The resonator that came with the eBay exhaust...




I didn't like the tip that came on it that much! Yeah yeah its a TRD replica, but never did like those tips for some reason...





I painted the can and tip with metalcast gold anodize look spray to match it with the car. Had never seen any gold exhaust...Lets see what ya think!

Looks very nice. I like the look...But it seems you got a dipple in your ___, you should of fix that first. Just a suggestion.

 

Cool. I got a dimple that needs removin too... I like ur wheels n stuff. You should get some rear spacers.

 

yeah, the rear bumper is screwed, I am oneday this or next year going to get that rumion rear bumper...I may see what that one would run to get fixed...damn recession! LOL

 

How is it for being raspy and loud?

 

not raspy or loud at all. I was very surprised. its only slightly louder than whe i had the scuba and duals... and there is a nice power increase and it made the car more driveable, less like it wanted to choke...toyota really corked up that 2.4!

 

I am thinking of getting the same exhaust. Would you recommend it and did it improve HP? Also dont want something loud...

 

I know many threads have been posted on Scuba delete. Beware, once you remove it will be LOUD!! I have strup headers. Small cat and flowmaster muffer (hushpower) in place of scuba. Then tsudo duals with trumpets. It's loud, not law breaking loud, but at 70 MPH it really wears on you.

 

Thats kind of what i did, only i got a 13" reso made up for me, and had HSK axle back...


until i got a ref ticket, now i run with stock muffler still sounds nice tho =)



o btw, save that reso list price is 800$ cuz its catted and you wont pass a ref station with out it =)

yeah it helped power WOT above 4000rpm. with stock header and s-pipe this exhaust is barely louder than stock..

 

im running the strup header and the header back cx racing 3" exhaust no cats #1 or #2(scuba tank) as its called it has the same type resonator as jdmtoybb has on his just 3" yea its a bit loud even with the baffle in with no cats but the power band is well improved no tickets for noise in 10 months so far and the faster i go the less the noise so i drive it like i stole it! and thats not easy to do in virginia

and yea i still have the stock set up in my garage from head to tale

oh and toyota inspects my vehichle no emissions tests here,try that at a local inspection place here,or even try to have a muffler shop take ur cat off aint gonna happen

 

is it possible just to get the resonator?
