Q: Exhaust systems & Retailers

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a new exhaust system for my '01 Corolla.

I live in Montreal, Quebec (Canada). I would preferably want to buy inside Canada.

Which exhaust systems do you guys recommend, are after market mufflers an easy install (requires mounting hooks tacked on?), are the compatible with other exhaust manifolds (referring to the 2zz-ge Celica manifold).

Thanks!

Any 2ZZ header off a Matrix, Celica and Corolla will not work on our cars....

HOWEVER you might want to try a Header off a MRS.... Monkey Wrench racing sells them and they might just clear.

The headers aside, has anyone put in a full catback system in their Rolla?

I have access to the garage at school, so modifications aren't an issue (welding, grinding, etc.). However, if you say that the exhaust is a direct fit (aside from a few welded spots) I believe I'll order myself one of those.

Do you have a video of the sound by any chance?

Someone mentioned a really good place based out of the us that had awesome prices on exhaust systems but i forget the site.

FOUND IT! http://www.mandrelexhaustsystems.com/servlet/StoreFront they dont list anything fo the corolla but you can email them and they will make you one.

Im wondering if its worth it to upgrade on my automatic car? What is our stock piping size? kinda wanted to maybe have a 2.25 system made

If you are going to have a custom exhaust made id at least go 2.5 with your choice of muffler, I have a vibrant muffler for mine I know a lot of guys here run the magnaflow or obx muffler. I also have a vibrant resonator to prevent the ricey buzz soound. Obx also has headers for our cars but you will need to have a flex pipe welded on so it won't crack.

Yea not really trying to have a ricey tone, been trying to find vids on youtube but nothing i like

Should be able to find some vids of vibrant or magnaflow mufflers. Would deffinately recommend adding a resonator to keep a deeper tone. Vibrant and obx both have the best priced resonators I could find.

Think you would really like this muffler it doesn't look or sound ricey at all there are vids on YouTube. This is the one I was gonna get before I got the vibrant.
