so, im intalks with my parents about keepin the celica..its 60/40 right now..60% im keepin it..40% im not...so i figure if i keep it, with my new job, im gonna have some $ to pay around with..so im thinkin of gettin a front lip of some sorts, no sides..like the body lines as is..and im thinkin of gettin a rear lip. I like the body lines of the celica as is, so im thinkin of somethin to play off thouse lines. I was checkin out the parts data base and i found this rear lip from Gangs Jail

IPB Image

i like it, well..minus the plate relocation. It covers the side nicely, witch is good cuz the only reason i wanna get a rear lip is to hide my exhaust piping/muffler from sticking out like a sore thumb. What do you guys think?

Some how OEM's seem to know best on where/how many tail pipes.
BMW M3.... yep, seems good with 2x3" either side
1.1L 86' golf with badly fitted body kit... 4 pipes is just wrong laugh.gif

I agree, but i dont think so that 2x3'' pipes are too much for a swapped gt-four. In the photo, the left pipe is fake but i have diferrent plans about it.. Both pipes will be working of course and they have to take care of a decent horsepower, so i dont think that anyone will say that it is wrong...
OEM knows better how many pipes should a celica have but a lot of celicas have 50+ % horsepower than the oem engine, so you have to think about a totally different exaust system to take care of the extra power that the engine produces.. In my case, except from the extra hp that i ve got, I have also removed the catalytic converter so the pressure from the exaust gas is too high for a simple muffler. So, in order to avoid the uptake, to minimize the flames and of course to keep the db low, i have to split the rear tube to a twin muffler, or better to different mufflers. I am sure that when my project will be finished you will love the hand made rear exhaust system and mabe you will change your mind about the two different mufflers. I believe that at least in my case, i will have a gain of +15 hp with this system. Lets hope that the dyno will agree with that!! smile.gif smile.gif
