Hey Guys...

I currently have a K&N CAI... I was looking into getting the Greddy SP2 exhaust for my tc.

Now, i may get a header sometime down the road, but I'm curious about sound. Is it possible to have a "sleeper" with a i/h/e ? From what i've searched and researched, the sp2 is one of the quietist exhausts... I'm just wondering if a header would ruin that..

Thanks in advance!! If somebody has posted similar to this already feel free to link me and lock this.

 

This is like the eternal question.... Far as I've seen, none of the exhausts are sleeper enough for me with a I/H combo...

I'm trying to "Encourage" companies to develop a highflow sleeper option, but no-one has jumped on it yet...

It'll sell like hotcakes if they can make a deep sounding exhaust setup with AM I/H's and not sounding like angry elves on a rampage!

At least I'll buy one.

 

that makes two of us...!


I've used the search on here alot.. and it seems like alpha werks is raspy, DC sports rust, and megans are junk.

what is a tc'er to do ???

I say buy a burned out megan header for $75 and not care. LOL

 

wat about the monster motor werks one? gains look good. and it doesn't throw CEL.

 

Yeah but that monster motororks one costs an arm and a leg.

 

But is not much more than an s pipe and header at MSRP. At actual retail price it'll be about the same give or take a few as a ZPI or CC s pipe and Alphawerks header.

 

Does the monster motor works header not need an S-pipe??


TIA !

 

comes with it, which is why I want it

 

MMW header spipe combo dont throw a cell because they already put the bung farther away from the flow through the pipe.

draxas has a full spipe AND back (meening it comes with an spipe), and they are developing a 4-1 header. I will have their exhaust within the next month hopefully, and review it. same thing goes with their header once it is released.

 

So the million dollar question is....

how does the MMW header sound with an intake and exhaust??

Can anybody comment??

 

Motorsport_TC has/had(if he sold it already) MMW header with TRD exhaust. He said it sounded pretty good.

 

BTW, this guy is selling his MMW https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...asc&highlight=

 

I have a stock Tc and i just started modding it. It has less than 1000 miles and I threw a DC sports header on. Nasty rasp!!! Can someone recommend what I can do to get it back to sounding stock? I noticed that in the bottom of the stock exhaust manifold there was a sort of catalytic converter mesh in there.... Is that why it got so damn loud? Should I get a resonator? Is there a way for me to add exhaust upgrades and keep it quiet? Please help

 

The catalitic converter on the stock header eliminates all that rasp from just a header alone, the reason why those headers give a nice amount of HP is mostly because of increase flow from taking off the catalitic converter. I had my stock header on and stock piping, I went and took out the resonator and put on a flowmaster and I had nasty very bad rasp during the first 10 minutes of driving, the rasp when away but didnt sound nice at all. I installed the resonator back on and voila! it sounds nice and quiet with a nice growl.


Another guy on these forums put on the alphawerks header and put on 2 MORE resonators and still had nasty rasp! Is the awful exhaust tone worth 8 hp?

 

Well is there anyone out there that has a header installed without rasp? Do I maybe need to put a new donut gasket in? I figured I didn't cause the car is still brand new. I did replace the header gasket... I just wanna keep the header with the HP gain, but want to keep it quiet... Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm desperate.

 

update, my draxas exhaust is shipping today (with out the spipe, its on back order), pics and sounds clips coming soon!

 

nychange...

i've heard that the DC header will decrease rasp as it breaks in... give it 500-750 miles and i bet you lose your rasp w/ stock exhaust

well I put 500 on it so far and still got the rasp. I figured it might be cause the piping get crimped at the stock resonator and goes down from a 2.25 inch to 2 inch. So I ordered an axleback, and I'm gonna put in two stainless straight through 2.25 resonators. Hopefully that'll help. Also I'm sure everyone can see I'm a noob, does an intake chang your exhaust note? Or does it just add noise from under the hood? Just ordered a typhoon....
