ive found an APEXI exhaust5 muffler on ebay brand new.

any way what i wanna know is its a 2" inlet and 3" outlet will that fit ok on my sportivo?

or will i need 2 1/4" to 2 1/2" for it to be useful and fit properly?

plus is APEXI a good brand?

any would would be greatly appreciated because the auction is ending soon and i wanna get but i dont to purchase it and then not be able to use it.

thanks

hey,

i'm pretty sure that the exhaust are 2 1/4 or 2 1/2, definitely not 2"

the normal 1zz are 2".

maybe someone can back me up...

eveh tho i've got the stivo exhaust... sigh....

yeh my 1zz levin engine (the 100kw one) only has a 2" inlet. im sure the sportivos are more than that.

u can always fit an exhaust with a bigger inlet, just needs a bit of modifying. although, when i put an exhaust with a 3" inlet on my car, i lost power. so u might wanna be careful.

so would it be easier to fit one with a 2" inlet onto the stock 2 1/4 pipe on the stivo or go with the 2 1/2" inlet just to be safe?

sweet thanks mate now i just need to know if it would be sweet to have a 2" inlet on the muffler attached to the slightly larger exhaust i already have.

or if it would be better to just wait and find one with a 2 1/2" inlet instead.

slightly larger ??? um....I dun have much idea, however, it seems you also doubt about to buy or not to buy.

Don't let the 29 mins push you, I suggest you should wait and get a deal later which you will be 100% satisfy. :D

Outlet isn't a problem but the 2" inlet is smaller than standard. Standard they are just a bit smaller than 2 1/4" so performance gains will probably be hampered but it'll look great under the back of your car. Depends on whether you want the noise/look or the performance gain. :D

it is a 2" inlet on the 1zz but i got TRD extractors which were designed for the stivo which is either 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" im not exactly sure, but i got them modified for my car... so either way, its not so bad if the exhaust doesn't fit, just need to do some chopping! :P

While we're on this topic, while I'd love a Remus muffler, the cost is a little bit steep ... does anyone know of a less expensive muffler for the 1ZZ that offers a nice, almost standard volume when cruising, but will open up a bit when you put the boot in?

i must say,

i took my standard exhaust off and put on a stock sportivo cat back.

even though due to the fact that there was some restriction in the welding at the muffler from previous work, on the dyno before and after still gave me a 3kw gain.

can't hear a thing when cruising or idling... but when you floor it... that's another story...

Ive put on a Lukey muffler, with twin 3inch tips... The sound is deep and nice. Not loud when not pushing it, but when u want some nice deep noise its there. looks phat aswell, a far cry from the standard ascent little black thing :ph34r:. i've had a lot of comments about the sound, all good.. The biggest comment i get is about the note it makes, very nice im extremely happy with lukey..but performance wise im not sure.. as im on my P's performance is not an option... YET :lol:

I reckon it looks great, classic twin pipes and without the current trend of mufflers that are so low, you can't go over a bridge without scraping the expansion joints! :P

I called the state distributor and they pointed me to the most convenient outlet for installation. I don't know who it would be for QLD but I can give you the details for the VIC one and maybe they can point you in the right direction.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
