due to my "friends'" inability to help after several dates to help and no-shows.... is there anyone in the nj/ny area that would wanna help me install/troubleshoot my exhaust install... would pay for your time/services via $ or lunch or parts or whatever... i just need this exhaust done ASAP... it's on but is making a butt load of noise and cant tell if its vibration... leak... both... poor choice of parts... etc....

fyi...

it's megan header -> invidia s-pipe -> megan mid-pipes -> megan drift spec axle back... all parts used, and bought from fellow scionlife ppl

thanks ahead of time guys/girls

 

if your close to philly, hit up mufflex... they do awesome work and will not kill you on the bill. there like a midas but more for the tuner at heart

 

you should hit up a muffler shop for that trouble shooting. If you dont want to do that, i'd be happy to help, but a trained eye, would be way better.

 

it just sucks, cause after i let off the gas i hear it sorta back fire and rattle the exhaust... any ideas where this might be coming from and why its happening...

 

if it is making a loud raspy sound when you press on the gas then buddy you need a resonator install that and your problems will be gone.

 

Backfire when you let off gas can be the exhaust has a leak.......double check your gasket seals..........with all the pieces you put on it is gonna be loud and raspy........need a resonator.........but first check for leaky gasket on the pipes........

 

as far as a resonator goes... theyd take off the first piece of the mid pipe and take off the (i think) 18 inch one and replace it with lets say a 30? right?

 

you u have tools i can help u or atleast try to help u out i had alot of troubles with my exhaust with leaks and loud noises

 

yea i think i got most of the tools i need, when would work for you, i work in that area during the day, well actually guttenburg but i drive thru there to get to work, and did you ever get anything settled with those tickets and stuff?

that sucks, good luck with that

thats one of the issues lol, i also have a small leak i have to locate and other ideas and also rattling, so i have to re-check all my gaskets and such, but it suckls when 1-you're car is lowered and a regular floor jack wont slide under and all you can do is raise it with scissors, and 2-even on scissors youre too fat to work safely under neath lol

 

my car is pretty low to so dont worry u use ur oem jack that comes with the car and then us another jack once u raise it up high enouhg

 

ok, so i had a friend come over today, we got the rattle problem settled, it was both a leak and loose connection... i put on an anti-fouler to move the o2 sensor and just from the placement of the bung, i could not tighten it down fully so it came loose and therefore was my rattle and leak... now i have another problem... my o2 sensor isnt reading properly, its actually reading too low... i dont have a CEL but at the same time its reading too lean on the ratio that my n2o wont kick in... anyone have any ideas... my friend told me that TRD makes a wide band o2 sensor, anyone know anything about this?

 

Moved to Northeast for some NJ people to see...

 

hmm my brother did his full exhaust and used the anti fouler and had no problems... he used obx heads/s-pipe and Ark Cat Back Exhaust
