Well the time has come and my car goes in tomorrow to have the exhaust done. EXCITING!! I will try and make a video like DJ has or somesort to show what it is like... In reference to my other post noise/leak i have my car booked in with Toyota Thursday to have the boot stripped as i washed my car again and that left hand cavity filled up with water again!!! Quite annoying as i lose my 2 days off work this week and will have no car :( luckily my GF's a hairdresser and her work is down the road from the exhaust place so ill get a nice free haircut while waiting :) NUMBER PLATES .... i used to have DJK 669 (David John Kauschke) 669 for laughs .... im still unsure on what to get ... DA3VI0 or something like that...... SHOUT OUT SOME MORE IDEAS!!! :)

Thanks for your words of advice, i didnt notice it myself. Im a 21 yr old guy who has a very annoying father who is a rev head, yet picks on everything i do when driving lol. It seems to be louder than when he first pointed it out to me, i also have this issue with when i was my car the L) area side of the boot under the mat gets filled up with water, i dont know if this is a leak or if its just where the excess water drains. I am getting toyota to have a look at this sometime next week so i may point out the noise at the same time also ..... Weird thou to get water collecting in that area near the spare tyre, was very green water at first (washing place uses strong colour foam)

Thankyou for your advice Daryl :) - I have booked it in for this Wednesday coming up so i will express to the guy what i want done on monday morning when he calls back.... They do all the pipe bending direct there hence a cheaper price and coz my mate has had his RX7 done there - he is keeping the price low .... Im tempted to go for the removal of the resonator and leave the 2.5" all the way through but yet again .... i dont know much about what im taliking about... Just dont want to be stuck with a DRONE and have to spend more on fixing it.

Hi all, seeming as im bored at work at the moment - feel like posting some more stuff as your all so helpful... I seem to get a very distict whistle come from the motor when i put my car in reverse .... no matter if the car is hot or cold .... Anyone else had any similar problems ... any idea as to what it could be??

@ DARIUS - Yeah he definatelly said to remove the cat as there are 2 more up a bit higher and to keep the Res in place .... He said without the Res in place it would sound like an EXCEL on meth.... lol im still undecided. Canons at the back arent something i want at this point of time. @ SECABOY - It is tempting to just have that done but i want something that no one has done yet just for a sound comparison as to what sounds the best ... i have a budget of $1600 max but would rather keep it to 1K max ....... As per the custom plate suggestions .... sound good but not tempting enough .... SA FEES only charge yearly if all 6 letters and no numnbers or are 7 letters .... Im thinking some King Springs would also give a nice mm drop to put the car sitting nicely near the wheels too ....

mmm that looks really good in that pic ..... i might have to show him that and see what he thinks .... I have no knowledge in this area so its hard for me to know much :) Thanks for the advice ... keep it coming....

He said there are 3 cat's up under there, 2 tucked away and one near the resonator .... so he will remove that one....

Hi all, i posted a topic a while back when i got my car, but will start this one up with some new details. So i want to get my exhaust done and my mate took me to the local shop to pop it up so they can look underneath...... What they want to do sounds good but i dont really know what it means "my fault im a nurse, not knowledgeable in car stuff like i wanna be...." So they said remove the catalytic, leave the resonator and go 2.5' stainless all the way down to the end, where they will put some sports mufflers in .... i dont know if this sounds good, or if the end product will be worth it, but the quote was for $1000 all done... Please feel free to give advice ..... Dont know if i want to book it in yet or not .... Am also about to do the AUX mod :) my FM transmitter is a belkin which is meant to find the clearest station .... lol what a joke that is!! Have included a couple pictures of my car just for looks :) AND ANY HINTS ON SOME CUSTOM PLATES ????? I NEED SOME!!! also since those pics ..... the bonet and headlight protectors are gone .... sticker on back window gone and number plate surroundings swapper for some holden envy 'AUSSIE PRIDE" ones....

Hi everyone - i have finally sold my 2005 Corolla and UPGRADED to a 2008 Toyota Aurion Sportivo SX6 - i am in need of 'modding' this some more already after having it for 3 months....... I instantly removed the headlight and bonet protectors that are shown on the picture i have included... My uncle works for ROH so i am in need of some nice 20" chrome's for my car and well i want to know what you recommend i can do simply so enjoy what i already enjoy more :) aurion.bmp
