I have the TRD axelback but I wanna do header and exhaust. Id rather buy a midpipe with the resonator already in. Ill even buy an entire exhaust system like the megan if the price is right. So what are my options. Also if the megan is suggested, I have the ground effects kit and I read about some fitment issues but Im not certain about that. Is that true?

 

I would probably just go to a muffler shop and have them custom fit one. I know ZPI was working on a mid-pipe, but I really have no idea about the resonators and stuff... and if they're putting them in - maybe optionally.

 

but dont most muffler shops use crush bend as opposed to the mandrel bends on most of the 'brand name' mid-pipes.

 

ZPI's doesn't have resonators but there are two straight places in the pipe to get either two resonators or a cat and a resonator put in. I'm going with two 14" in it with no cats.

 

the new megan spipe has a built in resonator

 

I dont see how a resonator could fit in an s-pipe.

 

correction mid pipe

 

lol ok cause I was scratching my head for a minute.

 

if you think about it..2.25 inch piping mandrel bent, and 2.5 inch piping crush bent is almost equal in flow... you will get it cheaper to just have them do a mid pipe(muffler shop) and have them slap in a resonator but the problem with that is that most muffler shops use conical resonators opposed to perforated resonators which will decrease the flow and reduce performance. i highly suggest to buy the Megan Racing V3 midpipe... it will mount up directly to the stock s pipe and trd axle back, and comes with a perforated muffler, and i believe a high flow cat...not sure on the cat, but i know the resonator is there. and you can get it for about 200 bux..and install yourself

 

I can't seem to find the Megan Racing V3 midpipe anywhere, including their own website. Nor do they have resonators for the tC listed.

 

its not released to the public yet...and most likely megan wont put it up on there site.

check your local stores mid may

 

CreativeCompacts sells one premade with option to add a cat and 3 different mufflers
