Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Tanabe from afsmotorsports

Anyone buy the TSRM exhaust from afsmotorsports? If so what did you get, only a muffler or full cat-back? And was it for a GT or GTS?

i dont know whats up with the axel back

It's axle back, not cat back.

And you spend too much time in here.

I bought my TSRM from AFS Motorsports. Yes it is a catback/axel back.. did you notice we dont have a rear axel? we have FWD double wish bone suspension. the tsrm consists of 1 muffler and 1 canister that bolt on right behind the rear passenger side wheel

yo steven! so how many pieces are in the box?

which one has a deeper, smoother, non-rice sound...

tsrm or vielside?

for a deep, smooth, non-rice sound, go with TSRM

there are the canister, the muffler, the gasket, the 4 bolts and some certificate.

and everything is a bolted on right after the cat?

Not right after the cat. Its down next to the rear wheels, under the trunk area.

does the tsrm goes through the suspension or around like the trd/stock?

Its just like the stock one. Very easy install. One thing though WD40.

No NO NOOOOOOO!!!!
Don't use WD40 for any type of rubber or to
fit things on more smoothly with exhaust.
if you do you will end up buying new rubber bushings because they will chunk up and fall apart.
try to find a water based lub. that will not harden the rubber.

I have never heard of that before Fratboy. But if you say so.

Every time I think about it, it makes me think about getting another exhaust. I was hoping for a full exhaust system, like what they show on the picture and what the explination says (about how they used minimal curves in the piping for max performance). Oh well, think Im just gonna wait until I get back home and install it before I decide on keeping it or not, but most people on here seem to love it even if it is just a axle back so I guess I'll just have to wait and see for myself.

i picked up my TSRM yesterday from el monte and i cant wait to install it this weekend! i got it for only $420! i think it was a very good deal this guy hooked me up..so if any of you guys wants a TSRM for the same price, let me know so i can email him..by the way, what is that "water based lubed" Fratboy21 was talking about? i've never heard of it before..and what company makes them?

Its just a lubricant, its at all auto parts stores, different brands make them.

But I have never heard of WD40 hurting anything. I used, and I'm fine, I use WD40 for everything. Lots of others used it also. Its not like you are letting the rubber sit in a bowl of it, you are just giving it a couple of squirts. But do what you want.

WD 40 will f*ck up your rubbers dood it is a penetrating lubricant use dish soap.
