1998 toyota camry conquest v6 exhaust?

[TJtoyota]

Hello all I have a 1998 toyota camry conquest V6, I need to get the rear muffler replaced and was thinking of getting a sports muffler to get a nice note from the 3.0 v6, I was also thinking of just getting a cat back exhaust made up not to sure, what are your opinions? Is it worth getting a cat back or is it a waste of time? Also what size piping should I use 2 1/2 inch or 2 1/4 inch? Cheers everyone.

Tom.

Go and have a talk to your local exhaust shop. Sidenote: extractors are a good mod to do...

[TJtoyota]

Can you suggest a good brand of extractors?

Cheers Tom.

I would personally recommend Pacemakers (having used them with great success on an old Datsun SSS Stanza and a XA Falcon), however, I dunno if they make them for a V6 Camry, or for what price if they could/did... If that doesn't work out, just Google/have a look on eBay (that's what I do, lol).

To my knowledge no Australian company makes extractors for the 3VZ-FE or 1MZ-FE engines. You will have to get them custom made or import them. OBX in the US makes them, however I believe they require modifying.

[TJtoyota]

What sort of modifying will the OBX headers need? And how much roughly would a set of custom headers cost from those who are in Australia, cheers.

How long is a piece of string?

Just ring a couple of exhaust shops, tell them exactly what you want and gather quotes.

[TJtoyota]

Cheers for the replies, would these headers fit my 1998 toyota camry?

I put a 2.5 catback on mine with a gen 5 sportive exhaust...good bang for buck and it's a simple solution as they mount straight up...nice note too but not excessively loud as they are a glass pack

[TJtoyota]

Hey RelishGTP can you give me a link to this cat back exhaust.

Cheers

Holy crap, you're alive!

As for costs, custom means expensive, last set I know of were well over $1000. In regards to the OBX, not sure exactly, the info is around, you just need to search for it.

[RelishGTP]

Yeah mate got back to aus about a month ago, how ya been?

As for the catback just get an exhaust shop to make one..think mine was around $200

[TJtoyota]

Cheers guys gonna go to my local exhaust shop tomorrow to get a price, what size piping do use suggest? 2.25" or 2.5" for the v6 only other mods I'm gonna do is cold air intake.

Cheers Tom.

[RelishGTP]

2.5

[TJtoyota]

Thanks relish for the reply, I thought 2.5 but then I read on Google that 2.25 would suit a v6 and it would help with lower end torque and that 2.5 would lose lower end torque but be better for top end so I got confused.

Cheers.

[trentmeyer23]

2.5".

[TJtoyota]

2.5" it is, cheers guys

[STYLSH]

Let me know when you are thinking about the CAI. I actually have my old set up in the storeroom.

[TJtoyota]

Hey STYLSH, what brand and type is your old CAI?

Cheers Tom.

[TJtoyota]

Went to my local exhaust shop today and he said that a 2.25" exhaust is plenty big enough for a stock camry v6, now I don't know what to go for lol. I'm not wanting to lose power and I'm after a nice deep note he said 2.5" will have a good note but will lose power he also said a 2.25" will not lose power but would be quieter than a 2.5 inch. Just thought I would fill you in.

Cheers Tom

We know what works, he may have, but odds are that he has never done one on a Camry before. Just go with a 2.5".

[TJtoyota]

Cheers mate, will be going in to get the 2.5" installed. I'll let you know how I go.

[STYLSH]

The pipe from throttle body to the back of the battery are all the same between the brands. I got the cold air extension to the guards custom made 2.5in diameter but 3in right at the end to fit a bigger pod filter.

Flowed enough to make 170kw atw on the car.

You should get a new silicon join for the top as that rubberones have gotten hard with the hot cold cycles.

Cheers for the advice STYLSH, may I ask what mods you have done to make 170kw at the wheels? As I would like to get around that sort of power.
