Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Invidia Exhaust installed! Terrific sound

Hi there

just wanted to share that I finally got my Invidia Cat-back exhaust installed. I Also got my AEM intake installed.

When I got the exhaust in I wondered what the 'coat-hanger' was for, When I got under the car I found out pretty soon. The mounting point for the original silencer cannot be used, it is to far away. A new mounting point is created with the 'coat-hanger' and the mounting points for the heat-shield (at least I think it is a heat-shield).

Anyway, enjoy.
Got a very good price for painting my kaminari kit, gotta wait till my TRD-wing comes in. getting it painted all for a total of 350 usd

Since this exhaust is not in the list for the exhausts' topic, I didn't know wether to put it there

Car: 2000 Celica GT
Price 420 USD @ www.autosportz.com [autosportz.com] (paid about 350 f*cking usd for shipping it )
Ease of install, well very easy, the hardest part is getting the original exhaust from its rubbers.
Sound: perfect, just what I wanted, it has a silencer which makes the sound on the outside the same, but quieter in the car.
Performance gains, it's an almost straight exhaust. I also installed my AEM intake with it, so hard to say about the gains specific for this exhaust, but I do have more power in the 4000 - 6800 rpm.

That looks sweet. Got any clips, how does the power feel. I think its a great design, and you will get some nice gains out of it.

Working on clips, at the mo I only got my mp3-player to record some sound, will try to get a friend's DV-camera though.
No dyno-run yet, since there aren't many companies here doing that

That looks awesome and is a brilliant hanger position!

Very nice

awesome! i just got my tanabe muffler w/custom piping and it sounds aweomse also!

put a sound/video file asap!

looks good

Looks extremely nice!

awesome dude!!

why did it come with the extra coat hanger ??? did you have to drill extra holes in that spot?? or was it simple bolt on?? how loud is it? does it compare to the Tanabe Super Racing Spec???

Looks nice.

If you look at the pictures closely and read the text it is for creating a new mounting point. It is a direct bolt-on to the mount points for the heat shield.

I have no idea how to explain how loud it is, but it is LOUD, street legal tho. Here in the netherlands we can only get Remus/Sebring/Laser exhausts in 'regular' car-shops, so I have no idea what the Tanabe Super Racing Spec sounds like, sorry.

If you don't mind me asking, did you pay to get that installed and if so how much? I know I'm gonna get an exhaust but I'm not sure if I'll be able to install it mnyself or not

I paid 10 euros for installing it
15 euros for the CAI.

That made me decide not to do it myself, You really want to get underneath your car, so you need a bridge. If you need to rent it, it'll cost 10 euros.

If it were 50 euro's I'd have done it myself though.

Are you gonna make a video clip any time soon?

I tried recording audio with my mp3-player but it doesn't do the exhaust justice.
Will try with dv-camera tomorrow

Immo

Oooo... Shiny

It's not really hard to install an exhaust. I installed my TSRM myself. At first, I thought that it would be really hard but it wasn't. The only part that gave me a hard time was taking out the hangers from the rubber mounts.

Bare in mind though that the bolts used to mount the rear part of the exhaust will have some kind of ring on it which might prevent you from being able to tighten the bolts as far as you'd like. The mechanic at my garage had to take of the rings on the bolts.

Did a decent run yesterday, I can feel the power gain from the intake and exhaust pretty good.
I don't know how long it takes the ECU to 'learn' the new intake and exhaust, but it looks like it got it now

whoever wants to get one .. there is a gb starting at newcelica.org .. but we need 2 more ppl.. post up if ur interested.. 400 + shipping and 8.25% tax on cali residnets.. if you live in so cal you can pic up from cerritos.

No no, don't buy.
I was so happy to be the first on EC.com with this exhaust (from as far as I could see).
Just kidding, it's a cool exhaust, I just wanted to be exclusive

I'll still be probably the only one in the netherlands with this exhaust..

GROOVY i was looking at that group buy but i don't want loud. one of my friends has the tanabe and it was too loud for my taste and my other friend has the greddy but i don't like the large coffee can outlet. guess i'll get the trd like i wanted...

According to this [cgi.ebay.com] it is..

looks sweet! that exhaust is crazy LOUD, heard is on my friend's GT

does anyone has any clip for this exhaust... I want to hear it first before i get it... Im selling my TRD exhaust to my friend for only 100 dollars... I want something new, and I was looking at this one, but want to hear it first before buying...

Hey IMMO, when you installed it, did you have to remove the catalytic converter? We have have the same year and model, and I don't see it in your pictures.
