All from fast scions... what do you guys have or what would you recommend. Also have you all purchased from Fast Scions... How’s their service.

 

Fast Scions are great. I don't get anything for my tC from anywhere else. Great service. Always get your stuff shipped out same day (depending on time of order of course). But yeah, really awesome dudes. I will tell you though, don't be surprised if you can't get them to answer their phones. They are always in the shop working on cars and usually it's hard to get a hold of them. But they aren't a scam by any means. What's even cooler is that they are extremely knowledgable on all of their products. If you want to ask them questions about what exhaust you want, they will tell you the in's and out's of all three of those. Just ask them. Also, not to be rude, but your post was straight dumb. You gave us no information of what you were looking for in an exhaust system. Be more specific and we can help you. It's all personal preferrance. Youtube sound clips of all those exhaust and see what sound you like. That's about the only thing you can do. But yeah, stick with Fast Scions. They're awesome guys.

 

Love my Magnaflow.

I find it hard to justify an axle-back pipe with a tip for $350 (Greddy), or an axle-back with a muffler for $400 (Tanabe), no matter how well know the brands are. To get the full cat-back Strup for $300 with larger diameter mid-pipe included would seem to be the deal here if you are looking for the performance, sound & value. Just my .02

 

my Magnaflow was $425 on sale. Kinda expensive, but most places sell them for around $600, so I looked at it as a steal. lol It sounds soooo much better than any other xB exhaust I've heard (IMO, obviously) and it seems MUCH peppier now.

 

I've always thought it was the best design of the cat-backs (not a fan of the hanging fart can look), but I haven't been able to find it anywhere for less than $573. That makes the Strup at $300 seem like a steal.

 

Agreed. I know I got a great deal on mine. I wouldn't pay $600 for it, but the Magnaflow name and sound were worth $125 more to me.

 

i have had a my strup for almost 2 years and no issues. if you keep your header and scuba tank and can hardly tell you have a cat back at all. once you add the header and cai it really brings out the sound

 

CIONIDE... I think I will be going with the Strup setup.

r2d2michael... If I were to remove the scuba tank would my car still pass emissions? And what and where exactly is this scuba tank? How much of a sound difference am I looking at I don’t want to be annoyingly loud.

 

Dollar for dollar I think the Strup exhaust is the best value since it is high quality and is a true cat-back that includes a 2.25" mid-pipe as well as the axle-back.

If you look under the car you will see the scuba tank just before the mid-pipe. It is both a catcon and a resonator, so if you remove it you will be stupid loud unless you replace it with another large resonator/muffler. I suggest leaving it on and seeing how you like the sound of the Strup.

 

^^^ what he said lol. You will still pass emission if you replace Your stock header/cat with a aftermarket header with no cat as long as you keep you the scuba tank. I have sound clips but on mobile right now.

 

I have the Tsudo Exhaust and i love it, if i was to change it i would def the strup set up.

 

I have been looking at the tsudo for the wifes xB. Sounds decent from what I can tell just from the clips online. Plus she really digs duals.

I doubt theres really a noticeable difference in sound between an axle back, and cat back when leaving in the "catonator", right?

Also,.does any one know if bolting on an axleback can affect your factory warranty?

 

Anyone running no scuba and a traditional magnaflow or borla muffler?

 

I went ahead and ordered the Strup exhaust today from FastScions.

 

Strup exhaust got here today installing tomorrow morning I'll let you guys know how everything comes out!

 

Well I got everything installed already... sounds nice I wish it was just a little louder but never the less sounds good!

 

Do you have an intake? I'm curious to know how the strup would sound with an intake and header. I am thinking of getting an exhaust before I get a header because I don't want the header rasp ruining it.

 

Nope no intake... stock header.

 

There, fixed it for you.
