hi i have a 1988 aussie sv21 sedan and im looking for a sporty exhaust note without breaking the budget. i have a pod filter fitted and im looking at a 2 1/4 system with a cannon muffler, any help would be much appreciated.

A sports exhaust without breaking the bank? Nup.

But if you're just looking for the sound, then:

Cheapest one i could find for a 'buy it now' price. It's cheaper than the ebay ones and is the same , except of course for the 99c ones. But you're always fighting with someone else at that price.

finding a GE manifold and other such parts isn't exactly easy here. but i agree.

I had a sports exhaust made for my one, it featured Lukey 4-2-1 extractors to a high flow 2.5" cat to a resonator then finally a 2.25" lukey super turbo muffler .

Great system, had a really nice roar to it yet didnt drone like those with a stupid big cannon on them.

It also really changed the power output of the car, engine was really willing to rev and power continued to increase past the 5.5K mark, where on a standard 3sfe was when the power started dieing out.

Hey i have a 1988 SV21 Camry aswell and i have Lukey extractors, 2 1/4" all the way through with hollowed out cat atm(haha) with a Lukey Muffler and i can certainly see the power gains and feel that it just wants to keep going so to speak haha.

How much did you get the extractors for? Was it new or 2nd hand?

Yeah the biggest drawback power wise to the 3sfe is the EXHAUST. Get a good setup going and you will have alot more power to the old 2.0 liter. I think the exhaust mods actually shift the power band into higher revs which gives you that highway staying power.

i'm wanting some performance bits for my 3sfe. but like most have said, it's an economy engine and i agree. i just want alittle more spunk out of the 'ol gal. is the basic bolt ons even worth the money?
