well, depends what you want done... i specifically asked for them to leave the stock exhaust in one piece, so they obviously had to make up a new section (including y piece)... so that cost me $200...

the varex itself depends on where you buy it from... i bought mine on ebay from a place near ipswich which cost me $350 each...

if i were you, i'd get them to do two varex mufflers at the rear and remove the resonator... they have said that it can be done...

if i hadn't of sold my other varex, i would have dont this without even thinking about it.. :(

I'm surprised Rowan hasn't posted in here this arvo...

Speaking of which... I'm thinking of dropping my resonator, but I'll wait till Rowan has his turn on dyno day to see if there is any negatives to doing so.

dont think he was overly happy with the sound it produced....

but rowan, i just realised that those supercat mufflers on the rear are actually pretty good at muffling the sound...

so maybe if you change them to a different muffler, it might be better...

i'll let him post more about it though...

drew, i gotta come back and see you guys one day about something... :)

Headers? I've been talking about making them with a guy at work all day :P

Rowans rear mufflers need to be bigger.

relax everyone im here lol

well 1st of all i got bondies hotdog that he swore was the most horrible thing out. im sorry bondie but it was a really nice sound. less drone than stock but more meat, but wasnt really much louder SO i went back to drew and got straightpipe instead.

the result: VERY NICE!! probly the best sound your going to get out of the aurion. has got a tiny little bit more drone than stock resinator but it sounds really tough up in the revs, purrs nicely on the highway too. but not yet been too load...its just right so really happy with it.

the sound is like daryls cutout but louder

i found that the ecu must addapt to it because when i first put it on it was REALLY load all through the revs but now has calmed down a bit.

the performance is about the same....torque and especially midrange there seems to be a bit more, up top about the same but at about 6k rpm it has the nicest note u will ever hear on an aurion

so im sorry bondie my view is very different to yours and ill be out tonight with the brissy boys to see what they think

im happy to take anyone for a drive if they want

After hearing Rowan's exhaust modification both with and without load, I can say that it is definitely a nice sound. With no load, it is loud (but not overly) but when you back off, it has this really deep note that sounds sex.

With load however, it actually seems relatively quiet from outside the car. I was following him (with my Varex closed so I could listen) you could hear this louder exhaust, but it wasn't quite as obvious that it was coming from his car. It was fairly deep and at one of those frequencies that is hard to determine its direction. In comparison to other cars out there though, it still seems kind of quiet under load. I'm thinking those rear mufflers need something new.

I guess the dyno this Saturday will show whether the stock restrictions in the exhaust are really that much of one. Plus whether my Varex when closed causes me to lose power. All I'm interested in the meantime is whether my car is running the same or worse than stock, plus whether Rowan is getting better than stock.

havent been in it, so i dont know how bearable the drone is, but from the outside it sounds good... ;)

ps. rowan... just go straight pipe all the way to the tips... :P hehe

To be honest, it was as you said; "not much louder than before". Definitely needs less restriction at the rear. Those mufflers at the back really cover it up.

It's not Varex as per the thread title, but since we already started here, we may as well keep going. Just a clip of Rowan's exhaust. It's just a quick clip, because we anticipated getting one when it was (supposed to be) going on the dyno which would have sounded sweet. Anyways here it is. It sounds much better in person, and when you back off, it is really deep:

Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load!

does sound much nicer in real life...respyness only happens at about 6k but only free reving

much much deeper when you hear it in person

u get the idea tho

cheers (from lost in WA)

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 4 speed automatransmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 4 speed automatransmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed automatic transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.
