Well, What up?

Anyways! I've been flipping in and out of getting a new exhaust for my ride. There's so many popping up... and then the price tags... I don't know what to do!
For me, the sound it makes is more important than the performance.

So, my question and dilemma is, are there alternative/cheaper ways to make my ride sound a bit better? I'd like it to sound more like Descendants exhaust system, but without a 400+ price-tag.
Can I just swap a muffler or something.. or is that basically what all these exhaust systems are?
lol. Thanks =]

 

Yup, axle-back. Trd, Injen, Custom, Magnaflow are the ones off the top of my head.

 

Well, yesh, I know they exist alongside descendant.. but id like a cheaper option.

 

just take the muffler off!!! lol some guys around here have done that. and its free.

 

But does it sound good?! Smooth... clean... deep... powerful?

 

im sure there are some loud universal mufflers around

 

i ordered the hks axleback...I decided to be the tester so i bought it since nobody has done a review or video. Ill have it on by fri and ill do a video and review and let u know whats up!

 

Great! I was going to purchase that next week if I couldn't convince myself of anything else!
Please do a drive-by as well as a start-up and rev.
Thank you so much!

 

will do!

 

^ cool. It looks nice to + 8db's louder

 

i was going to order descendants, but i decided to save $125 and order the hks and then used the 125 i saved and ordered the trd springs for the car

 

imo. none of the above lol.. hks exhaust would be nice. sounds just like stock. but slightly louder. enough to where you can tell the difference.

 

I think a lot of folks are going to be sads about exhaust on this car. The high compression Scion did with the 2.5 really makes these things sound like a Honda imho.

Also, just as a curious question, is there any reason to go with a 3" diameter on a N/A setup? (ofc is this is a thread-jack feel free to ignore me)

 

This

 

^ Nope. NA doesn't have enough flow to warrant the bigger pipe. Actually, 3" will probably reduce performance because it won't give enough back pressure.

 

The cheapest way of making your ride louder is to loosen the two bolts that hold your axle-back to the exhaust system. Take those bolts out and put washers in-between the two flanges and bolt it back together again. If it is not loud enough, add more washers to make the gap larger (between the axle-back muffler and the exhaust pipe). When you need to get it inspected, take the washers out. It is reversible, adjustable and very redneck…if the shoe fits, ware it!

 

ha. wow. no. lol.

 

Hey guys,
Here is a link to the HKS exhaust! : If you stop it at 1:43 you can see the way the exhaust sits from behind the car. Hope that helps!

 

Quick picks...Tomorrow i will be installing and i will post up a video for you guys. Overall the exhaust looks great, i will try and take pics of the stock and hks side by side tomorrow! It does come with exhaust hangers just in case anybody wanted to know!

 

Shiny!
