My '93 Corolla From New Zealand

*throws hands up in the air like I don't care*

Thanks!!

I decided to put my digital calipers up against the standard mid-pipe to see how bad the restriction really is where it goes over the subframe. At the pipe's widest point before the restriction starts it measures in at approximately 53.57mm (2.10"), and at the pipe's most restrictive point (where it goes over the subframe) it shrinks right down to approximately 28.10mm (1.10"). After the restriction the pipe goes back to it's original size of 53.57mm (2.10") but the disruption to the flow of the exhaust gasses would be huge.

The FGK header set retains it's original piping size the whole way along, so it makes me wonder why Toyota decided to hammer the piping down so far when there's so much room between the underbody of the car and the subframe. Admittedly, there are usually heatshields covering the mid-pipe, but even so there's still plenty of room under there.

It's hard to tell how bad the restriction/pancake effect really is from the photos but in real-life it looks terrible. It's easy to see why I noticed a gain in power almost instantly after installing the FGK set:

wow dude that is hilarious...damn you toyota!

Yep it was actually designed like that. The original heatshields had no signs of any dents or damage to them so it definitely was done in the factory.

Here's some new photos that I took today:

I would say you need spacers in the rear

double post fail...i thought you got a new mouse

I forgot. Are his tails led?

Then he needs some!

Have fun with that.

Make some!

And because the law is you have to have amber or orange turn signals.

That means hes a racist.
