Default axle back available for the automatic scion! 56k warning

I am happy to say we now have axle backs for the automatic scion that has no droning at freeway speeds. I have been working on this for a few months now and finnaly got all the info needed to have it available to you.





evilsciondude has been running on the new axle back for a while so you can hear his experience by PMing him. Very deep and low, practicly quiet at freeways speeds. :D

Ho yeah! :D
So, any chance we can get to hear what it sounds like?

Evilsciondude, were you riding the stock muffler before Stylis graced you with the new autoPipes? How is it now in your opinion?

Do you feel a difference in git up and go?

Damn excited for you and can't wait to hear more...

Stylis, what are you asking for this baby?

Thanks!

From what I understand he used a larger muffler with the auto axle back. The difference between an axle back and cat back is that the axle back goes "back" from the rear "axle" while the cat back goes "back" from the catalytic converter or "cat." Are you still using a magnaflow muffler or is a different one. Figures that you make one for autos right after I get mine installed.

Hello jdavid and welcome to the boards! :D Axle back is only the back section of the exhaust system and the cat back is what it says, hooks up to the back of the cat.(Half of the exhaust system replaced)
The automatic scion is louder at freeway speeds then the manual scion. The automatic is a 4 speed tranny where as the manual is a 5 speed. so the 4 speed has higher RPMs on the freeway causing more noise then some people can handle. So I have been working on the problem for sometime now and finnaly got something for everyone. Deep sound and quiet riding on the freeway! :D So, now you don't have to worry about droning noises on the automatics and still have the ground clearance needed to lower your car.

You whiz around the corner in your xb when you come to a stop. A funeral procession has paused for a quick breather. Empathy overcomes you and you ask the man nearby. "Were you close?" After a moment, the man replies, "Brothers and sisters I have none, that man's father is my father's son."

Who is the man you're talking to?

The father of the deceased. Sorry, I've been waiting a long time to answer that question, but never felt like posting it. :D

Power is key here in my choice on exhaust. Waiting for the dealership to get my xb in, currently driving a dodge ram with 260 hp lol. Its going to be tough as *&$@ dropping to 108.

what kind of HP gain do you want, because if you want a big HP gain , you need somthing else. The axle backs only help with 2 HP gains. :D

Stylis...Would it be better to have you do the install at your shop? I think Milpitas is a long day trip from L.A.
