hey,

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

the normal 1zz are 2".

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.

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...

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.

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
