5sfte 3" exhaust under rear suspension, pics and vid Options

[presure2]

here are some pics and a vid of my 5sfte 3" exhaust going under the rear suspension. had it like this now for a couple months and NO problems hitting on anything.
:::EDIT 1/09 i made myself a new b-pipe here is a pic of that, VS the old one:



and the rest:




yes, its lowered 1.5"+ on eibach sportlines.
i havent hit yet, not even on the biggest speed bumps.



::EDIT:: 1/09 still running this same exhaust, and i still love it.
still looks great, and still have no problems with it being under axle.

Awesome, I remember asking a while ago, glad to see them up.

What downpipe is that?

Is that crush bent?

youre running straight pipe to the muffler, too, correct? (no cat in DP)

[presure2]

3" berk technology DP, 3" compression bent, 3"inlet magnaflow race 4"tip, straight back, no cats.

[trdevelopment]

very clean job like the video...

[lagos]

that is soooo rice! hahaha not! nice job!

he no longer makes this style of pipe tho, last i heard he was working on version II of this pipe.
you can call and ask for bryan, hes a cool guy.
the closest thing to this pipe is those crap pipes on ebay. the big diffrence is in the welds, and quality control.
bryan's pipe has immaculate welds, and is of high quality.
the crap ones on ebay are just that, crap.

that is soooo rice! hahaha not! nice job!

art, your just jelous cause YOU didnt get it first!

[dustin15brown]

looks good manny... but I dind't hear a BOV

hahaha its not that loud without a load on the engine...besides, where i was standing its hard to hear the BOV over the exhaust at a standstill..

[97sccelica]

good work and it sounds good

how loud is it when cruising at highway speeds?

thanks.
its not overly loud, unless i get on it. its definetly louder than stock, doesnt help that i removed the heat sheilds, they also help deaden the sound in the cabin abit.
but its perfect for me, i didnt want it to be all honking loud, anyway, and its not, its actually pretty tame when your not getting on it, consitering how free flowing it is.

[mark_426]

I called Berk about 2 weeks ago - they're working on a divorced DP for 3SGTE's, and they said about a month from when I called - ideally, 2-4 weeks until they get some protos out.

I gave them 6GC info, and they said theyre going to try to post here - debut/proto price of around $200

[doGGy]

I had myne exhaust rooted what way about 2 years now..... Aint hitting anything even what im extremly lowered right now....

[Jaws4God]

that sounds amazing!!

I have my magna flow muffler and i am wanting to get it installed... I know i want to do the compression bent fromt he cat back 2.25" and I'd like to run it under the rear sway bar too! still not have any problems?

and i don't see a resonator... most people on the site said it would sound crappy without one... what do you think i should do?

thanks, still no problems, works perfectly.

theres absolutely nothing in my exhaust path, resonators, cats, nothing. just pipe, and the muffler.
i dont know what the diffrence will be with or without a resonator, i went from totally stock to this.

thanks for the info... but i guess i'll take everyones advice and put a resonator on... just hope it will be loud enough for me and sound good.. maybe like yours!

i dont know if this works for all movie players but for people with quicktime when you play the movie hold the fast forward button sounds like a GSXR600 at low revs

I am just wondering... how many cats do our celicas have?

AFAIK 94-95 "cali emmisons" cars all had 2, non cali have 1. i "think" 96+ is the same, but i could be wrong about 96+ . im sure someone will chime in also

my point is i did it and thought i would comment on what i thought since everyone was talking about how it sounds i found another aspect to look at it... btw, i like the sounds both realtime and ffwd.

hey can you measure on flat level ground from the bottom of your 3" exhaust to the ground at the point where you rerouted it.

[right][snapback]331767[/snapback][/right]

yea, i can prolly try to squeeze under there and take a pic actually, with a tape measure in there.

:edit:
heres the pic nik:

[nik]

thanks my 3" is routed around it I might cut to do like you did but i'm still thinking about it alot of speed bumps are crazy big over here for some reason thanks again your the man

[eclipse_04a]

if you take speed bumps slow you wont have a problem....your car lifts up as you go over them. if you go fast then you might have problems. you have about 4 inches of travel in your wheels to play with at speed...

