Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Exhaust (Video)

OK, so I seen 2Fast 2Furious today, and watching all that Hollywood speed made me feel this little ->.<-

So I brought out the camera, and asked my friend to tape my exhaust while I'd try to make blue flames come out of it like in the movie.. lol

This is my exhaust..

As you can see, no flames.. But if you watch carefully, you can see the camera twitch while my friend flinches with fright from the noise..

I love that exhaust, deep and not ricey.. But mixed with a yellow car, it kinda screams "Look at my Copper!!" Oh well, I've got a silencer for when I get scared..

is that a tanabe? because i have a tanabe srm and it does not sound as deep at idle...hmmm.

I wish I had money to buy a Tanabe..

It's a Revolution from AC Autotechnics.. A no-name muffler that no one I know has ever heard of, but I took a chance (and got lucky in my opinion)..

Exhaust: $120
Installation: $40

yea dude, that sounds pretty nice. Did you notice any performance gains?

Wow that's cheap. Any gains at all?

I had it put on a little after I got the car so I didn't really notice gains (considering it was still during the "break-in" period and I've never punched it yet ), but I can tell a difference when I drive my car and my friends stock '03 Celica GT.. By how much I don't know.. The exhaust is the only "performance" mod I have on there so far..

The exhaust claimed a 10% gain in hp, but as to how reliable those numbers are, I dunno..

10%!? That would kick ass if it was true. Thats 14 hp to the crank man and like 12 to the wheels. I wish those numbers were true, but they aren't. Oh well.

hey i have a yellow 03 celi too..
but mine is a GTS.
i have one of those cheaper mufflers on my older celi,, it made a big difference because the car is old. its an 86 celica gt

lol.. yeah.. that's advertising for ya.. *sigh*

where did you get that muffler and did it come with a silencer?

Get it Here [acautotechnic.com] and YES it came with a silencer..

But word of wisdom: NEVER hand-tighten the silencer on..

i see the site, but how did you order it and what version revolution is it...it's pretty damn sweet for the price!

Well, I personally found it on e-bay.. Mine is the last one on the webpage, it's the S2 Revolution one..

If you need any more info/help, just lemme know..

take a picture of your piping

that sounds good! are you from the bay area? you should check out
norcalcelicas.org!

hey hey! sounds good man ad sweet, MAD PROPS!

Sounds pretty nice

Here ya go Steven:






And thanks everyone for your comments.. Greatly appreciated - especially coming from you all..

wow, that sounds nice

we have an account with AC Autotechnic to sell them in the Ecelica Store... but they are UNIVERSAL exhausts and many people complain about not being able to "INSTALL AN EXHAUST THEMSELFS" (ie, that the system isnt bolt on...)

Heck - Celica was one of the first that *I* ever saw that didnt require someone to weld the exhaust into place


Good job though... your setup sounds awesome!!!!!

if Selica's exhaust sounds like mine and has the same setup, maybe Steven's exhaust sounds like it as well, what do you think Steven?
