WTB: Exhaust for 99 solara!!!

[xh0rnsb0yx]

hey can someone describe to me the gains of the trd exhaust system?

thats the only one i can think of that might be worth getting

[DatSRBoi]

Not much. It just louder then stock and makes the muscle cars think your wierd if thats all you have. Dont expect to run any faster with them is all Im saying.

[xh0rnsb0yx]

ehhh...lame..so i guess i should focus on something like HKS or something? Maybe even custom

[facevedo17]

Go with Dats stright Y pipe and ur exhaust then ur talking about a kick in performance in the exhaust end ..add ur sri tuned it with the apexi safc controller and u should feel those gains

apexi safc controller?

apexi safc controller?

Since Im in the typing mood today... Ill keep it perverted and mean free.


Think of a car as a long tube pipe with valves in it all open to flow water from the top tank to the bottom tank. All three valves are only open 10%.... Thats stock for our car. The water will never flow any faster then that. Lets say you open up one valve... Waster flows alittle uneven no changes.. Thats like putting a catback exhaust on your car...... Cant expect power gains if the other two valvse are still stock.... So you add intake... Flows alittle better but still not fast. Then comes the header/Y pipe.. Thats all 3 valves now open up for full power. Finanlly now youll see performance since theres no restriction...


But.....

Its flowing unevenly with occasion air pockets... This is when the apexi A/F controller comes in. Think of it as putting fins into the pipe. The controller helps manage the flow of the power and evens it out. Put it all together.... You got a full Tuned exhaust system....



Hahah I know its corny. Im bored.

that actually sounded pretty good, awesome awesome analogy

[xh0rnsb0yx]

woooooooooooo

i finally have an new exhaust...i went with a place called AAA mufflers and i think they did i really good job....im getting a camera tomorrow so ill take some pics and find a way to put em up here....

Anyways its actually a magnaflow tip and muffler and custom pipe which connects to the...resonator im guessing...yeah im really excited...it sounds awesome with my intake

also will that apex thing work on custom?

[DatSRBoi]

It will work on anything including stock.

^^^ Now DaTs, still on the subject of the apexi.....If i hooked that up on my car (1mz-Fe 5-spd with SRI+CAE) will i see much of a difference in power? And do i tune it myself or am I OBLIGATED to have a pro do it? Any feedback appreciated.......... P.S. congrats on exhaust i am looking forward to hearing that thing

[xh0rnsb0yx]

thanks man..i took some pics of it tonight so im going to try and put them on here in a sec..

You cant tune it yourself without a wideband 02 which will cost you an anohter 300 bucks at least. If you take it to any dyno shop they can do it for you. You wont see much gains, But you will balance your performances better with it.
