| Hey Chris, I'm sure it's somewhere on your thread, but I'm lazy and figured I'd ask instead. How big is the outlet on your muffler? | |

| OK, I just measured it.
The current HKS is just over 4.5" diameter.
I've got a Greddy waiting to replace it, it's just under 4.25" | |

I am changing it for the look and sound, I don't expect any performance increase. - SHEHROZE ARAIN wrote:

| Sounds good, not as loud in the back end as I was expecting though. Is that why you're changing it up? | |

| Thanks all, this exhaust is now in the attic LOL!
Aaron, it sure it quiet. But trust me, way louder than stock lol. Lexus likes to be quiet for sure! Not me though. It was just enough to hear it, but like I said somewhere, it's quieter than my brother's G35. I don't really want it louder... it's just TOO smooth for me! Borrrrring lol. I am replacing it because I got the discontinued exhaust I always wanted.
Kenny, yeah it sounds too smooth IMO, darn straight 6 haha. Oh well.
Ishaq, my Corolla was raspy alright, but I learned my lesson. You have to know which part contributes what to the sound.
The new exhaust is on and sounds good... it is the same volume, though a tad LESS bassy, though MORE awesome sounding lol. Video shortly. | |

| WOW!!! I think you blew my computer speakers lol haha kidding. First, very nice work on putting the vid together and recording it from different locations. Im not sure which angle sounds better, the SRI is just suckin in that air but on the drivers side recording, you almost sounded like a Ferrari.
and looking forward to hearing your new discontinued exhaust vid too, but you should add how it sounds from the inside too. | |

| lol, it wasn't that loud on my computer, but the sound quality is pretty good actually Probably one of the best exhaust vids I've ever seen lol. The idea of the driver's side was to get a feel for how it sounds inside, though I don't think it really came out that way. I think you can imagine what it sounds like inside. Originally, I just had the side video thinking that would do a good job. But then I thought what the heck and did the other angles as well. I'm glad I did lol. But I placed the camera far back enough and off angle to try and capture the sound best... most people put the camera to close directly in front of the muffler and it sounds really bad. | |

| Thanks Aaron! I'll post the next video before I go to bed.... it will be nearly identical, but there are subtle differences between the sounds if you listen carefully lol. | |

My first YouTube ever, enjoy the 1080p
https://youtu.be/t5JyCUUQew8?hd=1 Well today was a great day for being outside (even on Thanksgiving). So I started by swapping the exhaust in that video for a full catback, the one I've always wanted. It actually went quickly enough with an angle grinder on the cat bolts. Then I raised the car 3/8" and put the front wheel spacers back on. (I raised the car as much as the coilovers will safely allow lol). No more rubbing, bottoming out, scraping. I also set the front dampening from full stiff to half way soft. Should be much smoother now. I actually like how it looks a lot more than I thought, I should have done this a long time ago. Here's the new 1080p video. This exhaust is a little less bassy, but definitely more growl (less smooth). https://youtu.be/t5JyCUUQew8?hd=1 | |
