Unwaking a Dormant Beast (Stage 1 - trd exhaust)

by **TxBmbleBee** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 6:49 pm

damn sorry for not resizing these o well

Well here is what I did today, no job yet so I had all the time in the world

Cleaned this exhaust up with steel wool and little 400 sandpaper
Then I chrome polished it and cleaned it again with windex

TRD!!!

My car all jacked up

Apparently toyota welds the exhaust bolts together....crap!

My solution...buy some bolts

As it sits on my car now

I could not completely get this gap to close...did anyone else have this same problem???

My car has waited quite some time for this...ill keep yall updated

My impressions on the exhaust. Holy cow it sounds great compared to stock. Right when I start the car up it makes me smile. This may sound wierd and im not sure if it is psychological, but the car feels faster. It also looks good too!

Very nice, I had to torch my bolts out of the OEM flange. Then is rusted out so bad I had to weld a new one over in. I think the flange is the only non stainless part. But the rest of the muffler still looks great.
BTW the pics fit fine on my 24 inch LCD.

how many miles on on the sc, if its got more than 50,000 you should get it rebuilt befor you install it, costs about $700 but its worth it, im having mine done as we speak, had about 62,000 on it, and the solara i just bought from andy its going to be rebuilt as well, dont know the history so better safe than sorry, :drinking:
