    Help needed

    Yeah toyota have had this problem for years (I am stuffed why they keep doing the same mistakes),The older model seca's and other toyota models have the same problem 2, Being an exhaust fitter, i have replaced the flexi joint with one that has a internal stainless steel braid to reduce the noise... but these flexible joints aren't cheap and they aren't easy to fit ether, as they need to be welded in. Though i dont quite know if it will fix your noise as i haven't done a new V6 camry, and if it has tube type manifold, as these tend to make a noise like what you describe aswell, its what we call "pipe noise" in the exhaust industry...
  2. Havent hit one in my car but I once had a bird fly into the front of my motorbike and came out the back undamaged and flew away, was only at 60k's though, but he had some navigating 2 do to get to the back.
  3. Rollagrl has already had her message tone as her car for weeks now...
  4. 4-2-1 eh well this configuration is suited best to help the mid range due to the scavenging effect, strange how they would use this as the 2zz-ge has most of its peak power in the upper rev range, i wonder what effect a set of tuned length headers would have on the peak power figure...
  5. Just make sure when you have adjusted it that there is a tiny bit of free play on the clutch fork (in the engine bay) about 1-2 mm play is normal if the fork cant be moved like this then your clutch will not engage properly and it might slip, as it has been adjusted too much...
  6. Your forgetin the USA versions Pontiac Vibe (SUV), and the Matrix which are both available in AWD versions (auto only for the AWD ones) And for the rumors from toyota (USA): http://www.toyotacelicaonline.com/rumors.htm#tc
  7. Yes but have you seen the pipe directly after the headers, it would have to be nearly three inch in diameter, this acts as an expansion chamber allowing the gases somewhere to go quickly before it has to pass through the system, reducing back pressure, also when the gases get pushed into the smaller pipe it incresses the exhaust gas velocity, they use the same principle on gas turbines, plus the standard 2 1/8 system is mandrel bent and has enough flow to handle 250 hp, as for back pressure even a pipe without bends or mufflers has "restriction" or " back pressure" just not nearly as much. For instance a 3" pipe with a constant radius 90deg (mandrel) bend. the 90 deg bend has approximately the same restriction as 9 feet of straight pipe. Also the catalyst ceramic substrate would just about create enough back pressure on its own, and does the CES exhaust remove all the 2 1/8 pipe in the system or does the flanges join onto a 2 1/8 pipe, just curious... and yes i am an exhaust fitter. The CES system sounds like a great exhaust system though, as it performs and is quiet to a certain extent.
  8. A Only adjusts the pedal height, which if they want more movement of the pedal they would have adjusted it, by the look at the pic its pretty much at the max adjustment atm. C Is where the main adjustment would have been, as this controls the amount the adjustment at the master cylinder, just be careful that you dont adjust it too much as it might damage the master cylinder or you might not get full engagement of the clutch, so make sure there is a tiny bit of slack on the pedal so that the cluch is fully engaged. B Is the stopper to stop you from pushin your clutch pedal into the engine bay, judgin by the marks on the frame you'd like to do this.... Edit: But dont trust me too much as i play with nissans... And as for the R6, I have shot down many a bigger bike in town, as the corners will kill them, but on the staight its a different ball game, as mine only goes to 287 klm/h...
  9. Well your cruising down the freeway and then you come across this: Hmmmmm.....
