a toyota engine without the precat will probably still be cleaner burning then 90% of the other cars on the road

 

agreed. i'll throw my stock exhaust back on for inspection or just pay for a sticker. damn tree hugging hippies

 

hey all. I'm just waiting on some details from Strup. I'll post the answers to your questions soon!

 

ok, some preliminary info to post back:

Headers - supposed to be a 4-2-1 design! Like the xA/xB header, they'll be high polished stainless steel, same great quality and construction! Gains should be very respectable for a header - certainly comparable or better than what's out there now. I won't have any dyno numbers until we can get our hands on a set and see what's up.

Exhaust - since you all asked, YES, it will be a cat-back exhaust! Same build details as above - high-polished SS with outstanding fit and finish.

We'll keep you all informed as to an ETA and I'll post pics as soon as I have them. I might be able to get my hands on some preliminary pics or comparable design pics to give you an idea...

Thanks!

 

sounds good! anxious for pics.

 

Keep me updated Dave. I have dyno time any time you need numbers.

 

thanx Boxman. will do.

Header should look very similar to this, as long as it does turn out to be a 4-2-1 design. This is NOT the actual header. This is just to give you an idea.

 

bump-ity bump bump Any new INFO?

 

ETA looks like mid september if not sooner. Will keep you all updated as soon as I hear anything new from Charlie at Strup.

Thanks for the support all!

 

about the exhaust, will it be canister style, similar to the hks and injen or will it be like the magna flow?

 

Ooh, I'll definitely be watching for updates

 

so mid sept. or earlier eh.. koo koo

 

I am definitely in close contact with Charlie at Strup about these pieces. no doubt you will know as soon as I do!

teksno - As for the exhaust design, it'll be similar to the Greddy exhaust design.

like dis:

 

The exhaust will be first out...header second very close behind.

 

Just let me know guys I am so waiting to show what a Great not just good header will do on this car!

 

so there WILL be a resonator/midpipe behind between the cat and the axel back exhaust? This will definitely help with the raspy sound of the headers right???

Can't WAIT!

 

bumpidy bump. updates?

 

Header? BUMP

 

if Strup is making a complete header/exhaust combo.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tune it so that it isn't raspy!

 

Hey all,

Thank you for your patience. Believe me, if you're interested, it'll be worth the wait!

I just talked with Charlie over at Strup.

tC EXHAUST

The exhaust will be first part available, but won't be ready until early October - just some minor production delays. Also, I may have mislead you to believe that this will be a complete exhaust system. It is not. This will be an axle back exhaust only, similar to the xB exhaust we sell now. the pic I posted above was strictly reference to the muffler design... sorry 'bout that. He did talk about efforts in design to try to eliminate the raspy sound too. Will let you all know as things progress.

tC HEADER

My appologies again for a misunderstanding in the design of the header. This will be a 4-1 header design, NOT a 4-2-1 design. Charlie said this will be more of a race-bred design - going for optimal performance, but still primarily set up for street use. He said that this header will be taking longer to finish in production though. I don't have an availability date on this yet. Will do my best to keep you all informed.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding. We appreciate it!
