I got a borla xr-1 muffler, not any cheapo crap muffler... I'm pretty frustrated w it

Ehehe
Oh yeah! I having the same problem....

I waiting the arrive of not one but TWO resonators...
I choose this ones:




I hope this low down the rasp and volume.

#123

hmm... Where did you get that from? does anyone know any GOOD brands of resonators?? I was going to get one off of summitracing.com but if there is a GOOD brand? I thought borla was supposed to be good but now I'm thinking about replacing my muffler too

Borla is supposed to be decent. But if your not running a resonator its going to sound like ass. When I was getting quotes around here one guy said that I didnt need one, strongly recomended that I didnt have to get one. I left and went somewhere else. Found a good place, The guy knows exactly what I want and recommends a resonator. I figure hes pretty good, there is a PT club here tht takes their exhaust stuff to him. Seems honest too, unlike the other one (told me he could have it up and running in 1/2 hour max....dont know if i trust my stuff to be done that quick.)

Yeah, I just bought 2 of the same resonators that were posted above. I went through a few forums and it was recommended that 2 would sound best. So I'm going to get those thrown on ASAP and hope for a significant change. and you're right ^ it does sound like a$$

VERY nice choice. I love Aero mufflers/resonators.

From here: www.aeroexhaust.com/



Now my doubt is ...

Whats is the correct way to install 2 resonators ??
One near other? ...leave some good space between ?

I found another site that sells um for cheaper and w free shipping. and I Imagine I'll leave space but I'll let my exhaust guy do his thing I'm sure he knows what would be best

Thinking of getting a 3" piping, magnaflow hi-flow cat, vibrant 18" super quiet resonator, and probably magnaflow muffler....think this will be a good setup for the 3s-gte?

Sounds perfect, that's very similar to the exact setup that I run on all of my 3S Celicas, and they sound AWESOME.

1 hour work...
And result is!!!....:
THIS WAS NIGHT TO DAY CHANGE.....
Perfect deep bass sound.. Looks very like OEM Sound in low RPM.
But you get in 3.5K RPM...You can hear a deep cool bass sound..

^Diddo!!! I just got mine done yesterday and OMG complete difference.. I can hear myself think in my car once again! I can actually think in my car once again!! And highway drives are torturous anymore! But has a great deep bass sound still! My car doesn't sound like a cheapo ricer anymore ha!

BTW how much did it cost you to get them welded on to your exhaust??

Just wondering if anyone can help me out... I just dropped headers into my 5sf but I had to take my cat out... Is there any way that my cat can bolt back on while my headers stay in? My car sounds a little riced right now. Or should I just scoop an Apexi N1 universal muffler and run some 2.5" piping and leave the cat out?

bccentaur3

#136

Since you have a 5s the cat is pieced together with the factory manifold. And the header you bought obviously comes without. If all youve got is a header and factory exhaust I really can't imagine how the exhaust can sound rice. If you add a muffler and piping with no res and cat your going to sound even riceier. Now I am running a 3" DP 3" exhaust all the way back and its pretty loud, but I have that loud grumble. Lets say I were to add a resonator the car would sound amazing.

i have also heard that the ebay header with stock exhaust will sound a bit ricey...
a couple quick questions for you guys,
do all 6gc's with the 5sfe have 2 cats, or just the cali-spec ones?
does the surewin (ebay) header for the 5sfe replace both cats or just one?

BonzaiCelica

#138

only california 6gc's have 2 cat converters. The main converter is located right inside of the headers. and 2nd cat converter is under the car obviously

#139

all celi's have 2 cats. at least mine did i'm on obviously not from cali. One in the header and one on the exhaust, and the ebay header removes the first cat since you are removing the stock manifold. And yeah with a stock exhaust it does sound a lil ricey..

I don't see why it would sound ricey, it might be slightly louder because you've removed a cat but that's about it.

All 5S-FE's have two cats, and the Surewin (as well as all Ebay headers) remove the first primary cat.

Elastikman - Any sound clips? I'd love to hear it.

Just wondering how this sounds to you guys..... Went to a local 'exhaust center' as they call it and the guy priced me at around $350 not including muffler for 2.5" piping, "high-flow" performance cat and a resonator... I noticed in the first post you mentioned paying a little over $100 for your set up on your supra, I'm trying to figure out why mine will cost 350 lol

bseaman_5

#142

resonators aren't all too cheap but I got my exhaust done for 110. But I bought a muffler before i went to get it done and that wasn't very cheap either.. Idk, maybe its just me but that seems kind of high, maybe I'm just lucky to have an inexpensive exhaust specialist near me..

I got a quote for a 3" mandrel bent stainless steel straight piping (cat to muffler) and the guy quoted me almost $500cdn...

I know mandrel bent ss stuff is top notch, but dayam... thats pricey.

that is just ridiculous! mine was mandrel bent. and my exhaust was from the header back, 110

I feel like I'm not contributing at all to this thread but I'm sorry, I just wanna make sure I make the right choice haha... But anyways, went to another shop and I think I might go with this one, priced me at $90 for 'pipework', $150 for the flowmaster cat converter, and $50 for a resonator... $290 total so you don't have to bust out the TI83.... Still feels like I'm getting ripped off but oh well...

#146

Any one with sound clips? I'm looking at a setup with an ebay header, then probably 2 or 2.5" piping thru 1 or 2 resonators to no muffler. I have experience with v8's using a resonator and no muffler and getting great results, but not sure how it would sound to have just the cat, resonator, and straight back.

there is a sound clip of mine but i have a st with the stock exhaust and a muffler sounds decent to me, but i wanna re-do it

Does this one belong to anyone here?

It sounds so good! Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for if I go with a muffler, and I'm definitely going to use the 350Z/G35 resonator (especially since my buddy might be doing exhaust on his G35 soon, free parts for me )

I'm a ricer so I got my muffler welding on to stock piping.

Not wasting money on a exhaust system that won't help much haha.

The whole thing will come when the 3sgte is bought.

I don't know why I haven't posted this up yet...


This was the exhaust system I had installed on the Yelli Celi. 2.5" under-axle to a Vibrant Performance muffler. Sounded great, but that might have been the 20V.
