Default Raceland tC exhaust



http://www.racelandus.com/p-70-racel...-tc-05-08.aspx

Technical Specifications:
The Raceland cat-back exhaust system for the Scion tC 2005 to 2008 features a 114mm diameter tip and removable silencer.
This system is made from the highest quality Stainless Steel, TIG welded and Mandrel bent. Mandrel bent means the tubing is laid inside the metal mold before it is shaped to its size. With mandrel bending there is hardly any distortion. Normally, when a tube is bent, it becomes smaller in the bent area. With mandrel bending the inner tube dimension stays the same to get maximum strength, stability and performance.

Damn...for $163 thats a steal....I don't think I could get an axel back or a mid pipe for that! What do you guys think? Sounds like an excellent deal! If I didn't have an exhaust already....

I just want to know what it sounds like without the header. But yeah for $163 you can't beat it (if it sounds good).

I got the BBP (exactly like Tsudo) for my Civic off eBay. Full stainless, fitment is right on, and all the welds are nice. Here are some pics. It's about 125 on eBay for the tC.

Are you sure the midpipe is on the right way? That was the problem with mine. the hangers are supposed to be on the bottom. But other than that it's fine, the only error I had with it was the hanger right before the LCA and it needs some adjustment cuz it sits to the left instead of centered.

Wish the person who Raceland decided was a good person to give free parts would chime in with a review. Seems like the kid got his parts and ran off?

If Raceland wants to sell these items they need to get their name out. Best way to do so would be with people actually talking about them *cough* wheres our damn review kid *cough*

Doesn't say if it's with or without the header. And if it's the same car in the other vid, it has the header.

If you can, try and get a sound clip of the exhaust before installing the header.

Was it only the axleback part that didn't align properly? If it was you could have kept the piping and have a shop mess make or fix a new one.

I think you went a little to cheap with the eBay exhaust then.
