Re: My Other Ride is....


Hi Guys,

Was visiting my friends at Hi-Tech Mufflers today for something completely un-related to the Corolla, in fact it was to dropped off the exhaust gasket for them to start designing the headers/extractors for the T31 petrol.

Was too lazy to drive my X-Trail, so decided to take my wife's Corolla there instead emoticon

Here we're standing and discussing the ZRE Corolla and Lambros said, it's indeed a nice car and here I am trying to find a nice exhaust tip to weld it on the exhaust to pretty it up a bit, 1 hour later I drive out with a full cat. back system on the car with quad exhaust system and the kids were over the moon (and so was I). hahahahaha emoticon

Here it is (sorry, some pics been taken with my mobile at Hi-Tech shop, as I didn't have the camera with me)

Image

The factory muffler on its way to the bin. And that long section is the pipe coming from that monster resonators we have under the ZRE. I first thought it was the cat. converter, but when when we un-bolted the exhaust system and had a closer look, it was nothing but a big resonator to muffle the sound of the factory exhaust system and the cat. converter was further up. We decided to keep the big resonator in place to keep the system quiet, but it can be removed for those who like a noisier exhaust system....I don't.

Image

I decided to go with a dual exhaust set-up system, as it has been proven to free-up the exhaust a bit more and provide more power, which is what I was after, especially in the low and mid RPM ranges.

Image

We also decided to put one additional resonator on each side to make the system sound a bit more quiet but purring nice at the same time, which is exactly what happened and what was achieved.

Image

Image

On the drive back home, I was amazed at how much more responsive the car was, there was no throttle lag as I would have experienced before when trying to force it to change gears (mine is Auto) and the acceleration was simply amazing. There is definitely an increase in power that can be felt.

The system sounded very nice indeed, it doesn't drone when driving or idling at the lights and you can hear its nice purr when you drive close to barriers.

Took some pics of it when we got home:

It has certainly transformed the Rolla for sure and now that I started (un-intentionally) the performance mods on this Rolla, they gonna continue, so here comes the CAI. hahahahaha emoticon

As I said before Kev, I don't "waste" money on cars, I spend it wisely emoticon

There is a very good reason for this mod emoticon

The wife came home and saw me posting pic of the car with twins, she asked me if it was her car (having walked pass it without noticing) and I said yep, what do you think? Her answer was, they look VERY nice indeed. LOL emoticon

Let's see if she'll notice the difference when driving, although I doubt it cause she never goes past the 1,500RPM. hehehehehe emoticon

It's nice to see Hi-Tech giving all type of cars the needed attention and their system has proven itself once again to be top quality.

I can't wait to drive the Rolla a bit more tomorrow. hehehehehe emoticon

It's not chrome, it's stainless steel and this applies to the rest of the system which is stainless steel as well. I didn't pay anything (yet) as Lambros said we'll sort it out in Bathurst at the pub emoticon
