Engine could this work?

could this work?

I've got a 98 LE and I recently ran into some trouble with the law and need to replace my exhaust...I am obviously gonna get the TRD muffler since it's basically the only one that's actually legal. I know there's a guy selling his on here buy he hasn't responded in forever so I was looking on ebay and found this...

it's for the 9th gen (03+) but I was wondering since my flanges are gone and it has to be welded anyway, would this one work with my system? and would it still be legal?

i dont see why it wouldnt work, if anything u can just tell em to weld u new pipes, take the muffler and put it on your pipes

it wont work, mufflers r differ in sizes, so fitment will be way off and they make carb #s for a certain year(s) and model, so that wont work w/ the law either

It's probably the noise issue..and that's the muffler, so I don't see why it wouldn't be legal..

However, the muffler tip drops down; in a 98-02, wouldn't you have to cut the bottom out of something to make it fit properly? My tip comes straight out, and there's not much room between it and the bumper..

i mean u can make that exhaust fit, but the tip is gonna stick down kinda far (farther than the 98-02 trd muffler, plus the 03+ trd is ugly as hell on the 03s and will look even worse on a 98-02, but if u did do it, it wouldnt be legal cuz trd had it carb approved for the 03+ corolla, so the carb # is set for that and same w/ the 98-02 trd muffler...only for those years. i'd hold out and wait for a 98-02, way better looking and legal

u cud get a muffler with a removable silencer

i think he needs a CARB approved exhaust

so the problems werent with sound issues?

i've already got a silencer for my exhaust now...it's not about the sound at all. i just want something that's considered legal so i don't keep getting fined for having an illegally modified exhaust.
