Sound clips when done =

 

Be advised...we are unable to provide sound clips on a stock exhaust!!! We are making the S-pipe to go with exhaust kits... Our company car as well as all our test cars are running our full exhaust kit, so we have no means of getting a sound clip on a stock setup

I am sorry to have to ask this dumb question but were in that diagram is the cat? I want to put a header AND get rid of the cat..

 

The cat is on the header, so if you replace your header with the DC Sports or Alphawerks header you will eliminate the cat.

There is a 2nd cat (resonator) on the midpipe that you could get rid of but it isn't recommended since there are reports it sounds like ___.

 

Incorrect....

Your stock exhaust has the following

PreCat - Located on your Exhaust manifold aka Header
S-pipe
Second Cat (This is your MAIN CAT)
Resonator
Muffler


Thanks
James

 

Just a couple questions, wouldn't the main cat have all the sensors instead of the precat. Where's the resonator if the 2nd cat isn't it?

Nevermind, I found out the 1st smaller canister on the mid-pipe is the cat and the 2nd larger canister on the mid-pipe is the resonator. Still doesn't explain why if it's the main cat, why it doesn't have any sensors. The OBDII doesn't even know it's there.

 

You will see the first cat on the header... then you will see the cat on the midpipe and the resonator is just behind it..

 

A little more info:
The second one is just for the ULEV spec.

 

Im knew at the whole customizing thing, so my question is, what exactly is the s pipe that CC is working on, will the s pips just replace whatever is before the axle back?I alreadu have the trd axle back just want to know what i will need to buy or get rid of. sry if it sound like a dumb question guys, bear with me.

 

If you look at the pic above, the s-pipe is listed as the "Exhaust Pipe Assy Front" and it looks like an S. This pipe is probably the most restrictive part of the exhaust system.

 

Im no mechanic, how hard would it be to put on DC headers, and a new S pipe(If and when available), and an injen exhaust?

 

The headers will be a little irritating for a first-timer, but the S-Pipe and exhaust shouldn't take very long or be too difficult at all. Personally I would go with HKS however.

 

Thanks for the info... but can you be more specific. HKS headers? How much cause i can DC sports for 240$. What about intake? I want an Injen, but i cant find if they make one... Im looking at an injen exhuast ? good bad any thoughts?

 

I was actually referring to the HKS exhaust, since it seems to be the only good header/exhaust combination with what headers are currently available for purchase. For an intake, the two big runners are K&N and Weapon R. I personally like the K&N quite a bit. It really all comes down to personal preference. I wish I would have chosen differently as far as headers are concerned, but cest le vie.

 

Giravani means the HKS axle-back exhaust, not header. Currently Injen does not make an intake specifically for the tC but the short ram Injen from the 2.4L Camry works. Either go DC Sports or if you can afford it, Alphawerks for your header.

 

Two questions that I am interested in for the S-pipe...

1. What are you going to do about the compression spring? You have to keep flex in the pipe which is what those springs are for correct...
2. What diameter are you going to make the s-pipe?

 

*bump*

Any new info? (marks another week off the calendar)
