I ordered mine through TRD Sparks on April 20th...just got here yesterday!





The welds are beautiful, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations. Sounds great...almost Subaru-ish .

I like the look of that "arseee"


The car has two sub-mufflers that make it sound subaru-ish... But it looks good.

hey im sorry to sound retarded but i just have a couple questions... for the descendant exhaust does it include the down pipe so it connects straight from the headers and all the way down? what about for other exhausts?
last one is what size is the stock piping? how will this connect with the descendant exhaust?
thanks guys

Install wasn't bad at all. I jacked up the front and stuck two 2x4's under the tire and lowered down (same for the rear). Gave me enough room to slide under and get all the work done.

I couldn't undo the bolts holding the axle back section. I ended up removing the bolts in the flange up by the cat and slipped the rubber hangers off the pipe. The entire exhaust came off in one piece!

Leave the rubber hangers attached to the car, that way they are where you need them. One will be relocated to a new spot.

Heat shield is hella sharp! Sporting some war wounds form that thing!

to embed a video just do the same thing you do for pictures byt replace IMG with URL

so the format will be:

[url]link[/.url]

Sup fellas. Just got a new tc a few days ago and i really like this exhaust but Im completely clueless about aftermarket parts.

I live in cali.. Does anyone know the decibel # of this?i heard the limit in cali was 95db and I dont want to get pulled over for a loud exhaust, is there anything i can show an
officer that this meets the requirement for sound?

Also, does installing the exhaust involve messing with the catalytic converter, it would be great if i can install it n the state wouldnt whine about me modifying the cats. Again i dont even know the law for these things..

I also am clueless with the warranties.. Would i void anything with my warranty if this is installed.

This site is sweet lookin to stick around for a while

Stock is 82dB
I cant see this one being any louder than 90.
You're not gonna get pulled over unless you're revving 6000RPMS directly in front of a cop.
It's after the converter
Voids warranty only if found the cause of a problem

The exhaust is loud when you get on it, but I don't think you'll get hassled by any cops. Not quite that loud.

The exhaust is badass though. Very very pleased with this purchase. Where are Yall getting the parts to change out the hangers? There's a lot of moving and I'm worried about it getting too close to bumper when its hot

^I've been running stock rubber hangers since December and no issues. If it's too close, its not installed correctly.

Mine takes a bit of a thrashing and still hasn't contacted the bumper. I wouldn't be concerned.

Exhaust Hangers from Obnoxious Performance aren't expensive, if you're concerned about it.

I ordered mine a month ago but they're not here yet!

There are no functionality issues or anything with stock rubber hangers however it does shake a lot and friends tell me it looks ghetto when they're behind me. It DOES move around which is why I think it's best to replace them ;)
