Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance TRD Exhaust

Hey all, just ordered my 05 gts yesterday and am already thinking about modding. Just wanted to know if anybody has the TRD exhaust and if they like it. I'm really thinking about going for one but don't know what it sounds like. If anybody knows where i can find a sound clip of it I would appreciate it. Let me here your take on this exhaust. Thanks.

Good luck if you have the Action Package the TRD isn't made to fit yet because the rear valance sticks out so far and even though they can get it to fit, over time it will start to melt the valance. Still looking for a way to mod. Let me know if anyone has had any luck. Enjoy the 05' it's a sexy beauty.

I have the TRD exhaust for my 00 GTS and i love it. It might not have the greatest gains for an exhaust...or be the lightest...but it's beautiful stainless steel...no huge ricey looking canister...and the sound is great. I believe it's 88db which isn't too loud...but sounds wonderful...i wish i could get you a soundclip...i'm sure someone on here has one

yup i have it also. you couldnt pry it outta my dead hands.. i can def tell it made a difference power wise, and it sounds awesome. not ricey, but low and deep, but when you get on it, it screams!!

actually it has the best gains alongside TSRM and TPR

go with the TPR. it has the best gains, looks great, sounds about the same as the TRD (but with a little more low end growl) and it's cheaper.

Here you go bro. Check this out, it's a bunch of sound clips of different exhausts. http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0209tur_exhaust/index.html

I don't have an exhaust yet, but I was personally thinking about getting the TRD, just because it isn't too "rice" or too loud. I think you should check out the TPR also from what combatc87 says.

I beleive TRD has better gains than TSRM, but ofcourse TPR outruns them both. So I say for gains it goes TPR then the TRD then TSRM.

yes, TRD had a little better but i never said anything about that
i said it has the best gains along with two others.

Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate all your input and help. Keep representin' the celica nation. Peace

So where can I find a TPR exhaust?

I have the TRD exhaust and I LOVE it. I didn't want my exhaust loud because when you do highway driving you go deaf. The TRD exhaust is the best if you don't want that loud annoying sound on the highway. and by the way you have to get the EXTENDED TRD exhaust if you are planning to get or already have a body kit.

I think this guy was in on the first group buy so it should be coming out soon, rather than having to wait for the next round of production...

Hows the production comming on the TPR exhaust. Is there a waiting list or anything like that. I dont want to have to wait very long for one if I get one. I have TRD right now but I want to get rid of t for a TPR peice. I also want the intake but I hear it will take a while to get one.

There is a waiting list, but im having 20 exhausts made (10 for the first group buy, and 10 for the next). Then while those are shipping, ill have more made

why are you getting rid of the TRD?
Not enough punch?
How does it sound?

not sure about the tusnami kit, but my action pack + trd extended sport muffler fits well together...trd sport muffler is not loud at all...

It's not loud? I thought it was 88db?

88db is nothing...

to put it short...
The TRD standard/extended Exhaust has a sound level that is legal in every state. Besides having a legal decibel rating, it has a sexy low growl in the low-to-mid rpm range. and when in the higher rev range, it screams like a hott chick having an orgasm

The TRD extended/standard exhaust gives the highest HP gains out of all kits that can still maintain a legal sound decibel.

Now if you are not into the soft tones, you might want to check out the TRD Kazuma, which gives the highest gains - even higher than the TRD extended/standard exhaust kits. but beware, the TRD Kazuma is not, NOT, street legal. It is too loud and can be heard from far distances. A sales ad for the Kazuma states that it is "For Off-Road Use Only." But if you decide on buying and installing it, dont bitch about getting tickets.

The TPR exhaust is somewhat identical in terms of appearance to the TRD extended/standard exhaust, it doesnt have a coffee-can look to it like the other exhausts.

TPR is a few decibels higher than the TRD, about say 90dB compared the the 88dB of the TRD extended/standard exhaust.

TPR has a, dyno proven, higher HP gain than the TRD extended/standard exhaust.

TPR is much cheaper than the TRD exhausts.

Both TRD and TPR are the best options of exhausts for the Celica GT or GTS.

How about custom catbacks? Are they worth it for $230?

So how can I get added to the next group buy?

so i'm interested in getting a exhaust. first i really wanted a TRD, but i'm checking out the TPR.. how much $ ? and like the intake, does it have to be carb certified? (sorry new at this, i dont know if exhausts need this!) thanks.

^^ my bad, that was supposed to be a PM for Easy-C. i'm a tard

TPR intakes are not carb approved or as far as i know it isn't.

Really?
Good thing I didn't decide to get one

^^^ i dont think emissions matter in FL
