Just like you said, all I did was swap the vacuum hoses around so that the upper intake valve stays open and blocked off the lower resonator. I actually blocked off the resonator and did not remove it

Any performance gains you are seeing are not completely outrageous, but there is some science in the intake system... V6 intakes are a complex configuration, as there are many tricks that have been de

just need to post again cos i couldnt beleive how loud it was...u could hear it from the next block no worries, it WILL turn heads, sounds like vtec cos it comes on suddenly at about 4k but really deep

it would just be because the computer hasnt adjusted to it yet, like the guys said give it a bit and it wont be as loud..... :(

Keep us posted on how it sounds after a couple of days driving. Not that my changes were extreme, but I remember changing my intake layout and it was loud as for a bit (and I then realised why it has a resonator on it), but over a day or two it tamed down, but still sounds nice.

So Drew: How easy would it be to replicate what you just did?

Slightly off topic: What change in particular would the ECU make that effectively cuts down on the noise? Is it timing or something?

well i think its because atm it sucking way to much air because its used to the restriction of the previous setup hense the loud noise.

same happened with my exhuast, loud then soft :( cant explain that one tho.

Drew mentioned you had a little more kick to it after fitting it. Now if that's the case, we need to figure out how to override that stupid AI so that it will hold it like that.

same happened with my exhuast, loud then soft :( cant explain that one tho.

After a bit of driving, you get a bit of carbon build-up on the interior surfaces of the pipe work which even though may only be a small difference, seems to alter the sound.

Any pic of the setup? B)

nar not yet man just sliped it in purely to see if the engine light would come on. still bare metal, MAF hole needs to be made a tad bigger, spacers for maf need to be put on, i will then put it on again and get a bracket made up, then it will be off to get coated.

so hopefully around 2 weeks and ill have it all comeplete, u will be sure to see some photos then.

awesome man!!!

id be keen to try it on my car one day to see if the trd ecu will accept it or not... :D

meanwhile, speaking of exhaust loudness... i think mine has become louder... :huh:

very strange... :huh:

The TRD one will have to be different as Rowan can attest to - the breather is on the opposite side. I originally guesstimated the layout for the vacuum lines off a picture of yours, but turns out it's sorta wrong for the non-TRD models :P

Anyway, stoked that it works. It sounds pretty awesome, not anywhere near as bad as my car used to sound with a SRI. It's fairly noticeable when you get up into it, which Rowan was pretty pleased about :)

Looking good. I guess the dyno results tomorrow will show any changes.

I'm not sure what 00UCH has under wraps, but it will be 00UCH vs ELEGNT vs DJKOR. SecaBoy is out of the equation :lol:

So it will be something like this:

00UCH - ??? If he didn't have his car for a couple of weeks, he must mean business.

Rowan - SRI, 2.5 inch cat-back with dual oval 2.5 inch straight through mufflers, no resonator

DJKOR - Stock intake minus restrictions (stock woven panel filter though), dual Varex (2.5 inch straight through), with resonator.

I think I'm back of the pack. I hope my ECU has adapted to the thrashing I've given it over the last year.

ELEGNT, mind doing 1 with the car not in motion from outside? Wanna hear the deep tone..

It sure sounds great from in and outside the car... Just wanna hear when it stays still.

So while i'm sitting here in WA wishing i lived in Brisbane i thought i'd be adventurous and try a few of these things. Replacing the Head unit and speakers is officially the most work i've ever done on a car and it terrified me (especially pulling out the back seat).

IF i buy a K&N drop in filter (learning the Lingo) can anyone tell me what model? to buy?

Would it be possible for a noob to change the upper and lower resonator himself and if so what do i do?

AM i ever gonna be able to but one of those SRI's that Random hero made and could i install it if i did?

thanks for the helping hand peeps!

You just need to ask for a 07+ Camry V6 K&N filter (if you order from the US, which is where I'd order mine from). If you want to be specific, the product code is: 33-2326.

Would it be possible for a noob to change the upper and lower resonator himself and if so what do i do?

Lower resonator removal is simple. Since I didn't take photos, I'll direct you to a thread over in the States that has the steps:

as promissed.. Lower Intake Resonator removal DIY

As for removing the upper resonator, you will need to make something to fit in it's place. I did so with a 22 degree bend of 3 inch stainless steel then I drilled two holes in it (one for the crankcase ventilation, one for some vacuum line) then put some rubber grommets in to seal it. Then I bought some reinforced silicone hose and joined it all up. A bit of effort to get it done, but it sounded nice afterwards.

AM i ever gonna be able to but one of those SRI's that Random hero made and could i install it if i did?

If Drew manages to replicate them and then sell them, you would be able to fit it yourself since it is that simple. I'm tempted to get one, but I've never been a fan of oiled filters.

That would do the trick. A bit on the pricey side but it is made pretty good. I was considering that as well.

what kind of price should it be?

Thanks Daryl! will remove lower resonator today and let you know how i go!

That is around the right price. I'm just saying that it is pricey when you can get one made up by the right guys for at least half of that.

That said, it comes with a K&N filter and the heat shield. Even with the price it is, I would still consider it. But it's only really for the note. It doesn't have a noticeable gain.

Highly doubt it will affect warranty unless they can prove that removing it was responsible for damaging the engine. If you remove the first resonator, there is hardly anything it ca ndo to damage the engine, and I doubt they can blame anything on that. But when it comes to taking your money, they will think of something.

It's not a solid yes or no answer since it's hard to predict what they will say should anything happen. I would be leaning more towards no though. No point putting it back either when getting a service. They didn't even say anything when I took mine in.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      My 2011 V6 Aurion is doing the same vibration and wheel wobble under acceleration I replaced all the tyres had it checked over by mechanics not sure whats wrong after reading all the above conversations it's a mystery what it could be 🤔 Please let me know any possible answers ? Cheers ETW 777

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
