Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance KAZUMA VS TPR

IN A BIND...(HELP!!!!!!!!!) WANTED TO KNOW IF THE KAZUMA GIVES OFF A DEEP
PITCHY SOUND OR THE RICY KINDA SOUND (HIGH PITCH) AND THE SAME GOES FOR THE TPR
EXHAUST. I KNOW THE KAZUMA IS HELLA LOUD BUT JUST WONDERING. AND BY THE WAY DOES IT REALLY ADD THE 20 PONIES IT SAYS IT CLAIMS ON WCTOYOTASPORT.JUST CURIOUS. ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.

kazuma deff adds the 20 ponies but you will loose a little bit of low end. kazuma is real loud but not ricey. sounds like a race car on the track.

AHHHHAHAFH$RTljhAJHHJRU@#$rh2r

the kazuma is a replacement exhaust system starting before the cat and all the way back...so it removes the cat making it a high pitch loud and provides some of the best gains


the TPR is an axle back exhaust and supposedly provides the best gains but has a waiting period to have one...sound is similar to TRD exhaust...low rumble, great sound.

for the last time man, kazuma is welded on after the cat. you dont loose the cat. i would know.

you lose the cat

no you dont

then why is it illegal?
just removing the muffer at the end is not going to put you into the decibils it's at...and would not be so illegal and intended for "off road use"
when you see the "off road use only" warning, that means peace out cataylic converter..
you don't lose the resonator in the exhaust system...but you do lose the cat.

ALSO, having an exhaust welded on AFTER the cat does absolutely nothing, that is the same as putting an axle back exhaust on...the piping does not change

Yeah, you don't loose it.

are you joshing me

you dont loose the cat man, it does get that loud just from not having a muffler. plus the gains are so high because there is not muffler to pass through and the piping is 3 inch piping.

IN ADDITION TO THE PREVIOUS TOPIC I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK.
THE PRO'S AND CON'S OF EACH. THE GAINS OF EACH. YOU KNOW, THE TYPICAL QUESTIONS PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK.ON THIS FORUM I READ ALOT ABOUT TPR BEING GOOD AND THE MOST SUGGESTED EXHUAST AMONG THE CELI RIDERS HERE. IN PLACE OF THE KAZUMA WHICH PEOPLE LIKE JUST NOT THE LOUDNESS OF IT..STILL TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN THE TWO.

"Kazuma exhaust replaces the mid pipe & 2nd cat with a straight pipe."

stop talking in caps
and you could have asked this in your other thread.
if you don't want to be illegal, get TPR
if you want to be loud and illegal, get Kazuma

sorry for whoring your other thread man, but imo if you dont want to be worried everytime a cop is near you go for the tpr. its the highest gains you will get from a legal axleback exhaust. but if you really want the gain and arent worried about the cops go for the kazuma hands down.

SOME VERY GOOD INFO . THANKS GUYS I APPRECIATE IT .. I THINK ILL TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THE KAZUMA AND SAY FUCK IT WITH THE PO-LICE. JUST HOPE MY WIFE DONT HATE IT .. HEHE

2nd cat? im getting confused man, i think your talking about the resonator

the cops here in seattle dont really bother with the racing scene here so im not worried about them. wat was surprising was on a late friday night in the backroads of seattle where we were racing a cop pulled out of no where. and in first instincts everyone ran but stayed for some reason.the cop didnt call for backup or nothing and to everyone surprise he stayed and watch and actually raced one race. how funny is that. and think ill take my chances on the kazuma. thanks for the info.

well it replaces one of those lol
now i have doubts of myself
mb i've been told and thinking the wrong thing for so long

yea just go for it

yeah, ill get under my car and take a pic for you to clear it up. you loose the resonator but keep the cat.

at least i was right about losing something
like my mind

Is this a bolt application on or will a welder be needed?

Looks wise those the Kazuma look like a TRD exhaust from the back..like the tip?

I-LUV-MY-KAZUMA!!!!


good luck bro, its loud!!!!!

Welder.
