Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance don't know how you kazuma people do it

i don't know how you kazuma people do it

i had my echaust off today (at the flange by the axel) i am in tthe process of hacking up my tshm so only thing that will be lef tof it is the tip (and the resonater thats in the tip) so i figuured i would see what it sounded like with out the exhaust which is pretty much what its gonna sound like with the exhaust im putting on cause theres only gonna be 1 more foot of piping


soooo...

i take it off and go for a drive and jezus h chirst it was loud i couldn't even hear my stereo lift is deffintly nuts thoguh lots more power but till about 4 grand the car blows lol

...i just have to say i luv my kazuma!!!!!!!...ill give up low end for a sweet top n-e day...where the celi wuz intended to 2 do its best... ...jus gotta b-careful for the po-po (knock on wood)...

I'm considering doing the exact same thing to my TRSM, went to 2 different muffler shops and they said it's gonna take 2 weeks to get the pipe made (mandrel bent). So i'm gonna call around some more and see if anyone could do it faster. It will be loud but not Kazuma loud!

Why are there desible level restrictions for cars but not for bikes.
It's not fair.

thats actually a good question cause my bike is effin loud lol

i also get the cops called on me aobut it a lot but they don't really do anything just tell me to try and be quiter which angers me casue he harleys that go by vibrate my fillings loose

I know for a fact that a harley is louder than the Kazuma.

they are just picking on us

yeah harleys pass my house and shake the whole damn house...it's really ridiculous how they can be as loud as they want...and muscle cars don't often get pulled over...it's always the 4-bangers... I even got pulled over just so the cop could listen to it to see if he thought it was too loud...he just sees a bigger pipe and pulls me over...wtf?!

I drive like tha teveryday. it's not to bad also I didnt lose any down low power. but ah well. good luck on your project.

not 100% sure but think it's cause it would be rediculous to put an appropriate muffler on a motorcycle. think about how big even a performance cheapo straight through muffler is, not to mention a stock car muffler it'd take up half the bike. I think they also have noise laws though it's higher like 105db or something. I know people who have no mufflers at all on their bikes and still don't get in trouble though. Just stay away from the coffee can style mufflers and cops won't "see" how "loud" your car is. did you guys hear about the new noise laws? it used to be they had to test the noise on your exhaust to give you a ticket.. now they can just give you a ticket if they "think" it's too loud. of course you can fight it and win if you get it checked out at a checking station, but big pain..

Vehicles under 1000lbs or over 6000lbs(?) don't have noise restrictions. Bikes and giant trucks are easier to regulate than all of the everyday cars on the road. They're also smaller and harder to see than cars, so the fact that they make a lot of noise is also a safety factor.

i'll probably put kazuma on my car eventually...gonna see how the cops like it...hopefullyt hey dont give me too much trouble

down low wasn't that bad speicaly compared to my tshm but i ahve the stock on for now and the tq down low is nice lol

but i figure i'll have the noisey one out in te summer

love my kazuma

Anybody thinking what I'm thinking...?



















Major weight reduction?

kinda off topic.. but will a kazuma pass inspection?

^^^ it will pass emissions but not sound level

in that case i'm gettin one! i'll slap an ECV on there to keep it quiet when i need it to be and be good to go!! now... who wants to sell me their Kazuma?!
