resonator, does the exhaust sound good w/o a resonator? Options

[Spider77]

Say what? 1500? I paid less than 400 for mine! I'm running Magnaflow res and muff.

Don't butcher your SP2! Please don't do that! You have a nice exhaust system on there (mostly for bragging right) that most of us cant get (as its been dis-continued). If you go and cut it up and slap on a new anything you just devalue it. But If your planning on keeping the Celica forever, then do whatever you want. But I wouldn't touch it.

Yeah I won't cut off the resonator, but you're saying I shouldn't get headers??

[Spider77]

A header, fine. But dont touch that cat-back! Or I will never have a good nights sleep again. OK< im sure I will, but it'll be a shame if you jack up that SP2!

No I dont think he's thinking of touching the cat-back, just wants to know if he should get headers.
My opinion, if you really like the exhaust note now, I wouldn't get headers. If you listen to the clips I posted you can hear the headers took away from the low note. But then again I got my headers for about $90 shipped so if you find some cheap ones you could always (check the return policy) and test them out for a day. If you dont like them send um back, you would be out maybe $25-30 for shipping back.
Headers do add a little power in the higher RPM's and speeds, but take a away a little of the the lower.
but all up to you-

Headers yes... cutting the axle back NO lol. and yea 1400 thats insane. said ( my bends were really complicated ) i even took them a picture of one i got off here thats basically straight back

I promise I won't touch it! And I just love how it's over-axle

Mine is underneath if im not mistaken. But thats just bc i wanted straights.

[Spider77]

I know its over axle, I've talked to the former owner.....Anyhow, lime I said it would be a shame for you to chop it up. Slap a header on it, and call it a day. Then come to the meets!

Header will have to wait sir, I just ordered the Megan coilovers that have been on GB forever. But they're on back order so I need to wait about 2 more weeks

Well Im sure that you will be pleased with the coil overs. I know youve been wanting to go lower for a bit.

It'll satisfy that need, plus 3 of my struts are blown so it's necessary maintenance/upgrade. Nothing better than taking advantage of a problem and getting nice things.

hey you guys in texas after adding a E header do you have any problems with emissions?? also can we remove the TWC with out emission problems? FT Worht here!

[Spider77]

I'll let you know when im up for emissions! The place I go, they dont really check under the hood, or make sure the lights work even. Just hook it up and go. But for the past two times (and all the previous MD inspec with stock) its been way way way below max. So im hoping it wont effect it that much. And if it does, well, Im still going to try to get that sticker.
