damm nice one DJ look forward to seeing /hearing them also you coming out tonight ?

if so Ill see you there

Nah, I'm in Darwin at the moment... possibly until next Friday. I have placed my order now though so that by the time I get back, I just need to go have them fitted.

I will be doing quite a bit of travelling over the next couple of months or so which means I won't be at many meets like usual. On the other hand, I'm getting a good boost into the mod savings. Time to slowly recover.

Decided to not go ahead with it... Sooo i'm selling it on ebay...

Damn. It's hard to think that when I got mine, I got the stainless steel pipe with mine as well and I got it for a good price thanks to the 0.99 exchange rate at the time. Good luck with the auction.

In other news, one I get back to Brissy, I'm going to get my cutout... cut out. Why? Because I just bought myself two Varex mufflers.

Oh no! That's more than a full system right there! Still going to get the other bits fixed up with us?

You know me... I'm pretty stubborn. When I make my own plans, I tend to stick to them. I always wanted Varex, and now that I have the money to spare, I bought them. It may cost a bit, but at the moment my income is coming in pretty strong. I've got more than enough to spend on extras for myself... and that's after putting some aside for savings.

I may put the front exhaust section on hold for a bit longer. I don't think fixing it while my Aurion is N/A will provide any benefits ;). Not that I've got any plans or anything.

x2, its the least of my worries at the moment.

Down the track....maybe, but right now I dont have the time, motivation or $ to do it.

Hey - random Q's which I just thought of.

With Varex's running off a remote...and Aurions having 2 mufflers - does that mean we'd have to lug around 2 remotes? or can it be hooked up to work on 1 remote?

And is there any way possible of rigging it up so there's like a rocker switch on the small panel to the right of the steering wheel? (Near electic side mirrors)

And if 2 Aurions are together, both with Varex...can it be controlled on the same remote or are they on different frequencies?

You could just get an exhaust system made that gives you gains, sounds nice and doesn't need an electronic flap to keep the noise legal.

It really is quite a novel idea to do it this way!! Personally with the flap open you make an aurion sound like you are trying to compete with V6 Commonwhore owners who remove mufflers to make "noisepower" and want to noticed for all the wrong reasons.

I would like to see a dyno sheet comparing flap open and closed to see what the "real" difference in power is.

My guess is bugger all if on the negative side......

I'm interested to know how much you got both of them for delivered .....

I got both of the oval Varex mufflers for $700 with free delivery (had it sent up with something else which I didn't have to pay for).

Yeah I know this isn't going to give me more performance or any of that stuff. I don't see too much point in making this car any quicker for the road. I'm just satisfied with the way that my car sounds minus the rear mufflers because the resonator does a really good job. I also can't live with a car that is louder than stock 24/7, even if it's only by a small amount.

That's alright since you are getting both :)

I have to admit, I love the sound of em. Now that my ECU has adjusted to it, yummmmmmmmm ................................

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.

      Transmission U660e

      @campbeam much appreciated, very interesting, it’s got me buggered as on the Toyota Estima groups everyone is quoting 1.6 litres cold for a drain and drop, now, these run the exact same drivetrain as the Aurion 2GR-FE and U660E combo, so in theory all figures should line up, I’m hedging my bets on your maths and techniques though, you seem well versed…. thanks again

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      My wife is looking at purchasing a new 2024 C-HR Hybrid. Does anyone with one of these know whether the doors lock automatically when driving off? Her 2018 C-HR doesn't do this which is annoying as my 11 year old Kia Sportage does.
