Hey guys. I installed my Injen CAI about 2 monthes ago (love it) and I have the factory install TRD exhaust (meh o_O). I am looking to do a full exhaust now with header work. From what I have searched on the site (I am not a car guru) an S-Pipe, I will be getting the Invinida one, with my TRD exhaust should complete my full exhaust set up? I am not too sure what else I would need for the full and complete exhaust.

The only reason why I am asking is because I want to do all of the header and exhaust work (as well as maybe NST Pulleys) in one shot. I don't have a good garage to work on my car so I a friend of mine will let me use his.

Is there anything else? Im ordering Alphaworks headers and invinida S-Pipe...I have the TRD exhaust...do I need anything else for a full exhaust set up?

Thanks Guys

yea you would be better off getting rid of the TRD set up (it will sound like butt with the header) and go get urself the Dezod NA s-pipe back exhaust.

the trd exhaust is just the axle back which leaves the stock midpipe there. so replacing the header spipe and axle back will not be a full exhaust.

granted the Dezod exhaust isnt the only cat back on the market, it is one of the most appealing. and considering you ahve the TRD exhaust im assuming you like the stockish look of it. the dezod comes with a muffler that has a stockish look. similar to the TRD but built for performance instead of sound like the TRD was.

 

cool thanks bro. I will check it out. Any other suggestions as far as performace? I dont mind the noise...too much that is. Stock looking for not

By the way...is this the one you are referring to?

http://www.dezod.com/pd_dezod_motors...el_exhaust.cfm

this is the full exhaust system you are talking about? How good is the s-pipe compared to invinda? I have heard good things about dezod but there are no gains listed on the website...anyone know?

 

yup :D thats the one im tlakin about.

that exhaust doesnt come with an s-pipe its an spipe back :D

 

Hmmm...what is the difference between the s-pipe and the s-pipe back you are referring to? Sorry for my ignorance =( i am trying to learn.

 

nah its ok.

the spipe is the pipe that connects the header to the mid pipe. the spipe back exhaust starts at the end of the spipe and replaces the mid pipe and axleback :D to get the most out of your exhaust, get the header --> spipe --> mid pipe --> and axleback (aka spipe plus spipe back exhaust)

so basically you want the invida spipe (or similar), and the Dezod exhuast (or simmilar)

some other catbacks are:

ZPI, Tsudo, Creative Compact, and err... i cant really think of any other lol. but you always have the choice to go custom also..

the only reason why i keep throwin dezod out there is because i have talked with paul and joe frequently and they are very honest guys, their customer service is 2nd to none. and their parts are top knotch. whenever i get the funds for an exhaust i have pauls number so they will be seein my Card # as soon as im ready. :D
