alrite i have a Tc 07 and i have a fujita CAI, megan racing headers, megan midpipe and im getting my megan oe-rs axleback exhaust in 2 days. Rite now my car sounds really raspy, is the megan exhaust im getting in 2 days gonna help my car sound a little better or not?

umm... i'd say give it a couple weeks for the loudness to die down once everythin is on.. then from there its up for you to decide if its too raspy or loud whatnot..

diego_demarco1025

oo so u think that after i put on the exhaust tat it'll get better soon

KrazyAznScion

thats what lotta people do... from what i understand.. like my CAI, was loud the first couple weeks, but once your car adapts to it, the sound kinda eases down a bit.. same thing with exhausts.. and plus ur exhaust will build up a bit of ash or whatever should help deaden the shound a bit... someone chime in if im wrong or something....

diego_demarco1025

ooo ok

i have another question , when i floor my car its raspy as heck and then it smells funny, almost like burnt or gas or sumting , is it because of the new midpipe wit the stock exhaust, and im getting my new exhaust tomorow, will this fix it

KrazyAznScion

dude like i said.. just give it a lil time... everything should settle down a bit, then use ur judgement..

diego_demarco1025

lol yea but is it supposed to smell funny

KrazyAznScion

dude it smells funny everytime i fart..

diego_demarco1025

LOL no seriously it smells wierd after I floor it

KrazyAznScion

umm... normal i guess... i wouldnt worry about it much.. unless it gets uber thick smell or something.. ur just over reacting to every little thing you pick up.. chill... pick one red or blue pill?.. =P

what kind of smell? it will smell like a go cart because you dont have any cats on your car.

i have a vid of my set up which was with dc header megan midpipe and megan oe-rs and it sounded pretty bad...

that smell is most likely because you removed your catalytic converters. You basically removed the filters from your exhaust so all the nasty crap that normally gets filtered out is now just flowing on through your exhaust

diego_demarco1025

ooooo ok thanks and is there anyway to get rid of the smell, and i just got my exhaust and im installing it tonite, so u dont think the exhaust is gonna help wit the rasp at all?

that smell probably won't go away unless you put at least one of your catalytic converters back on. As for rasp - it'll be worse with the exhaust. You may want to get a resonator added to your setup

diego_demarco1025

oo tat sucks and how much do u think it should cost to put a resonator or a cat?, and the exhaust has a black thing in the muffler wit a hole in it , am I supposed to remove it?

Everyone has had the same problem when installing headers. Scion Life is full of posts that go into great detail to explain the exact problem you are experiencing.

yeah you will need a resonator. just go to a muffler shop and they should be able to weld one on for you. probably will cost you around $80-100

whats up man!!

you will have to live with the smell, its like rotten eggs, its from all the hydro-carbons that the catalytic converters normally get rid of, it will be a bit worse with the mid-pipe installed since the mid-pipe also has a cat!

once all is installed, your best bet would be to weld in a Hi-flow cat from magnaflow or other, it will help the smell tremendously, and get rid of alot of the rasp!!

also, give me the heads up if you wanna install that isht this weekend!!
