remus mufller

[melvinlau]

i was thinking about getting a custom cat back exhaust for my corolla, what does everyone think about that? is it a good idea to do that? or is it better to go for a remus or apexi?

u want gains in performance go for remus or CES or even magnaflow :D

[--Rudes--]

I put a custom 2.24" cat-back exhaust ending in a toyota sports muffler (2" pipe diameter I think), and I noticed good gains.

i say go custom if you want aussie steel, but if you want european get remus or jap spec go apexi then

[melvinlau]

well thats the big toss up really, coz im getting quoted about $360 fitted for a custom, or $1000+ for a branded one, just wondering if its really worth it? anyone?

[shaohaok]

360 for a custom?

[kcorro]

the custom sounds like a cut weld muffler job and the branded a bolt on exhaust system

[melvinlau]

well isn't that what a custom job is? pretty much making an exhaust system fit it, with some cutting and welding... so what u guys think? is it worth goin for it?

The Japanese use Aussie or Thai Steel anyway... but either way it's all made from Aussie ore!!! :P

I'm guessing you're talking about a mild-steel custom exhaust for $360. The branded one will probably be stainless steel. I don't think the type of steel will make any difference in performance gains. Stainless steel would be more durable.

Also, not sure about corollas, but for S15s, the japanese bolt-on exhausts aren't fitted to the car's underbody, so you lose ground clearance. With a custom exhaust, you'll be sure you maintain ground clearance.

Ahhh thanks for that, i never really thought bout what it was made of eh, i guess i'd be wanting stainless steel... don't want a hole to be eaten out of my exhaust, and ground clearance is something that i've never thought about...

so im guessing the remus is a simple bolt on system? no cutting and welding...
