But anyway, I measured the lowest part of the stock exhaust, and with the TRD springs settled, there was 5 inch clearance. With the Injen, I measured 4.5 inch clearance. Not bad. Plus, since that part is right below the axle, as long as you go over bumps straight, the exhaust should clear no problem. If you go over crocked, I'm not sure, but it won't be much different then stock.
One thing, though, while I was driving around testing out my new exhaust, it started smelling funny. I'm assuming it's just the new exhaust burning stuff off, and I think I remember someone mentioning it, but if anyone can reasure me, I'd appreciate it.

not a problem, I am a pack rat with EVERY SINGLE digital file that I download or get somehow. its so easy for me to find a spot and leave it there. and my love of getting a lot of hard drive space keeps me from running out of room. gotta love the 300gb externals!

Sound Clip: TRD exhaust AW header K&N and custom mid pipe:
http://media.putfile.com/file11168
Just remember that a TRD with a custom mid pipe is a cat back system. When you buy any axel back it still has up-front restrictions...hence why the TRD does not post HP numbers like a cat back. Also do any of these cars have a header as that makes all sounds change....after putting a header and s on my TRD I had to spend like $250 to quite it back down with resonators.

draxas has been extremely busy and the president as been flying all around the country, back and froth from the west coast to east. I will be assisting him here on the forums, so if you guys have any other questions reguarding draxas, feel free to ask me.
ill keep ya updated on it, and will start a new thread when my exhaust arrives

Dude...If that was 3k rpm, then that was just as quite as the stock exhaust system, if not quieter. Guess preferences amongst people. I want to be heard when I blow the doors off the local ricers.

Wow..really! Didn't know you were running cat-less. I am the opposite. I have no res and left the cat (at least until the turbo goes on). If I were to take the cat out, I would be even louder. I have vids of my exhaust on here too.

I really like the way the TRD exhaust sounded, but then again it's only an axle-back. I really wish everyone did an acceleration run with the defferent exhausts, would have made it an easier choice and one could get to hear what they really sound like. Oh well, I think I'm going to wait and see what Dezod comes up with when they release their turbo kit and exhaust system.
