Exhaust

[TidyBoi]

Hey guys, just a quick question,

 

I have a 1992 corolla sedan, now I wanna get an exhaust system for that nice sound.

 

Seeing as it's a 1.6 litre, my dad was saying that just getting a muffler won't give it a good sound, I'll need extractors etc.

 

Can anyone gimme a list of exactly what I'll need for the sound I'm after, I want a grunty sound, but no drone in the cabin.

 

Thanks.

I just got a 2" exhaust system on my AE82 (1986). It's a 1.6L Sohc. 4ac

I don't have extractors,

 

I got 2" right through, a high flow cat, Resonator, Turbo mufferer and twin chrome tip.

 

Sounds good, heaps more power but it does drown a bit when you drive on the freeway.

Does it sound pissy like those wannabe racer cars or does it have a bit of grunt?

 

How much did the 2" all the way through set you back?

It's a stock 4Ac with no extractors, Just a big exhaust. I havent heard it from outside the car but i think is sounds alright. When I use the gears to slow down it has a sort of gargle sound which sounds cool. If i had a big cam it would sound better.

 

**EDIT** Oh yeah, $550 all up.

Heres a pic, just got it about 4 days ago

if you don't want that then steer away from a fart can

 

yeah 2" from the manifold back will provide a perfomance gain, ask for a "sports" muffler. should give a nice note for a daily without being too loud.

 

typically you will get a drone if you have straight pipe or a cannon/fart can (one that you see on excels that looks like a milo tin).

 

i have 2" with a resonator and muffler around the middle then 2.25" straight pipe the rest of the way which makes it quite loud, prob quite a bit more than is legal.
