Just wanted to let you all know that my sponsor Draxas has just completed the design of their full cat back exhaust system. All parts are made of highly polished high quality T 304 Stainless steel. The main pipe sections are 2.5" all the way from front to back. Here you can see what it looks like mounted on my tC. So far my SoCal tC Club members that have seen it and heard it say that its all good. We haven't had a chance to do the dyno yet to get results for HP & TQ gains but will be doing that soon. Draxas is taking preorders at this time and has more information on their site:

Post any questions you may have here and I will respond to them asap.

 

looks good but they should put an oval tip like the stock one the big round one doesnt look that great

 

Forwarded your comment on to them. I have made a similar comment in relation to the tip so we will see what they come up with before shipping out any orders.

 

 

Wow, you really don't get much muffler for $650, huh?
Looks nice, we'll see what the HP gains are, it just looks so tiny!

I just read "Included in the kit is a high flow OBD and EPA certified High Flow Catalytic converter"
So this kit is street legal?

 

^ looks like it unless the resonator they took off is a part of what makes it street legal witch i think it isnt since it just controlls the volume

 

<waiting for the dyno>

 

To answer some questions:

This kit is street legal in the states that do not follow the strict guidelines of CARB. The stock second cat would need to be left alone in CARB states for it to be legal.

Dyno should be performed early next week. We performed one dyno already , but the donor car had run over debris on the highway that SEVERELY crushed the stock S-Pipe (Downpipe) between the manifold and our exhaust. A new S-Pipe has been ordered and will be installed today.

The rear muffler is relatively small, but that is a good thing. Saves on weight. The muffler design we have manufactured does a great job keeping sound down but flow up.

We will have to get some video of the kit on Phillips car.


If you have any other questions, feel free to post them here.

Thanks!

some video would definatly be helpful

 

Oh, don;t get me wrong, I like the lighter muffler...it just looks funny in that big cutout for the stock one!

 

MrMeaty,

Yeah, the stock muffler is HUGE... Phillip was glad to get that thing off his car. ;)

We were going to replace the damaged S-Pipe, but Phillip emailed and let me know the S-Pipes are on back order until March 21st. So, we are either going to borrow an S-Pipe from another Scion tC owner, or we will re-install the stock exhaust system.

If we re-install the stock exhaust system, then we can compare both the stock exhaust and our exhaust with the damaged S-Pipe. Right now, the dyno with our exhaust on it is of course skewed due to the damaged S-Pipe. The damages S-Pipe isnt letting our exhaust work to its potential.

 

gotta love polishes stainless! nice nice

 

Phillip took a short 15 second video of our exhaust on his car:

It sounds pretty good over the internet...better in person though. The movie file doesnt quite get all of the "deep" sound that is there.

thatt sounds disgusting!!!!!

 

unless the sound was distorted extremely, i dont like how it sounds at all.

Sounds pretty decent to me but that may be because I had my sub turned up all the way.

 

I'm gonna agree with aarontrini85, they need to change teh tip. And yeah it's sounds so riced just liek a civic. I'd prefer teh TRD one it sounds lil bit like a muscle car.

 

I want to see before (stock) and after dynos to do a comparisson and find out wich one is best. I specifically would like to see how the car performs in the 1500-4500 RPM range compared to stock.

 

nah though... my sub on my computer is pretty good, and the exhaust sounds real good.
good work on that exhaust.
