Guys i need some advise.

Got the levin coming soon.

A. want to put an exhaust system on it from the cat back because of warranty. What do you guys think is the best system?

B. i want to put the TRD cone filter system on from toyota. does it make a difference to sound,performance? is it worth it?

C. What suspension system do you guys suggest is best for the 2005 corolla? someone told me to get the sportivo springs but that doesnt drop it too much. i want to drop it by 40mm.

Thanks guys any help would be good. :)

Before anone flames you big time for asking all these questions that have already been covered, let me be the one to tell you.

Do a Search on the forum and you'll probably find what you are looking for. Then pick up on those treads and ask any more questions if you feel like they are insufficient.

So there, I've said it so please, no one else ask him to use the search button. :)

Ok no worries! still finding my way around!

cheers!

A. Not sure.. although im sure someone will be along any second to pimp the CES system..

B. Also look at the Injen and AEM Cold air intakes.. Makes a huge difference to the sound of the sportivos . (not sure about the levin)

TRD = $$$$$

Injen = not as much :P

Both will make your warranty a little iffy though

C. For a 40mm Drop you probably want to check out King Springs lows..

i think they are around $350 fitted

hey man wich area are you from if you are in sydney area or near penno i can recommend you to a good zorst place where i got mine from

but to my understanding good size for the 1zzfe is 2 1/4 inch cat back mandrel bent with a good high flow muffler for performance and the extra noise.

(i have a stivo so i might be wrong about the info but im pretty certain)

as for the CAI there is also another good place where there is only myself and 2 other people who have a certain CAI system on there stivos and trust me VERY EFFECTIVE MATE so once again depends if your from this area otherwise i not certain about the over seas brands

as for lowering im yet to get there myself im going the sleeper effect till i got the speed then im going looks when im finished the motor so im not the best person for lowering info

but also do you want a full sports setup or do you just wanna go lower with a half decent ride

cus you can go springs or adjustable coil overs or many other ways

like i said not the bst man for technical info haha cus im only fairly new to the forums myself but i just have done alot of research to find out as much as i can

cheers mate

Most tyre/suspension places will do ur suspension man ...

im going either king low or whiteline control (yet to find out how much they lower me by)

Kings are easy to find .. and in castle hill i know ive driven past a few places that do it ..

jsut yellow pages or if u can hike it go to liek Tempe Tyres or where ever ur getting ur tyres done

also payless in chatswood is quite good

or MRT in Rhodes does whiteline

i have no problem with that

the exhaust place itself is in penrith

the CAI place is in villawood not exactly but right near it

cheers man

check out the cruises section and come on the cruise

that goes for the rest of you too hehe

spoke to the guy at toyota he said all TRD parts dont give warranty problems.

He is lying.. i would be willing ot bet if your engine had troubles they wouldnt fix it due to the CAI

ask him to put it in writing and sign it.. i bet you he wont

Hey man I have a 1ZZ. So my answers are

a. Sportivo Cat back if u can find it from some1 off forum makes nice difference.

b. Trd Cold Air Intake, its bit exy but Its worth it.

c. If u just want about 40mm drop then go with Kings, if u want to spend more money on your suspension you can get set of Konis to it too. But if if ur spending that much money on the suspesnions I would rather go with coilovers that pippy is selling they are awsome.

Ok thats it from me with answers a and be i got 86.6kw at the wheels on my last dyno. Stock was 78kw.

Hope that helps u a bit.
