Default Poor Man exhaust...

Alright so... I just bought my 2011 Scion tC2... was thinking of throwing a Thrush Turbo on it.

(was at AutoZone and saw it, looked it up and I like it) is it doable and how?

Just go have a muffler shop cut out your muffler and weld the thrush up.

You get what you pay for. sounds like a waste of time, you'd probably be downgrading your exhaust system.

yes!

the stock exhaust ALREADY sounds great, but it is just a little quiet. open her up some more by removing the stock resonator. if that is too loud, replace it with a 10 inch resonator. any muffler shop will have these. total cost for the work that will be done.. 60-80 with the new resonator! shouldn't take them longer than an hour..

i for one removed both the resonator AND the secondary cat and replaced them with a small resonator and it sounds better than most exhaust! i had posted a video, if you are curious, i could post it up.

i also bought a tip for my stock muffler and it looks great..

I spent 700 on my Descendant exhaust, and that video sound pretty awesome for 100 bucks.

ive been looking everywhere for this, can you post a picture or something on how to take off the resonator, i dont want to break something and if you take it off, is it reversible to put it back on?

unsungfate I noticed you're in CA too what do you do when it's time to smog surely this doesn't pass our strict emissions does it? Does this setup affect your low-end throttle response at all?

I just had a magnapak put in and it sounds nice may remove the stock cat and resonator later but learning from my tc1 things start to sound like ___ if you chose the wrong things to change etc...

Sounds nice, but I would rather buy a cat back and not chop up the exhaust of a brand new car still under warranty :/
