Those of you with a turbo coming... this is a great setup for an excellent performance increase... F/I makes the exhausts quieter if you are worried about it being too loud. I have heard this exhaust in person and it has a very nice tone to it

This exhaust doesnt sound anything like an angry bee nest. ;) All I can say at this time is, trust me. I've been in the sport compact scene for quite some time now, and I've heard my fair share of "fart can" and "Angry bee" exhausts.... and this isnt one of them.

Dynos... we are going to get Phillip back to the dyno so we can cmpare our numbers to the numbers being posted by other companies around the net and here on ScionLife...

I actually feel a little insulted you would tell me that what I feel it sounds like, isnt correct. I have a very good sound system on my computer and to me it sounds like a bee's nest. Maybe you can post some kinda drive by clip, or REALLY open it up so we can hear how it sounds full throttle.

I am currently looking to purchase an exhaust for my tC. How will your set up be on a automatic transmission? Can the system be installed without the s-pipe?

just ordered my draxas exhaust. can't wait to get it and put it on. i heard that it's pushing only 4hp? how are the gains that little? supposedly the creative compacts full catback is giving 12hp. hopefully once the s-pipe is put on also, the gains will go up to 6-7hp.

I believe the 4whp is on a stock tC.... add an intake/header and s-pipe and you will make a lot more.

This exhaust can be installed on a tC with an automatic transmission. This can also be installed without the S-Pipe being upgraded.

The gains from the Creative Compacts cannot be compared to the gains we saw. Creative compacts installed more than just the exhaust on the car between baseline and that dyno pull. Also, their Scion tC's stock dyno numbers were WAYYYYY below what is commonly seen everywhere else around the country. If we said that our stock dyno pull was at their numbers, then our exhaust kit would gain 12hp as well. ;)

either way, i can't wait to get this thing. patience is definetely not a virtue i claim to have. need money, need parts, need more parts. when is the header from draxas supposed to be avail? is there any idea on price yet? i can't figure out if i should get the alphawerks or one of the others. i have an intake already, now that i bought the exhaust, the next thing i gotta get is the header. i've been trying to figure out which one to get for like the last week. i guess it's not really that much of a decision since almost everyone likes the alphawerks better. i wish there was another stainless steel one other than the 2 that are out.

You're not alone. I can't find it either. And no one is speaking out, like it's some sort of secret.

I removed the video clip because it was poor quality, taken with my digital camera, a short 15 second clip. Im waiting for Phillip to get me a new video that may actually be a fair representation of how our exhaust sounds. Either way, unless you have very high quality sound recording and editing equipment, a digital movie is not going to accurately reproduce sound.



We need 9 more to make the Group Buy Price effective. Once I receive all 10 orders, the kits will be shipped out that day. No credit cards will be billed until we hit the minimum of 10 orders.

Default New Video...

Just to let you all know I will be taking a new video some time this week to give you a better idea of how the exhaust sounds. Also I will be doing an updated dyno sometime this week to find out what the new numbers are. As for the sound... it definitely doesn't sound like the angry bee nest that one of you commented. Low res video and sound definitely cant tell you how it really is. All I can say is that it is a very nice sound. Updates coming soon.
