Toytota Exhaust

[Camry P Plater]

Hey how are ya this is my first post.

Im Seb i drive an 03 Camry Altise and am a P Plater from Adelaide. I would like to put a Cat-Back exhaust on it, but when i went to get a quote today the bloke said that because its a 4 cylinder i shouldnt do it as he has done them before and that they sound very rattly when done. Know can someone back this bloke up from past experiences etc or does he just do really dodgy jobs?

Cheers

*nods

no probs with fittin a catback to a 4cyl if done properly bud

try some other places. ;)

[Camry P Plater]

ok cheers. ANyone know any good places here in Adelaide that can do a good job. Profix estimated it for $350 the other day is that a good buy?

[lateralus]

$350 isnt too bad, just it depends on the quality of the job. for a good quality cat back system i'd budget for $500

[dannywss]

doubt on the quality with $350... EVEN if he gave u a freaking good discount

[thegourou20]

The price usually depends if you want it in mild steel or stainless as well! :)

[i_amhere]

Stainless steal is a waste of money.

But cat-back exhaust systems sound fine on a 4 cylinder.

2.25" with a hotdog and a decent muffler should sound fine and not be too expensive. If you were in Brisbane, you could come to us :)

[Camry P Plater]

I was looking at getting a cannon. Maybe a cannon. Because it seems you know a thing or two about it random hero could you tell me what kind of exhaust would sound the best?

Cheers Seb

[dannywss]

u wan good sound, and u choose canon??? how did that come close together?

[and1]

No cannons!!

Cannons give you that crappy farty sound. If you want something with half decent sound get an oval muffler.

That reminds me I still need to get my cat back piping done?

PS. Sorry to hijack, but if I was moving up to 2.5' piping from the stock stivo piping and I'm currently running a muffler with a 2.25' inlet, would it be restrictive if I was to continue using the same muffler?

Cheers

Any exhaust without sufficient muffling will give you that farty sound. Cannons are fine, but make sure you combine it with the biggest hotdog you can fit - 15" is good, 18" is even better.

2.5" is realistically too big for your car, unless you have a highly tuned engine and shift constantly near the limiter. 2.25" would have been ideal, so going down a little bit on your rear muffler won't make one iota of difference.

Hot dog is that what comes before the muffler?

[Madrox]

best way to describe how a canon would sound on your car.

grab a milo tin, fart in it and hear the sound bouncing off the walls of the empty tin.

[the_random_hero]

It's a long resonator, such as .

NA Twincam engines with a displacement <2L are notorious for having a "fart" whenever they aren't sufficiently muffled - adding the biggest resonator you can will take a lot of that out.

Ahh ok. Do you think a sports exhuast would be better than a cannon?

[Simo]

LAWL, yes..

do you have a gelled up faux hawk, shop at parlament and say "fully" and "hectic" alot??

A sports exhaust will give you a smooth note. I would get a nice tip at the end.

[Camry P Plater]

Yeh have changed my mind from a cannon im just going to get a sports exhuast with a twin muffler something similar to that: http://www.getprice.com.au/Sports-Racing-C...0--34257032.htm

Just so you know, there won't be any power gains and stay away from canons unles you want to be deaf.

[Ascendant Rice]

Rather then start a new thread im going to recycle this one. Will just changing the muffler to say a twin loop make the exhaust sound better as in not silent?

How about changing the muffler and replaceing the big thing in the middle of my car with a hotdog?

im nub when it coems to exhaust.

im not looking for performance upgrade just some ricey noise. If i was goign for performance i would want low end torqe rather then top in hp any recomendations?

[Ascendant Rice]

If you are only looking for a note, pop down to your local exhaust shop and see what they recommend. Not sure if the twin loop will be loud enough.

Also, suggest look on youtube see what type of note different mufflers give.

Get a cannon...
