Thought that I'd put together another compilation of good threads for people here in PH.

What I'm looking for are comparisons of performance parts. Preferably with DYNOs to back them up. So far, we have the GSC Header and Axleback tests (thanks guys :bow: ). I want more. Does anyone know of any Intake roundup? Or full exhaust? Help me out here...

So I'll update this as you guys post some good info. Point me to some threads. Even if it's just dyno's of 2 items. Something that will compare available products. I want to have a good thread here for people to use for researching.

I PM'd GSC about doing a full header-back exhaust comparison between the 3 companies that offer them (CC, ZPI & Draxas). Hoping they will :pray:

10-25-2005, 03:51 PM
Ya... that would be good. With s-pipe and all. And we also need to get some intake numbers up there.

If they are going to do full exhausts they should include the Megan

jmiller20874
10-25-2005, 10:01 PM
I didn't specify the Megan Racing Full exhaust because they don't have an S-pipe and for an exhaust (header-back), I'd like a one vendor solution and currently only the 3 listed above provide that.

Now if the test were performed using the MMW header (wink-wink), the S-Pipe would be included and then the test field could be broaden. But I'd imagine if they decided to do the test, it would be with the Alphawerks or stock header.

ack154
10-25-2005, 10:01 PM
Well it would be nice to see ANY numbers... even with the two sets they did, I don't think they included all of the options - especially with the exhaust... you'd think TRD would be right on there at least. But that's OK. Like I said, we'll appreciate ANY testing people can do and post numbers.

Um, Megan does have an s-pipe.

Great idea about putting a dyno based thread together.
Here is my thread link....in summary 156hp/160torq.
AW header, CC s-pipe and TRD (many have it) exhaust..
this link has a pic of my dyno as well......

Updated with 400amonth's info. Split it all into two sections. If you have some good dyno runs and have posted the info (with pics/scan of the run), let me know what you have and give me a link.

Stock 2007 Spec tC with 1070 miles on a Mustang Dyno MD-1100 with 4th gear pulls. I gotta work on the vids on editing them, or I can compress them into a zip or something and upload them if there's any interest. I know there's gonna be questions on why there's no RPMs for the reading on the bottom but there's Time-Answer: :doh: overlooked it. But I'll remember that for when I go back to see the difference the Agency Power catback makes, that'll be the only power mod for the car for a while. There's no fan to provide a fresh air source so thats one reason for the decrease in power.

1st run(shown-Run 1) 142HP and 148TQ(Have a clip birds eye view)
2nd run(not shown) was an error, saying 300 plus(I have a clip of this but the numbers blurry focused on the screen)
3rd run(shown-Run 2) 141HP and 144TQ(also have a clip focused on the screen)
4th run(not shown, did a A/F reading which they said was rich in the 12s)

Don't forget the Injen SES line of exhausts. Injen SES Cat-Back Exhaust (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Injen-Cat-Back-Exhaust-System-Scion-TC-05-06-07-SES2110_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33630QQihZ018QQitemZ280140647078QQtcZphoto). Does anyone have hp figures for the SES and/or the dyno figures for the SES exhaust with Injen CAI?

Would love to see a TRD S/C w/ stock pulley, alphawerks headers, megan s pipe/mid pipe and trd axle back :P . Would like to see ~200whp with this setup if I go thru with it.

ok... so heres my question, I have a fujita cold air and am going to spend the winter stocking up on parts to be put on in the spring. I already have a Brothers pulley being sent {made for zpi before they went bust} and I am prety much set on the Greddy Ti-C exhaust, but after looking at the dyno results other then the 1hp up .. can anyone give me a reason to get the MMW header over the megan racing one. I know the notes said it was a slightly rougher fit but damn.. thats a dremmel fix. ANY ONE with either one of those please sound off.... I have till April to pick up {header, exhaust, springs, camber kit, and sway bars} .... thanks

mengsta
11-15-2007, 04:15 PM
Audio as in the exhaust? everyexhaust part changes the exhaust note. if u just want a roar. just stick to an axleback. Get a Greddy EVO2 or something.

hey watsup guys, my names alex 19 in the air force, i just bought a scion about a month ago i have pictures of it on my page. i don't really know too much about cars so i really need some help, all mine has done to it is cold air intake and exhaust system, i really wanna make this car faster, everybody at my shop says the tC stands for too cute or testicular cancer lol i tell them it stands for turbo charged...but anyway i kinda want some advice on where to start first and what parts to purchase to get it going...anything is appreciated, thank you guys
