Well the car is booked in next Saturday for it's exhaust thanks Martin I have decided to go with your friends place. If you can make it next week that would be good. Not decided if I will go mandrel or press fit yet apporx 100 extra system will be cat back 2.25 inches. Or to get the Stainless steel muffler I was offered a drift unit for less than $250.

[illuminati]

peekay, is that the 13th or 20th?

13th im busy, gotta clean up the pabx at work then got the xmas party, but 20th ill come definately.

how much did they say it would cost?

hey peekay34

i think my friend has the muffler you mentioned here, but not so sure the size, i remmeber my friend got a silencer as well, plus the cost is the same $250 installed. i think it was a good deal.

i'm also interested getting a muffler for my 2002 Corolla, u reckon we both go down that shop, we could get a bit of discount.

cheers

gogo I will be there on Saturday I will be going the mandrel bend, with Redback exhaust after discussing with the exhaust shop 2.25 inches. They see no advantage going stanless steel. Also there is no diffrence in performance. Red back are used in performance cars any way. I am going for performance not noise. Plus is a lot cheaper than TRD. I was quoted $1000 for the rear muffler (TRD). If you want to turn up please do.

peekay34

ok, i think i will be there. by the way, what is Red back??? a brand or what??please let me know what that is. :D

so u will not be getting the stainless steel one? instead of this..u getting juz a steel muffler?

cheers :D

[peekay]

I will make up my mind on the day. Redback is a steel performance muffler as stated no peformance gain going to stainless steel anyway. Stainless just last longer. And I don't have any intention of keeping the car beyond 4 years anyway so makes no difference.

peekay

thx for the info. i have the same intension as u do. i wont keep the car long. modding the car is juz a lesson. we will learn more after all. :D

[gogosamuel]

there are 2 mufflers on sales, the brand is DRIFT (never heard of it b4)

1, stainless steel (2 1/2" input pipe & 4" tip) $199 (no Fitting)

2, same size same brand but titanium tipped $239

[peekay]

I will see what the exhaust shop says before I commit to anything.

Geez how did I miss this thread... :o

Ive kept the Centre section of my standard system from the manifold and the full length of the straight section which incorporates the cat and centre muffler... Youd have to see under your car to see what Im talking about...

I had the rear section cut off and a flange put on the straight cat and centre section... I ran 2.5" aluminised mild steel pipe from that flange to an SR Polished Stainless Barrel Muffler with 3.5" Outlet.. However this is fitted with 2.5" Removable Silencer... So when I compete in my club events I can up the ante with 110+ DB of exahust noise... :) With the silencer in it still has a very sporty note.. In fact its pretty damn good.. Never thought Id say that.. (27 Holdens Before the Stivo)

The exhaust mod netted about 9hp at the wheels according to the rolling road.. Which I thought wasnt to bad at all..

I can return the exhaust to factory configuration in about ten minutes by unbolting the rear section and putting the stock section back in place... :)

My advice is... Think about what you want to do before you do it... The straight cat and muffler section, as standard, flows pretty damn well.. No point in re inventing the wheel.. A little more flow out the rear is what your chasing.. You dont need to use a mass poser shanezz style rice cannnon like I did.. But meh... Its cool !! :D

Cheers,

Well exhaust time tomorrow and the AEM Tru Power pulley has arrived so if I get a chance I will fit it tomorrow.

[gogosamuel]

peekay

im really sorry that i couldnt make it tomoro (sat.), anyway, good to see u having things that u want.

please let me know what the exhaust guys say abt them :D

[gogosamuel]

anyone knows what is the difference btw from those well known brands such as TRD,APEXi with those no brands mufflers or universal mufflers?

i only know those well known brands are computerised when manufacturing, so the measurements are almost 100% correct (i would say).

why pay more for well branded if there are much diffecence beside the brand itself?

Did putting an exhaust on the stivo make a difference?

i looked under the stivo before..and it looks fairly big actually.

i've got a 2 1/4" system..and the stivo one looks just as big, if not bigger.

so...make any difference in performance?

[illuminati]

the stivo comes with 2" stock

so peekay, wots the word? hows the xhuast??? i wanted to come down yest but had **** to do. guess well see it on wed neways.

I just got back from an exhaust shop in Footscray. The salesman had a look at the exhaust and was very impressed. The standard one is 2 inches mandrel bent stainless steel.He used the word "beautiful" quite alot :D . His advice was to just get a different muffler, and not waste money in getting a cat back system as there is no need. The only restriction is at the muffler, so a sports one should give a few more horses and better sound. I was quoted 220 for a redback.

[NIKICH]

Im liking the sound of that, although im not from melbourne. I also had some1 take a look underneath and he said the same thing.

[lucio_libre]

A remus stainless steel 2 tip muffler would add around 4 to 5 kilowatts for these cars, or so i was told. The price? $950 fitted at car shine. <_< in Flemington.
