plus the exh section that goes from the muffler to the cat section.
...I hope of been clear I'm trying to not modify again this original section cause i think it's not a great thing to cut it again! |

I try to go around for three days with no kat and no muffler, the sound is too good, i love it, but it's very loud and even if I like the police do not like this....and there is no way to explain them why the car is so loud and then leave them without problems....I think that the excuse "oh! the muffler is broken? really? I was thinking this sound was normal!!" could not be useful...

I'm not exactly sure why people always insist on getting a cat back from big name brands like HKS, Greddy, Apexi, Tanabe, ect.......... They cost a lot of money. For a lot cheaper, you can buy a universal muffler from those same companies. Then you take it to a GOOD shop to do the rest of the pipping.
And if you're worried about it making to much noise, silencer is the best you can do. But one things I hate is seeing someone get out of their car, put on the silencer, get out the car, take off the silencer, ect..... This goes on forever. I dont see the point in waisting arround $80.00 on a silencer and having to get out of the car all the time to put in on or take it off. I personaly would hate doing that, so I installed a Apexi ECV ( Exhaust Control Valve). This thing is amazing. It's basicly like having a silencer installed 24/7, but being able to controll it manually from the inside of your car. And it's only arround $150.00 This is a picture of the one I have installed. 80mm  The valve looks like this on the inside.  You basicly control the valve by closing it or openning it as much as you want. You can buy it here. Taka Kaira Good luck everyone. |

excuse me, but who talk about in/out of the car for put on/take off silencer? for sure english is not my mother language but i never read this thing in this thread...about the universal muffler, i already think about mount that (infact i wrote it in my first post), and exactly for search other brands over the big names i came here! personally i don't like your solution, if i like the sound of the muffler i will never be (morally) able to "close" it with a system like that... |

Longo did you decide about exhaust???
They dont do custom made mufflers at Italy??? You should choose a nice looking one and go custom for the cat-back... Its true that its expsensive to go cat-back with brands  but the installation and the quality it is worth it.

no, there in italy there is nothing good for celica...well, for real there is something, but are brands that i don't trust so much.
i have not decided yet, but at that point i think that an universal cat back and a good adaption work is the better compromise. i found the kakimoto system, as the Turbotone's one, it is composed by muffler plus complete pipe with no exhaust, all stainless, right for st205. now i have to contact them and have some infos....and prices! that's the last shot i have at the moment. what do you think, an universal hks should be good...? |

Hmmm....You should go for a brand muffler and custom cat-back:)
What do you think? I`v checked the Hyper Rev magazine for you and i found the follow Brands making exhausts for ST205,have a look of their names and check them on the internet. C-one Motorsport 5Zigen Dynamite Border Fireball 5Zigen Border III 5Zigen Miracle Fireball 5Zigen Super Border Cannon Super Medalion Racing and Hyper Signal Zero-1000 RS-R EXMAG GT II FUJITSUBO MATERAS HKS TRD BLITZ APEXi Hybrid Megaphone Muffler APEXi N1 Muffler APEXi GT spec.Muffler Trust MX Muffler SARD AROUSE MIG R Kakimoto R Jspeed |
