  1. Can say there's a noticeable improvement how it drives. Goes to show how much a bottleneck can hold back & negate other exhaust mods. Regarding drone, well my definition of drone is vibration in the cabin at certain rpms/load. This car has a boomy sound now, but nothing extreme. With the rear section done, and rezzie deleted, I would bet theres nearly a 10kw increase over stock, it honestly feels so much more lively at full throttle, and is so much more effortless at medium throttle around town.
  2. Success!!! After hearing stories from others that deleting the front resonator does nearly nothing, I was a bit worried..... But... It seems once the rears have been opened up, the front resonator was holding back the sound. I'm tempted to replace the last cat with a 100cpi version, but its about as loud as I dare take it without getting resonating drone through the cabin. This is the sound I wanted all along, and some of the engine burble can be feintly heard over the hum.
  3. After driving around with the custom rear section for awhile, I've decided to do a front resonator delete to gain a bit more sound. Booked in tommorow for $150. Inside the car u can hear it fine as it is, but I had somebody drive the car while I listened outside, and it sounded damn near stock apart from a slight hum. I'm hoping deleting the front rezzie won't bring back drone
  4. Was it possible to source the part from a used aurion? Like I said.... Sca better have their wallets open, because If u take them to small claims court they will have extra expenses to reimburse u for
  5. I went straight to aftermarket for 50 bucks and was simple to connect Is it really worth the trouble and expense to utilize existing camera?
  6. "insurance papers"..... Thanks KAA, good idea
  7. 10 years from 1st rego, from wat I've researched. Thanks to all those mass lawsuits overseas 👍
  8. Well its a consideration I guess until it's been approved with Toyota. I just thought the photos of the seat and floor mats was pointless
  9. Mine is a 2011 aurion, looks like registered November that year. Dash has been good, & I thought it was gonna stay that way, up until 7 days ago, even though the car always has lived outdoors, I had it parked at a new residence for a couple hours & the sun seemed to find the perfect angle to fry the front interior of the car. After burning myself on the leather seats, I noticed the dash was liquidfied on the front edges & has been that way since, even when parked in the shade. Took the car into Toyota, and a bunch of photos were taken of every part of the car, and the bloke commented that he was impressed with the condition of the paint. From what I gather from all this is, if u don't take care of the car, or it has lived in extreme conditions, this could be a reason for them to knock back the claim. I apparently have to come up with proof of ownership which is a bit confusing as rego slip doesn't provide that
  10. Are u trying to use the factory camera? U might have to bite the bullet and spend 50 bucks on an aftermarket one which are very straightforward to hook up
  11. I assume clear view to the sky, so top corner of the dash?
  12. Not sure about mods, but the engine would have alot more wear on it than the kms show, as police cars are left to idle for long periods
  13. Ha yeah, was just saying for a night's cruise, with a pair of axle stands it's a 5min job. At full throttle mine sounded amazing without the rears fitted. The drone at cruise was terrible though
  14. Thanks for posting vids. Wow that intake is loud. I'm keen on doing it one day, but a bit unsure on fitment and plumbing everything up properly. I've also heard there's a vacuum pipe that controls the engine mounts or something like that Also, try dropping the rear mufflers for a night and go for a cruise haha. At full throttle sounds like an Italian supercar 😂
  15. Mine looks original. 149,000km. Slight cracking in the ribs, she'll be right 😂
  16. Ebay. Had a quick look, just the glass is $15, and a new aftermarket mirror is $135. If u can find a way to force it to clip back on, or even glue it to hold, just buy the glass & u shouldn't be much out of pocket
  17. Don't Jam anything up the exhaust 🤪😂😂😂
  18. $25 on sale at autobarn https://www.autobarn.com.au/nulon-full-synthetic-5w-30-long-life-engine-oil-5l-syn5w30-5
  19. These cars actually have a chunky burble, but u will only hear it by dropping the rears complelely but it comes with mind blowing car shaking drone as well unfortunately. Your always gona hear some sort of engine humming with a 'sports' exhaust, but I found it milder than anything else I've played around with. I'm sorry you aren't happy with it mate, considering I was encouraging you lol 😞
  20. I'm really surprised u didn't like the sound. Yes there's any audible noise, but If it was any quieter, it would be stock. 😳 Maybe the y pipe mod raised the noise level more than acceptable when used in conjuction with straight thru resonators
  21. It makes the inside of the car a great place to be haha. Improves the feel of the car 1000x.. As per my post, it will make life easier if u get the zr6 white plug on the passenger side along with a little wiring so u can join it to ur existing wiring, and steal the power from ur drivers side. I've adjusted both seats at same time and fuse is ok I know my left knee sits very close to the centre console, I can't remember if the original seats were the same. Just make sure all electrics work. I found with my drivers seat, the up/down base adjustment wasnt working. I couldn't figure out if it was just a dirty switch as the plastics around the base are hard to remove so I left it
