On Friday, during our company install session, we were able to take a deeper look into the entire S-pipe problem on the tC. As other companies and individuals have stated, it is one of the most restrictive pieces I have seen on the Scion tC with the exception of the heads. After bout 10-15 min of checking clearances and what could be done, a phone call was made to Scion Corp. Within 24 hours, we had a new in the box factory s-pipe sitting at our office. This pipe is currently being used to make a new performance driven S-pipe that we will make available with or without our current exhaust kits. We are expecting decent gains from this modification as well as an improvement in overall exhaust tone (Should reduce rasp). Once the test pipe is done, we will be doing some testing on the pipe as well as Scion installing our pipe on their test/demo car.

Stay Tuned for more information!!

cool i cant wait to buy one

 

you guys at CC are putting in work for us tC owners. good job!

 

james and his crew are the shiznit!

 

What him said

 

No Problem guys and girls... we are building a scion too just like everyone else on this forum and we are using our rep and our contacts to create products that you guys want and need to get what you want out of the car. Keep us bookmarked..

 

whats an S-pipe? is that the pipe near the muffler?

 

Here you go...between header and midpipe
[/url]

 

just out of curiosity why is the "s-pipe" a s pipe? was that Scion/Toyota's way of restricting the air flow? would make sense to me to just straight pipe with a kink in it to match up to the stock header flange. im thinking out loud so feel free to say shut up

 

Well I guess that diagram above finally answers everyone's questions on the torque specs for the bolts. Does anyone else see that the exhaust gaskets should not be reused, good thing to point out to those that are doing your own exhaust work (i.e. switching header).

Just outta curiousity, where'd you get it nycazn79? Any other diagrams available?

 

I second that, sign me up, building an all N/A TC.

 

Cause that would mean that the pipe would go under (instead of over the crossmember) and would become a ground clearence issue.

 

is this gonna be a direct bolt up replacement?

 

any updates CC?

 

Having some clearance issues under the oil pan we have to make adjustments for... kinda crappy design from the factory. Not sure how much temp changes from the S-pipe to the oil pan but might end up suggesting customers wrap the s-pipe around this location... Will have more info next week now it appears. Sorry for the delay.

 

no worries just getting money together for my next months purchases and wanted to know the status on it. a release date? price?

 

I'm w/ Gmoney I can wait

 

If this S-Pipe really improve performance and greatly reduces raspy sound.... I will definitely get one of these....


i want sound clips with stock exhaust...

 

Werd.. but, that diagram up there does state that the gasket shouldn't be reused... I got a funny feeling that is going to bite alot of us in the ****!

 

whys that? CC are you supplying us a gasket?
