    Default Exhaust Sounds

    I want to hear video clips of all the catback exhausts before I buy one for my car. I found out recently that it's apparently illegal in Virginia to mess with the exhaust if there is nothing wrong with it so I at least want it to be worth it!

    The best place to go is www.youtube.com. What kind of sound are you going for?

    What I really want is the exhaust one of my homeboys had on his tC. Funny story, he got it from Zero Point Industries lol. It was a sexy Magnaflow. I'm currently looking at an A'pexi N1 to be honest. Heh, I love youtube. That's my best friend! I want sexy, loud, and deep. I want everyone to know that I'm in the area. But at the same token, I don't want to get in trouble with idiot cops. I'm definitely going for catback though. Oh yeah. And new headers are on my list.

    Oh yeah. I'm not trying to be like my idiot friend who voided her warrantee for a really crappy, overpriced axleback at 250 miles. Gee, I think there's a reason why I have 10,600 miles on my car and she's fully stock still ;]

    I have the TRD. It's not superloud, but you can be heard. I love the DEEP sound of it. No raspiness at all.

    Hmm. I'm going to have to check it out. No one I know has it and I want to check it out. At the same token though, TRD is street legal. I don't want ricey but I want a 4" exhaust tip. I just want a big one lol.

    Yeah I'm not too familiar with the TRD to be honest. I looked at the prices of TRD stuff though and it's kinda pricey =\

    Aw April seems like a random month to buy cars but that was when I got mine =] ... That car was BABIED!!!! Jeez. I'm getting aftermarket stuff. The TRD exhaust is axleback and I really don't want to spend that much money just for a quiet axleback.

    It's all in your personal opinion. The TRD is not really quiet, but it could be louder.

    You will definately need the 4-2-1 WR header. There are 2 sticky threads in this section that go in detail about exhausts. You should start there. As for your friend, an axle-back will not void any warranties or emissions.

    Oh yeah I know. My friend and I are changing everything out together once I get the parts. He worked at one of the Scion Toyota dealers and wants to play with my car. I thought that pretty much anything the aftermarket parts touched, that's what got voided? Maybe I'm just greedy and want too much too quick and wanna go all out.
