OK As most of you are aware, I aquired a CES Catback exhaust for my 2ZZ this weekend at a great price from mowog.

After having this fitted to my car, when I drove out of CES's driveway, I knew that my car was certainly liking the difference.

I didnt notice much myself until I took the onramp back to the highway. Basically, between 3000rpm and lift, the car appears to have created an ability to flow smoother and free-er.

This is where I have noticed the increas in power as well as Lift not being as abrubt, although still fun.

Driving on the highway, when dropping back a gear or 2 when overtaking actually appears easier as If you are in that 3000 - 6000 rev range, the cars response has been increased.

So far, since having it fitted, I drove 50km (approx) from CES to my house on the highway, 25km round trip in semi traffic to my local major shopping centre and back, then I went out last night with 4 people in my car on a 50km round trip to the city and back in traffice.

Can I say, anyone that has ever complained about the noise in these things is a d!ck cause there isnt any. If any of you have met my wife, you will know that she will be the first to complain about something like that. She was with me when I went to the shopping centre and back. I also had her, as well as her parents and a friend of theirs in the car when we went out last night.

None of them commentted about the noise being annoying in anyway, and as we got home, I asked them all if the noise from the exhaust was in anyway annoying, droning, upsetting and loud.....they all said no....

So where to from here, only up. Time to get my CAI as soon as I can to get more air in and away we go.

MASSIVE THANKS TO TREVOR AT CES FOR SQUEEZING ME IN AT SUCH SHORT NOTICE TO FIT THIS EXHAUST TO MY CAR :toast::toast::toast:

I noticed the loss in mid range straight away with the stock system fitted. AZZA I am glad you like the system I loved it on my car as well. And I liked the sound it made as well.

Cant wait for the Ute to arrive :clap:

Those who have been in my car know the CES is not over bearing (I know Chris (FRED) was very eager after the lift I gave him from Newcastle to Picton. I've taken my parents in my car several times since both the CES and the coilovers have been put in (both 50+) and neither of them have found them uncomfortabe, in fact it remains quite comfortable to have a conversation into the backseat, even on the highway at 110km/h and 3,500 rpm constant for 1/2 an hour.

24 hours on and Im still loving it. Im not finding the sound annoying or overbearing at all. The only time the noise makes itself known is when your using compression to decellerate through the 4000 - 2500 range, but I wouldnt say its too noticable

What he said...

I understand that all ZZE model corolla's have the same floorplan with the same exhaust route, but I stand corrected if someone knows otherwise....

Jeff, there is some evidence that suggests a cannon will actually decrease the power your car is putting down. If power is not a big issue, then noise is the next suggestion. Stock sportivo mufflers aren't that loud when you thnk about them....

There is also 'some' evidence that CES lose power or dont gain any at all...

      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!!!
