Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior To go Kazuma or not...

OK...here's the question. I know Kazuma is supposed to be very loud. I have custom straight thru exhaust. Sets of people's car alams all the time. I would like to go with kazuma, I want the 20 hp gain. It couldn't possibly be louder than I already have, could it?

do you have your cat yes or no?

um ya...here is a thread with a video...3rd post and click on the link...

ya

did you try da video...

that should tell you if it can get louder

(which it does)

I already heard the clip. Like I said, mine sets off alarms all the time. You can hear me coming from a block away. (hmmm...sounds like I'm a screamer) hehehe What I wanna know is anyone have one & have they been pulled over for just that?

be back in 20 min

id get it if i were you

^^norway has one...ask him stuff

ok..I'm back

Norway..you have a kazuma?

how do you guys get clear pix, mine turn out so grainy. they are taken with a 2.1 mega pixel digital camera, then reduced down to fit the site limits, I have several really good pix of my car I want to post but all come out bad on here

if you resize it wrong...it distorts it...

or your camera is not very good...2.1 is a little iffy

and yes norway has a kazuma

I lost my Photo Shop program when the pc crashed, I had to resize all my pix in Microsoft photo editoe. I will get Photo Shop tomorrow, see if that helps.

it should fix the problem

i got a kazuma n got it out after one weekend...now(with extra piping) it's a bolt-on for race day..yay

I don't think his camera is bad...
It's probably got some bad setting while changing resolution...

Here is the "medium setting" on my 2m camera

hi Jackie

Kazuma rocks but a lot of people say its so loud that they can't think

great stuff is all I've been reading from it... but not street legal

Norway has one ^^^ it scared his mom the first time he turned it on

To have a Kazuma like experience...


...remove the entire stock exhaust, unbolt it at the end of the header. Drive around a bit and see how much of a headache you get. Still thinking about getting it? Leave the exhaust off for a few days. When you have to go to the store to buy Tylenol because you have a pounding migraine, then you can put the stock exhaust back on and live in peace.

Kazuma on the street = gay

what he said!

^^ its really only if you are into racing...but i would take it anyway

If you have a custom straight pipe and don't mind it - get the Kazuma...

i think i would go crazy with all the noise. thats just my opinion tho

dude get the kazuma and get a silencer for it. its gonna be a 4.5" silencer,preferably one with a small bore and as long as possible(measure it and cut it off just before the bend) when you get the kazuma you would know what bend i'm talking about.
and a lot of noise associated with the kazuma has to do with the fact that it was not welded properly.
i later found out that you can buy a adaptor at the muffley shop that goes into the kazuma exactly and goes over the stock exhaust pipe after you have cut it off. you can ither clamp this set up or after it has been put together mig or tig weld around both ends. it sounds smoother. thats how i am going to do my other kazuma(i sold mine and thats how we put it on this time)but i kinda miss it you will feel the difference low down,and hard above 6k!

kazuma would be a sweet addition to ur list of mods

GO KAZUMA!!! I GOTS IT ITS LOUD BUT I THINK ITS THE BEST X-HAUST OUT THERE...MAN ITS LOUD

GO TPR!!!

in my oppinion loud isnt gernerally always good
you could get pulled over
you will get a headache
you will be the most hated person in your neighborhood
its rice to sound like that in the streets

i got 7 tickets with the kazuma. one was at idle after i started my car in front of a cop. i also think i lost a few brain cells after driving from tennessee to georgia with that thing from the noise. don't get it for everday driving.

YES YES YES YES YES YES

GO KAZUMA GO KAZUMA I HAVE ONE AND IT IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!

ok seriously it is so sick the tone that it makes is awsome. not the ricer sound but a deep tone. i would defintly go with one adn put a silencer on it like i did. with out the silencer it is unbearable, but the silencer makes a huge difference. it is still louder than any exhaust out there with the silencer but when you cruze at 3 grand the sound goes away and ur all good. i have had it for a month and so far no tickets. i aboutly love it to death
