TRD exaust #428669 Mar 29, 1:07pm Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 419 Los Angeles, California vcel523 Senior Member 2003 Toyota Celica GT vcel523 Senior Member 2003 Toyota Celica GT Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 419 Los Angeles, California So I'm between the TRD exhaust and Apexi. How would I install the TRD without the resonator if I got that. If I got Apexi, do they have a bolt on system? I just want a bolt on system because I might sell the car in the future and don't want to cut up the exhaust. I also want a bolt on so that I can do it myself.

Yeah TRD is very nice...but if you want to buy a spanking NEW one...then you might as well get TPR...unless u're a TRD nut. The advantage of a TRD exhaust besides that it's TRD is just that you can find em used for $200-$300 pretty readily.

How would I install TRD without the resonator, and will it still be sound legal in Cali?

It's only going to make it raspy and nasty sounding, and you will not gain ANY power.

And where can i find a used trd one for 200-300$ , and wtf is a resonator. lol.

And thats not accounting for muffler breaking in...it gets even deeper than that... Consider the quality of the recorder when listening online. I'll be taking vids soon...

Its located kinda in the middle of your exhaust line. I was gonn a have mine removed when I got my trd exhaust but decided against it because I didnt want to mess the beautiful sound of my TRD up. cant say ive done that before... ahh crap

Still, I would like to get a TRD, because people say you can get it used for 2 or 300. Where, besides ebay, could I find a used TRD?

I'll post a video probbly tonight. I've driven both, heard both. TPR is SLIGHTY deeper.

Just revving them is a LOT different than being on the road, pulling on the highway. The TRD seems a lot louder & ballsier on the road, as I'm sure the TPR is as well. Here's some pics of my car's rear. It's a TRD standard length with a TRD rear valence... Here's some more pics I snapped today. Last edited by robare99; Mar 31, 2005 11:18am.
