Help?
I've got an auto, and I love it.
Sounds great, might add a pony or two.
Who cares?
Even if you got your tC up to 170HP, it's still a tC.
You want a race car,spend loads of dough on the tC or get an other car.

^yeah, but its still pretty much a negligible amount. Exhaust is just for sound. you wond get much gains from ANY exhaust on the tC. maybe 6-8hp tops. not enough to make a difference. just get what sounds best to you.

Thats not entirely accurate. I have seen many people on this site showing their dynoes of 11+ hp from their catback setups. Dezod exhaust gives really compeative numbers as well as ARK and Agency power

^^ yes i agree.. full exhaust systems only see good gains if you have othe mods to compliment it.. an axelback itself is just for sound.. but the more exhaust pieces you have done the better chance you have to gain more horsepower..

I put the TRD on my tC at about 2k miles. To be honest I noticed a slight drop in low end torque.

That being said, I love the exhaust note of it. It's not too loud, it's just right!

tcdaily: Yes, it was hardly noticeable. I think it has to due with the fact that the stock exhaust has that flap/chamber that opens up at higher RPMs and remains closed at lower RPMs.

And of course I don't consider the slightly different pedal/throttle response in 1st and 2nd gear to be a negative trait of the TRD exhaust.
