Spec D N1 problems

Kalology — Mon, 04 May 2026 08:32:40 GMT

So I got an exhaust system on line, I'm sure yall have herd of it, it's the spec D N1 burnt tip, cheep exhaust I know, but I only need it for now while I save up for a turbo. Car is a 2007, The problem I'm having is, when I first start off from a stop in getting almost a grinding or vibration from my front right side (or middle not sure, just sounds like it's from my right when I'm driving) only happens when I get good traction when accelerating from a stop, also same thing happens when I accelerate to a stop (yes I mean accelerate, but for people who don't understand that even stopping is accelerating than when I "decelerate") it does the same thing, vibrates as if it's hitting something under my engine. Does anyone know how I can get rid of this? I already took my car to an exhaust shop and had them cut my pipe and twist it so the pipe didn't hang so low under the axle, now it is tucked up nice and tight, but it's hitting somewhere and it's ____ing me off, never happened before I installed the exhaust so I'm sure it is related. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

2006 Scion tC Manual S/C or Turbo?

Laysy — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 06:17:15 GMT

Hi there, I am a new member. I have been perusing the forum looking for ways to add a reasonable amount of power without worrying about dropping thousands on internal upgrades or a new engine after I blow one up. I just got my 2006 Scion tC manual and it has about 170,000 miles on it I bought it after it sat for a bit with a few problems for about $2800 so far with the fixing up I have to do I am just over $3000 into the project and I am ready to start looking into how to increase power at the wheels. My goal at this point in time would be to reliably hit 200+ whp before the end of the year. I looked into if I could hit that by just increasing the flow of air but it seems that the easiest and most cost-effective way (Outside of N2O) is to look at some forced injection. So my main question is should I look at turbos or superchargers for reliable power and does anyone have some good suggestions of where to shop? Thanks in advance.
