gen3 catback option - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

bigbird · 03-21-2010, 06:01 PM

sup guys, doing a little whoring but i thought this could be good to share with the rest of the gen3 community. I went ahead and bought a Megan Racing Drift spec catback and had it mounted. for thoes of you who dont already know, this is designed for the gen4. the catback fits perfectly and only needs to have the hangers modded. if you have the equiptment then you can do this yourself. however for most of us, when removing the factory catback we need special tools to unbolt it from the cat (rusted on), so having a shop do it may be requiered anyways. this particular catback also comes with a removable silencer which significantly reduces how loud it is. to hear the full range go to my car domian page.

here are pics of what it looks like on the gen3 and what the particular shop did to mod my hangers.

they also have a less agressive (ricey) style called OE RS which would fit and require hanger modding. Im 90% sure that this fits both 4 and 6cyls but someone correct me there if im wrong.

Nice, finally got it installed huh? I demand a video!!

look at that large gaping space left from the oe muffler lol

that's a very clean install indeed. i like the tilt. looks pretty

yeah, its never thrown into it but an exhaust like this is a good weight reduction compared to the cinder block we call the stock muffler.

yeah I spotted that thread, but just didn't reply. Sounds good

, but one of the vids seems to be a duplicate of the other, you might wanna check out the link...

EDIT: my bad

I must have missed that line, I was anxious to see the exhaust setup

They funny thing is.....as big as it looks in the pic.....once you see it....it fits sooo nice with the car.....it doesnt look ridiculous like a civic or something because the car is so much bigger.......It also sounds really nice......I find it funny how other cars have an exhaust on a 4cyl and it sounds like shit......this is my 3rd setup and i have never had any disappointments......but yeah I thought it was huge until i had it put on.....

do you like it though? Thoughts......How big is yours BB? I like the red w/ the stainless....really gives it a nice look

bigbird · 03-21-2010, 07:45 PM

it looks pretty good in the pics. get some better pics of it up.

jtex2717 · 03-21-2010, 07:52 PM

How come when modded our Camrys have to look so damn cool?

NOT seeing shit like this would save me a tremendous amount of money

Bigbird, your car is IMO visual perfection. Height, color, windows, rims, lights, exhaust. Wow.

How much did this setup cost you? I can't seem to find it on ebay. My car has the same "JDM" angle (only with my muffler), but this setup is legit

EDIT: Just watched the vids. The drive by looks sped up it's so fast, damn!

bigbird · 03-23-2010, 03:56 AM

thanks man.

all told it was about 550, 425 for the catback and about 130 to have it installed. for the same shop to buil;d me one was gonna be about 650 +.
