Official "custom" exhaust thread, for all engines Options

[808celica]

yup, now its just straight pipe

[cyprus_gt]

My JDM celica wtih 3SGE SSII engine have final exhaust setup:

Wraped HKS manifold with HKS downpipe (second hand from Japan):




Magnaflow Heavy metal high flow catalyctic series 9900:




Vibrant utra quiet resonator:




and at the end Apexi WS2 muffler:




All pipes are on 2,25" (only the muffler is on 2,37")
Tomorow will test the car and will let you know for the result!

cheers


p.s.
my last setup was:
the same HKS manifold and downpipe + diff. model (small one) high flow Magnaflow catalyctic + no name resonator (local one) + magnaflow street Muffler (all at 2,25")!
minuses : i thing becouse of the catalyctic and the muffler the noise is to loud and the low to middle torque has gone!
pluses: the car goes crazy after 4600 RPM :-) good sound when you drive slowly (sound like V6)
so that why i make new configuration - to reduce the voice from the exhaust ang get back some of the middle torque with the new toys will see tomorrow

^ok... just make e 100 miles test and i can say is only ...WOW.... now the car have very nice little deep tone and i can drive it on the highway without make so much noise!the performance is still excellent - didn't notice any change!
I am more than happy!A big Thanks to "trdprooven" to give me ideia what i need
The car now have more noise from the stock one but you can enjoy it driving slow or fast!!!Only some to deep sound it's show up after 150 km/h on the highway on full throttle but its coming from the manifold and the catalyctic wich is normal - the flow is high...
thats from me

CHEERS

Dimitar

p.s.
also look niceeee

I have one video but i make it with my cell phone so the sound is not so REAL ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz_6OZm3Yx8

the real sound have more deep tone...when i get some pro camera will make clip again

cheers

[BonzaiCelica]

hey man wow im pretty suprised it sound good even without the good video camera. The exhaust is a good looking one as well. Are you using over the axle mandrel bent piping?? Stainless steel or steel material??

[smoog83]

i like it too i think i like apexi sound tone more than hks

[trdproven]

Damn cyprus, that sounds mean as hell, great job, glad you liked the setup. and the parts look real nice. and you're right the sound is usually better in person. I've compared many combinations of different engines, piping, muffler, resonator, so I know what sounds good. Other people just like to get whatever and put it on. In fact, someone else prolly would have gotten the bottle style resonator instead of the ultraquiet one.

But Bonzai to answer your comment about me needing an engine swap been thinking about it for a very long time or doing a turbo on my 5s, but right now I am working on my 7th gen Celica, i just threw in 6 grand into it so far cash, and I am working on my offroad tacoma. I have too many hobbies, can't afford everything. I am buying a house very soon and just cashed out my wedding earlier this year. I plan to get me a Supra next year if all goes well and thats where my performance efforts will be placed or a similar toyota with rwd potential. I've had 3 generations of celicas and I used to have 2 fliplight supras but since I really wanted the last gen Supra since I was a kid, i am trying to save money for it for next year. I bet everyone here has wondered why I never did a swap. because I decided to get a RWD, which has always been my ultimate goal. I'm also going to get a IS250 or 350 early next year as well. I have money already put aside for that, i need a 4 door car badly.

[smoog83]

show us the sound of it 808 plzzz

[mkernz22]

That sounds sooooo nice cyprus_gt!! I love it and I want mine to sound like that haha
I'm pretty much new to the whole exhaust area, but I recently picked up and ebay header for the 5s and I have a brand new flex pipe with a cat-delete already on it. Now my question is what would be the best setup to make it purr at idle, but roar at high rpm's like cyprus_gt's? I have almost brand new flanges in the rear where the stock piping goes over axle, but at the same time I just want to get new piping altogether in the rear. I know if I get a can, it will be loud no matter what because it doesn't muffle the noise like a muffler does, but if I go under axle, could I still get a muffler that sits even and not crooked? If someone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it!

[BonzaiCelica]

yo cyprus_gt is that exhaust mandrel bent and is your exhaust piping stainless steel?? good sound so far. Make some videos of you cruising down the street and then you at the top of 3rd gear flying by! please

[cyprus_gt]

yup, now its just straight pipe

Should be very loud?!
What about the performance? becouse if you lose your back pressure from the catback you lose all of the low and middle torque...

Cheers

to BonzaiCelica - my pipes are with the normal material like most exhaust shops they provide.
Also they make this exhaust mandrel bent and it's look fine not perfect shape but still excellent!
About the cruizing in the city - WOW the sound is soooo nice - no loud BRRRRR just pure voice from the back like V6 or V8 !it will be different on 7300 rpm with 135 mph will try to make one video but need to be alone becouse my wife make me trouble and start screaming

i took the exhaust off my es300 donor car, cut the muffler and resonator off and bought a 2.25" fence post (10ft for 12$) and put that together under my car deleted my 2nd cat, kept a resonator, and the bigger dual outlet muffler. welded it all up and i have the same volume as before (quiet but noticeable) and an obvious increase in peppiness.

[BonzaiCelica]

cyprus take a friend who's also into car's like yourself and have him record the video from the outside.

[celica-s]

Does anybody tried putting on a Twin Loop Muffler?

Also i'm wondering how i can do a Y connection and put on two tail pipes one on each side?

TIA

[presure2]

Heres another b-pipe I'm working on for cam's(ted95) 3rd gen swap
This one is 304 stainless, 3" piping, with an electric cutout, like Dustin (batman722) has.
Tig welded with 308l filler rod (309l where it mates to the non stainless cutout) all the pipes were coated in the weld areas with solar flux on the inside, so the welds will not rust.





I ran out of argon, so ill finish it up tommorow.
Not the prettiest welding in the world, but it wont crack or leak, and it's definitely better than my mig welding jobs!!

[NYp8tBaller07]

thats much better than my crappy mig welding by far =p

[stephen_lee]

mine too lol

[808celica]

Alright got my vid up'd on youtube

Sticking out a little too far?? Naaaahhhh
