I'd say move the Magnaflow to somewhere after the cat, then use a baffled/chambered muffler at the end and that should tone things down. Magnaflow has the XL series and I've had it put on two vehicles now and they sound great. Very deep and rumbly sound with moderate volume and no drone.

Moderate is kind of up to interpretation. You can definitely hear the exhaust even at idle, and of course while revving out, but it's never obnoxious.

You know what...I had assumed that you were based in Chicago lololol I remember seeing a picture of you car and it saying JDM Chicago in the corner. I didnt even take the time to look at your location tag on your profile hahaha. Let me know when that event is next year and hopefully it will line up! How far of a trip is it for you down there? Its 9hrs for me

At first I was a little upset with how loud it was but now I am getting used to it. I will have to compare my loudness with Dustins car when we are up at CSP

The design of the ultra quiet isnt really the friendliest for where it sits through the exhaust tunnel. Its MM's away from a heat shield that cant be bent back. A round tubular muffler would be ideal.

>
Thanks!
Burnt copper would look SICK! I would love to see that.
Its not nearly as sluggish as the 5S but I can partly attribute that to the flywheel being 10lbs

I guess my knowledge of baffling was off!

I just looked up the XL's and their sizes and the Ultra quiets size and sadly, there isnt a size available that would be a direct pop-out-and-in repalcement.

The Vibrant is 14" long and the shortest 2.5" diameter Round style XL available is 33"
The way I set up my exhaust was that every item is sepereated by V-Band so that I could quick replace a cat or resonator with another if the one goes bad. I didnt really account for having to repalce one with a larger length item.

Even the magnaflow Muffler I have in line after the Ultra Quiet is only 24" long

I will look into a solution, but for now I can live with how loud it is.

They have the 4x9 oval that's 20" overall length, which there should be room for it's just a matter of configuration.

I'm trying to think of some canister/glasspack shaped mufflers that have baffles... Perhaps something from Flowmaster, Dynomax/Thrush, or Holley/Hooker/Flowtech would work. I recall one of them having something that'd probably be ideal but I'll have to flip through all of their catalogs here in a minute.

I guess I was imagining things, Flowmaster has a few but they're also labeled as straight-through and the same with Dynomax. I could've sworn someone had a baffled round muffler that wasn't ginormous. I'll try and look some more.

Very nice! How does EDFC fit under hood?

>

Yup!....with the hood spaced a few mm's

I am not sure how close it actually is and if it would make contact if the hood wasnt spaced

I want to touch your engine bay in private . Time for a mini meet we're not too far.

Woah there now.

Wipers good.

cut down on all that wind resistance I am getting.

Fate and I were just talking about a mini meet that we could plan for late October early November. Just need to pick a place.

finally got the last piece of the puzzle for the TEINS

it also came with a HEFTY manual. People were right when they said it wont be easy to configure


it has a place in the DIN switch panel (switches are for fans, fogs and tbd)
shadows make it looks crooked...its straight...i think



also got a coolant breather tank from Powered by Max.
I have a Mishimoto Coolant resivoir tank that it coming in tomorrow to accompany it.

I am re-wiring the birds nest I found behind the dash and minimizing the clutter

the new look of the dash.

It looks like it's time for a new shift boot.

Looks awesome! Love the centre console!

Mike, is that a 510UB headunit?!

PS: EDFC controller looks mint in that lower DIN slot.

What sort of steps do you need to take to configure the EDFC?

>
fo sho.
Ive been meaning to make something up that is just a little fabric that sits level with the base of the boot.

>
Thanks! Its gone through many variations haha

>
Maybe? I am not up to snuff on the headunit game. I just grabbed it from the audio store a few years back.

>
I will be able to give you a better idea of that once I get it all wired up and working. I took a break from looking over the manual to go to on a little trip this weekend.

Went to Chicago to attend #gridlife and watch my friends 5 year long project car built by Touge Factory compete in time attack.

Thanks, mate - it looked very similar to my 510 but I knew there was a difference!

No you didn't. -__-

Shuddup, Alex.

Less than a month until Tuner Evolution!

This will be the first big car show I will be participating in and I am very excited for the opportunity and will hopefully come out with an award.

I have also been accepted into PASMAG's Tuner Battleground competition for Tuner Evolution...which unfortunately will require me to shamelessly hunt for votes from everybody to advance, so be prepared for that. I think the overall winner will be featured at SEMA but I doubt I will get that far. I have SOME embarrassment and can only bug people for votes so much

I'll throw a vote your way, but I know what you mean though. I'm too shy to shamelessly whore myself out for votes so I never win anything like that.

The white supra that won last year was from my home city, and after Winnipeg, his car had a load of money dumped into it, I believe from his sponsors.
This could greatly benefit your build! You'll have my vote.

>
I bet alot of the people participating will probably go far beyond what I am willing to do to get votes. That may be my downfall, we will see!

All I can say is that I apologize in advance for how much I will be plugging my car haha

>

Ive thought about that, seeing as how my friend and his 350z picutured above got sponsorships from Rays Wheels Toyo tires and a couple other big names after showing his car up at Tuner Galleria in Chicago.

The one thing I dont really LOVE about sponsorships are the obligations i.e. attend 5 big shows and display sponsor decals.
I kind of like the whole no-strings attached deal I have going on.

But other than wheels and tires, there isnt much for the celica that a sponsor will be able to help me out with.
...I wouldnt mind a second set of wheel though

Unless you're getting a load of freebies the cost and expense of attending so many shows/events to satisfy the agreement can offset anything you get out of a sponsorship, that and you get into the politics of not being able to use a competing companies products. At least with musical equipment companies they just want you to make sure their gear is being seen and used and to throw on some decals on your flight cases and crap. Unless you're predominantly sponsored and are an endorser they generally don't care about using competitor's gear either so long as you do use theirs.
