Yeah man get one of those Tanabe's. They look good and seem to sound good.

 

which one is better? touring sounds stock, doesnt it?

concept G sounds a little more like descendant

 

Concept G sounds like the better choice to me man. I agree the Touring doesn't seem aggressive enough to warrant dropping the money on it.

 

To me, neither of them would be my choice of exhaust. They both sound stockish and are drown out by the tc2's constant engine noise. I have a flowmaster super 44 muffler that I popped in mine for $125 and it sounds better than those. I personally like the sound of the defendant exhaust.



My opinion, if you want to stay cheap, buy a flowmaster super 44 and and put it in place of your factory muffler.

If you want to spend more, then go with the decendant. The only way you are gonna get that sound is by replacing the mid pipe. That factory midpipe is like a scilencer. But if you just cut out the midpipe and weld in a straight pipe, it sounds like complete crap.
^ speaking from experience

 

Concept G sounds pretty good.

 

both me and steve already have catbacks. I had descendant

i just sold mine cuz i needed $$$ and it was way too ____ing loud in the cabin because auto drones. If I had manual I woulda kept it

So no catbacks for mine, only axle backs from now on on this car.


what's that flowmaster? where did u get it? got any sound clips?

how much louder is it on the cabin????

and Obvi I agree with you that they arent worth $500.....no ____ing way.

 

The Flowmaster is a muffler usually used on trucks and old muscle cars and stuff, but since the TC has a quiet exhaust and it has a medium tone, I cut out my stock muffler and welded in a Flowmaster Super 44, with hope that it would amplify the sound and make it deeper. It did exactly that, but not enough to where I'd be happy with it. The tone is deep, but that stupid stock mid-pipe is like a scilencer for the exhaust.

I'll try and get a sound clip of it later, i'm pretty sure I'm the only one with a flowmaster on their TC haha

 

There is a youtube video of a 2011 with a flowmaster posted 10 months ago. You are not alone!

 

id suggest the tsudo s2 but i noticed you said no cat back.. so =X

 

crappy quality but sounds pretty intense...prolly loud as ____ in the cabin though

 

My exhaust is beyond quiet in the cabin. The only thing I would change is I wish it was louder, otherwise it's great. But the only way to get it louder would be to change the mid-pipe. I'm gonna try and contact different companies and see if they would sell just the midpipe to their exhaust.

Hey guys, one of the tC1 drivers in the Arkansas Skicotics recently had this installed, and he loves it. He also has an automatic, and replaced his umm, HKS (not sure what brand?) because the drown was driving him nuts:

As far as I know, he kept the aftermarket 2.25" pipes, and had the muffler shop cut and weild in the Dynomax.

 

i enjoyed reading your thread all day on my sick day. definitely enjoyed it scion202

 

haha i remember reading other ppl's 20+page builds and it took a while lol

with my 44 pages it must not be easy but i hope u got some useful info out of it since that's what its here for!

 

well **** good to know that HKS drones. Thanks Chris for the info
I will be looking into all of this closer in the spring....for us here in the north east hibernation is about to begin

 

Hahaha I started out looking for anybody with angel eyes on there car and ended up on your build thread loll I really like the lights you did, but for me when it comes to electrical I don't want to touch anythinggg

 

hahaha its not that bad. Chassis is ground and all othe power wires are 12V!

 

btw i do have angel eye haha I just never found a place for em

 

I tjought you had angel eyes for your done light? I'm looking for the headlights.

 

Wait, dont quote me on the HKS droning! I am not certain on which brand the dude had before, but I am certain he has an automatic. Droning seems to be a problem on all automatics with aftermarket exhausts. I posted that link so everyone here could get an idea on how to fix the drown without losing the aftermarket system.
