dont get a cannon style muffler.

if u just want some sound not really in it for the performance get a oval muffler much like this

Thanks for the response, i presume price is the main difference between getting a system that is gonna improve sound vs a system thats gonna improve performance and sound...

what sorta of price range's would i be looking at/what sort of thing should i be asking about? for sound and for sound/performance

Cause i'm just as keen to improve performance at the same time, but as with most things it comes down to dollar

cheers,

2.25" press bent catback system with a straight though muffler and a single hotdog shouldn't set you back more than a few hundred.

im really keen to do a good job with it and not end up with a ****ty milo tin

i was also curious as to the how a 2" would compare to a 2.25" regarding performance and sound?

2" is what your car comes with stock so dont even bother, and obviously 2.25" will become louder, i think you gain more power top end but mite lose a tad down lower in the rev range.

2.25" from catback is the way to go for the 1zz but if u dont want to upgrade the whole system, sportivo muffler does a treat or just get the sportivo exhaust from the catback from a wreckers and have it installed on your car.

thanks for the ideas.

by the sounds of it i should go with the full system of:

2.25" press bent catback system with a straight though muffler and a single hotdog

if i want a hum and not a fart in terms of sound and some performance thats the way i should go?

will price vary depending on quality of parts or is anywhere goin to sell similar quality setup for similar price?

If not... what sort of price am i looking at and where are some recommended places to go to avoid it looking and sounding ****

cheers

Just had a quote this afternoon, from Roy at AutoExcess (Melbourne) for $290 to supply and fit an XForce twin loop to my 06 IZZ-FE manual.

Dunno...seems reasonable.??

On another point, how many of you guys have actually declared your exhaust mod to your insurance company, and what exactly was their response..(eg increased premium, etc etc ..?) I'm with AAMI.

Apparently with the new AAMI policy (as of march or so) you get 3 mods before they bump up your premium.

I had extractors, catback + induction declared on my policy with no price change.

I had her lowered and I got a premium increase (it was about 11%). Getting a UR strut brace + rear sway bar soon so we'll see what happens when I change the policy again.

IMO 2.25" is far too small.

I would disagree with that statement.

A 2.25 inch system on a 1.8 litre 1ZZ is more than enough.

I agree with DJKOR,

just so you ALL know and understand this:

Standard 1zz-FE Exhaust piping is 1.75" - Peeshooter size

The Sportivo (2zz-GE) Exhaust is 2.25" - a very good upgrade from the standard 1zz exhaust.

The next option is a 2.5" catback exhaust, which WILL reduce preformance on a 1zz, if there isn't any mods to support this size exhaust. (eg. CAI and headers)

On a Sportivo, very good mod.

and of course, get 3" piping ONLY if running forced induction or upgraded ECU.

      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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
