Exhaust Replacement 93 3vz - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

***Gothmog3VZ*** · 10-06-2009, 05:07 PM

Hey guys
anyone know of a parts-supplier who carries (preferably sports-oriented)exhaust parts, and ships to Canada? So far I tried eBay and Craigslist, no luck

Looking to replace the entire system, from headers to the muffler
It's for a 1993 V6 5-speed (If that helps

)

performance parts will have to be sourced from multiple places. no one makes a (good) catback for teh gen3. youll have to make it yourself so universal parts will be best(mufflers resonators, cat, piping). as far as headers and Y pipe, im not sure rockauto has performance parts but OBX is the brand to go with and ebay has them the cheapest. however im not sure if the obx headers and Ypipe will fit on the 3vz. they should but dont quote me.

Ah, that would explain a lot
I did find a Bosal kit on Andy's Auto Store, but it seemed a bit steep for a cat-back...

Is there any way to verify the fitting of the OBX? Because I think that would be the best option if it works, but I don't want to wind up with a set of incompatible headers...

***Gothmog3VZ*** · 10-08-2009, 07:03 PM

the OBX headers are for the 1mz, right?

bigbird · 10-08-2009, 07:48 PM

yes for teh 1mz...but they are still FE heads which is why i think they will fit.

get a muffler shop to make everything and add your muffler. the people at JPP want 1500 for a 3vz y-pipe and its gotta be a group buy. (i mentioned that a while ago) i swear everyone hates this motor

***Gothmog3VZ*** · 10-08-2009, 10:55 PM

arg

I had just gotten my hopes slightly raised lol
I guess a custom y-pipe will be in order, along with *gasp* OEM headers

well, I guess I'll go with a universal-based setup

the oem headers arent bad. the y-pipe is what needs to go.

eh, that's a bit steep imo
although, my mechanic quoted 2200 for the parts if he was to order them, which almost gave me heart palpitations

I'm going to see if there's someone in my area who would do the y-pipe for not TOO much lol, but you're right, it's like the 3VZ is a pariah engine

whip_cracker · 10-09-2009, 12:55 AM

Soooo...

The Y pipe in the exhaust for the 3VZs are useless huh? What about replacing the cat converter with high-flow cat as well?

^^ these are NOT the JPP copied OBX headers/Y-pipe im refering to. ^^

i have these on my car and they are NOTHING like the JPP ones(but they did fit my heads perfectly fine) as it says there.

these were one off headers/y-pipe from like 4 years ago. and they had build problems, but the ones im talking about were copies of the JPP ones and are very good quality even from OBX.

the Y-pipe and cat has been found to the THE most resytrictive parts of the V6 exhaust. headers help a little but not mych...especially if your NA.

whip_cracker · 10-11-2009, 08:14 PM

Hmmm... so replacing these components will give me a few kw ay...

Nice :P Can then prob change the fart cannon to something more respectable

When I replaced my headers the muffler shop quoted me 700 bucks for just the part. I lol'd and left and bought a bosla replacement for 120 and then had it installed for cheap.
