How about some headlight/taillight overlays? Or some new lights altogether? An Spipe perhaps? Header too maybe? New tires! lol

I think i High Flow Cat or a 30" Resonator should help with the rasp.

If its a 30'' resonator Im sure it'll eliminate the rasp. But yeah you can do it. Still gonna be semi loud though. Just a clean loud ya know?

Would it sound good with the TRD axle back? whats the difference from 4-2-1 headers & 4-1 headers?

i'm gonna answer, and i hope i'm not backwards. the difference is when you will get more power in the powerband. if i'm not mistaken, the 4-2-1 headers give you more low-end torque and the 4-1 headers give you high-end torque

Low-end meaning at a Low RPM and vise versa with a High-end. which one is most recommended? would it be good with a TRD axle-back?

well i have the TRD too...i haven't really looked into headers since i'm going turbo but i think that 4-1 will make your car raspier...it also depends if you would like to launch more or accelerate longer

i put a header on my tC and at the time i had no cat or resonator on the midpipe as they were removed some time ago..

it didnt sound too bad with my custom magnaflow set up, but it was kinda raspy..

what i did was add a 30" magnaflow resonator and that took away SOME of the rasp, i still would have some at like 2000-3000 RPM and after taht it would be gone.. but since im at 2500-3000 most of the time it was annoying..

so waht i did was add a magnaflow hi-flo cat and the rasp is COMPLETELY gone.. or so i think ;)

but for your car..i would powdercoat the wheels maybe?

why don't you work on engine cooling...get the greddy air diversion panels, or switch coolant over to 50/50 water and water wetter.....30 degrees cooler, and overall more consistent performance!
