Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) i don't have to worry about smog until next year, so i'm just trying to make it so my exhaust doesn't sound like diarrhea under acceleration. sorry about the analogy, try driving with it LOL. i have no idea how i passed emissions here with an effed up flexpipe. i've got the complete oem replacement from the cat back from walker. only reason i'm sticking with it is because i get free mufflers for life (plus labour). it's been 6 mufflers since 1994 that this car's had for free lol. but if i can change to a complete GT-S exhaust (since it's apparently an upgrade) for cheaper than fixing my flexpipe, heck why not.
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) Oh I can relate to the diarrhea driving car lmao. 6 mufflers since 94!!!! I've had one! haha no wait probably 2 different mufflers throughout the life time of the car. I'd say its an upgrade, go for it. Is it a twin tip at the ends?
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) the last one was, unfortunately it was rusted through. i'm trying to figure out if the oem muffler for GE's came with twin tips whereas FEs came with one. lol.
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) Yeah, the FE's did come with one, I see now. I only have one. I saw a Celica a while back, with twin tips and it looked real nice all chromed out and very sporty no ricer stuff. Must've been a GE. Can anyone clarify that GE's came with twin tips? I'm guessing 165s are twin tips as well. Only FEs are one?, which being the weakest engine in the 3S line up!
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) Well mine certainly drives like one :/ I didn't we had that carb in our 3s line up. Did it come with the lighter early 4th gen frame?
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) Not sure which OEM GT-S muffler I bought, but I do know it's not a bosal. I put chrome bolt-on tips on mine to make it look better but, if you do anything like this paint the muffler black first :cheers
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) Confirmed, the 3SGE and 3SGTE both have twin tip mufflers. I thought OEM mufflers were made by Bosal.
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) Then I also have a factory muffler....always kinda wondered about that... Kinda has a different sound to it...more like a muzzle than a muffler...Been thinking about finding a muffler that looks the same with a little sportier type sound to it...
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) I really wanted those twin tips when got my exhaust pipe/muffler replaced, ehhh but hey, I'll just save up money for my future ventures when I'm really gonna get down and dirty with the car.
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) if anyone has oem FE and a GE, anyone want to see if the GE muffler fits the rest of the FE piping? if it does i'm punching a hole into my oem FE to get another replacement LOL
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) Shoot, I just junked a rusty OEM mid-pipe section and muffler last night from my GTS :ack2
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) GE's come with twin tips. DANG people, I'm still on my first exhaust! 0_0
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) Yeah, would've been good just for his test fit. Some aftermarket mufflers come with twin tips too. I bought a Walker twin tip for my 89GTS a few years ago.
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) must be the snow/salt on the roads on not so protected metal :aargh
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) yep or vehicle was parked on grass alot and/or for a while. I'd rather battle rust that cali emissions though :hehe
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) Oh I forgot to ask you what wheels you bought? Enkei RPF1's? I think that style suits 4th gens well :thumbsup:
Re: eNtrax's 162 GT (3s-fe, Auto) they're replicas unfortunately, but my friend has guessed that they're Racinghart CP-035R replicas 16x7