[Celiracer18]

I am just wondering... how many cats do our celicas have?

as far as i know the 94-95s had only 1 unless they were in cali then there was 2 and then I think the 96+ had 2

damn manny, your car is LOW

[DG_Performance]

wow.... only 3" to the pipe is low! but if you guys are worried about speed bumps think of it this way. The low part of his exhaust is directly between the rear wheels and will lift up as you drive slowly over the bump, so it should still have a 3" clearance going over the speed bump. The only real problem is road kill or objects sticking up in the road or big ass holes like i got here in PA .....things that both rear tires do not drive over at the same exact time!

Looks nice!
DG

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Strate pipe Manny? Rebel. I've got strate pipe as well, but it's not 3inches. Your turbo quiets it down a bit, I think. I would like to see if mine is louder than yours. I'm so afraid to take my baffle out now. It's really loud and I don't want people to get the wrong impression on Imports, or me. And my inspection sticker is 2 months past due. I've got a strate through glass pack looking muffler.

[OOBE]

Wow, you car is very oxidized underneath, hehe. Nice vid...Magnaflow rocks, hehe. Mine is a Magnaflow Race 14842.

My '99 had two.
Still passes Houston's super stringent emmissions despite the OBDII at the Toyota dealership though. Still can't figure out why.

Pressure - you're car sounds so beautiful it makes me want to get off my a$$ and install my Turbo stuff. For some reason I think I have cold feet. Probably because my '86 Swap was such a pain in the a$$.

[presure2]

yup straight pipe turbo back.
thanks DG, you know how it is
its low, but where the exhaust travels with the chassis, so i just about never scrape. like DG said, if i hit a tire popper, (HUGE pothole ) it gets close..and even then, ive only hit once or twice since ive had it, and thats mostly on dirt roads, not the street.
its really not that loud, except @ WOT.
you want LOUD, check out the HKS jeff has. lol
oobe, yea...part of living up here in the north east part of the country...lots of salt on the roads in the winters..

Haha come on man why do you need to bring me in this. LMAO
Your exhaust sounds great. Mine requires ear plugs.



Large and in charge. This ****er is beyond loud hahaha

hehe hell yea.
i really like the way it sounds, just LOUD for me.

[randyto]

NICE IM TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING !

[Punisher]

You can get 3" over axle pretty easily with some 3" u-bends.

[zachattack15]

What muffler are you using?

[hitcachi]

jeff, wheres the pic of you hugging your muffler. I love that pic.

[presure2]

What muffler are you using?

magnaflow oval race 3" inlet, 7"long 4" dual walled tip.

[6strngs]

sorry to revive an old thread, but I always wondered what that little "tru-star" thing was.

[x_itchy_b_x]

flex pipe. its so the exhaust system isn't torn in two when the motor flexes.
stops the exhaust system from rattling under the car, thats one reason why exhausts systems are held up with rubber bones that stop vibration also. thats my .02

[Jaws4God]

I just bought a Header and High Flow cat.. I am gonna have those installed soon.. but i wanted to know if while i'm there, should I have them re-route my exhaust to go under the axle or is it not really worth it for (NA engine with 2 1/4" exhaust) ?

dan, that would really just be a matter of prefrence.
your not really gonna see any diffrence in power either way with the 5sfe.
if you were turboing, or doing some serious mods, then i would say you'd prolly be better going under.

[6strngs]

does your exhaust kinda gurgle on deceleration like an SRT4 without a resonator?

[Cisco93lude]

manny who did your exhaust?? what shop did it?? and how much it cost you?? thanks

[rickycillo]

mine cost about $360.........it has a 3" flex pipe,with 3" exhaust and dinomax 3" free flow muffler

i had roy @ auto boutique on e. main st. in the city..IIRC it was ~500 with the muffler.

[Cisco93lude]

so just the dp to the stock exh. shouldnt be that much right

[EKAn]

Ok, from what i understand, To do this u have to cut out the part the bends over the rear suspension and weld a straight piece in to replace the bend. am i missing anything?

he didn't modify the stock exhaust he completely replaced it with a 3" turbo-back exhaust.

[EKAn]

did he modify the aftermarket one then to be stait or did it come like that? sorry for all the questions im new at this. and i realy want to learn

[6strngs]

it's cool. we all start somewhere. but anyway, it's not an aftermarket exhaust that you can just go buy. He went to an exhaust shop and had them custom make this exhaust. so they took piping and welded it up for him. He decided to have them route it under the rear axle rather than over like the stock does, becuase it's straighter pipe so it gives a better flow, plus it was probably easier for the exhast shop to make.

[EKAn]

oh, thanks for the info realy helpfull!
