okay ive been looking for a tread for like two weeks now but cant find one so i know that this is rasp qeustion # 1,000,000 but bare with me!!!!!! okay i just installed my injen cai and i think it looks and sounds great! i also have mmv headers bought and payed for so im installing them anyways. okay every tread about rasp and headers seems to go along with the trd exhaust. i have stock exhaust and no trd s/c on a 08 tc does anyone have the same set up and how does it sound/power?

 

You're going to likely end up with some rasp... but it won't be nearly as bad as it would be with an aftermarket axleback.

 

im not gonna claim to know alot about your issue because i really dont know that much except what i read in other posts.
if you have rasp and want to get rid of it get a resonator. thats what everyone else says, so hopefully that is the right advice.

 

yea i keep hearing about aftermarket axleback exausts and the trd with headers having the rasp problems but not so much for the bone stock exhaust so i was just wondering if anyone else had a 08 + with weapon r 4-2-1 and a injen intake with a stock exhaust (no trd) how it sounds.

 

I have 08 with injen intake and HAD a MMW header on it with a tsudo catback it sounded good but had little rasp. Oh I also had a resonator welded in my mid-pipe.

 

With a stock exhaust you won't have rasp unless you are on WOT

 

i have no clue the trd exhaust rasps with a header

my boy had a DC head K&N CAI and TRD axleback and his car didnt rasp at all. i have a megan header aem intake and megan oe axleback and mine raps like crazy

 

on WOT?

 

Wide Open Throttle

 

Meaning- gas pedal is mashed to the floor.

 

trd sounded like crap with my dc header and aem cai...

 

True that. That is probably the worst combo. No offense.

 

well they sent me two injen cold air intakes instead of intake and the weapon r 4 2 1 headers so i have some time before it gets shiped back out to me. thanks for all your post im defentily going to post how it came out!!! i know the 08 09 tc's sound alot different than 04 to 07 so who knows with stock exaust hopefully it wont sound t hat bad!!!!!

 

That's news to my ears. I didn't know that different years sounded different.

 

i read somewhere on here that the new tc's have a higher compresion makeing then sound alittle differnent, my friends have a 06 and a 05 and they sound alittle deeper than my 08 but now that i have installed the injen cai it sounds alot different!!!!! i cant wait for the headers though
