Exhaust on automatic.

[djblu3]

I drive a 2000 GT Auto and was planning to get an exhaust system. I was googling on other forums and I've found people saying this...

"There should be a law against exhaust systems on automatic transmission cars.
Just my opinion. The car sounds great when you are in park reving it... but in auto drive the transmission shift points just kills the sound potential."

Is this true?

My stock exhaust is brown and rusty so thats why I'm replacing it with a performance exhaust system. Met some one on the forums who's going to sell me a greddy evo2.

[Ryousuke]

it basically adds an annoying boomy sound that stays almost constant since our auto trans likes to upshift way too early & never downshift when you want it to :(.

I personally decided against getting an exhaust. The only thing you are gaining is an annoying drone on the highway as well as hysterical laughs from other drivers when they see the "GT" badge and realize you have an auto after they annihilate you by 40 car-legnths in a 1/8 mile stretch. You won't gain any power from an axle-back. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a moron & has no dyno sheets to back it up. A cat-back however MIGHT give you a hp or two, but most of the exhaust I see are just axlebacks & don't replace the tubing.

Meanwhile you lose your ability to hear, ~$300 and your reputation as a good neighbor. You also lose your dignity after getting pwnd on the highway every other day by bone-stock economy cars ;) lol. After wasting the money on an AUTO GT you will eventually lose more money on doctor's visits, depression medication & you'll probably eventually kill yourself. That might happen only if you haven't already gained enough common sense to realize that AUTO GT's ARE SLOW and WILL NEVER BE FAST SO DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY TRYING TO MAKE THEM FAST!!!11ONE

i have the rsr ex mag on my auto gts.. sounds good to me, but i drive in manual mode all the time, plus end of january im converting to a 6 speed so... thats just my opinion

[Greener]

Don't do it. The best thing to do with an automatic is a) sell it or b) invest in looks and sound system.

[Rombomb420]

Don't listen to these clowns. I've got an auto GT-s with a greddy Evo 2 exhaust & I think it sounds pretty damn hot, especially when it hits lift. The Evo 2 is not loud or offensive enough to bother your neighbors, it just has a nice tone to it, I can hear fine over it. I don't know what the GT will sound like but go for it man. & don't let anyone tell you your car's a pos either when MWR's pulling the #'s they are out of an automatic. :fawk:

[SquareEnix]

^And how many racers do you attract to your auto gt-s :chuckles:

[Rombomb420]

People do wanna race, I won't lie. It's not as bad as you all think on this board, especially from a roll at 25 or 55 mph. Some broad ( I think driving her bf's car ) demanded I race her in her D-motor civic with guages last night. I think she didn't know how to focking drive or something was up with the car she was in but I still whooped her by like 3 cars up to about 80 mph. :gap:

I've raced everything from late 60's chevy novas to a new ferrari ( now THAT was beyond embarrassing ) in my celica. Sure, most of the time I lose, it's still a lot of fun. At least I can take a Scion TC.

Either way, there's a fartcan on EVERYTHING these days. Don't smash the poor kid's dreams of spewing out rice while he's going down the road. :puke:

[lVlemphizStylez]

A d series civic should beat you too in manual...I don't think I've driven a 17 second car in a long time...Slowest car in our garage does a low 14 lmao (Mom's camry)

[peeper06]

Don't do it. The best thing to do with an automatic is a) sell it or b) invest in looks and sound system.
I don't know why you guys are always telling everyone to sell their auto's. Yeah their slow and you guys think they make celicas look bad, but he never said anything about wanting to gain hp or anything. He just needs a replacement exhaust.

My friends got a D series civic (not sure if it's auto or manual) and ran a 17 or 18 at the track I think. We decided he'd be a good match for me. :gap:

WORD YOU GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF MORONS, Newcelica never stops amazing me with feebleminded members. get an evo2 I have one one my auto gt I also have cams I/H and emanage ultimate I made about 142 to the wheel, car stock dynod @ 122 whp. eitherway a celica 1zz or 2zz auto or manual is not a fast car, and most people will laugh just because you own a celica. get the exhaust, not every car in the world with exhaust is a manual.

Bunch of phucking morons

[jlitman]

Considering most axleback exhaust systems for the Celica add a whopping 2-4 whp (on a GT-S), I say get whatever exhaust you like.

[Dasher17]

I've got a simialr situation. I have a honeycomb in my exhaust so i need to get a new one before inspection in january. I figure if i HAVE to replace it I may as well use some christmas money and get something that sounds nice. Greddy was my second choice next to TRD.

IMO, the Greddy EVO2 sounds awesome -- nice deep tone, much more so than the TRD kit. Theres lots of sound clips floating around.

[scarface]

Yea what everybody needs to know is a celica is NOT a race car. The sooner people accept that the happier we will all be. If you ever get your ass handed to you by a 3/4 ton diesel with a lift kit and running 37s or bigger chances are your not driving a race car. lol

If somebody with auto GTS wants to do something about being slow check out ipttrans.com and the tranny is the U240E. But again theres no real point having a trans for the track and stock motor, you going to need FI, and possibly NOS to get some decent times, in other words better have deep pockets. Best bang for the buck just get a V8. (Mustang, Camaro, GTO). Alot easier and cheaper to build american muscle. Im just rambling off topic.

Me i got an auto gts, I hate it, trying to sell it, and find a 6spd gts, a rsx-s, 07 - 08 civic SI and call it a day, and enjoy the fact that the cars reliable looks good and fun to drive. But dude with the auto GT that exhaust will be decent (try not to go to big of diameter pipes as what u got b/c your motor needs a certain amount of backpressure) and just make sure you get a decent muffler and it will be all good and Im not sure if a high flo cat comes with that kit, but please do not just cut it out, it will sound like asss.

Im out.

[Rombomb420]

I'll smash most any d series civic unless it's boosted, I've done so to at least a handful of them. I don't know what the gauges were for, could've been a nitrous setup with an empty bottle, the car was deadly slow. A friend of mine has one with upgraded clutch, intake, header, port n polished head & decat exhaust & I'm still faster, altho it's pretty damn close from a dig & he's got me beat 0-60.

I think the 1/4 times you look at with the auto gt-s are probably just punching it with no mods & not using the M-mode shifting. I can tell you right now I can get through the 1/4 in less than 17 seconds bro. ;) Less than 16 too. I'm not sayin that's fast, I'm just sayin. Take away the crappy 60 ft times from the auto & it will hang. From a roll I just do not get embarrassed by other 4 bangers unless they are boosted or it's something like the new Si which owned me the other day. :bang:

When I turbo this damn thing & get a high stall TC the car will hang with all the boosted rice rockets that are running that 6-7 psi range. Autos are not unusable with the 2zz platform. The addition of the Vmanage if it ever comes out or the brashboy pfc would ultimately make all that work correctly. I'm not sure which route I want to go yet.

Bottom line:

It's your cash dude. You can't take it with you when you die, fart it out the back end of your ride. I'm not sure I'd pay that much for a used Evo 2 tho. I got mine used for $250 shipped off a member when I first got the car last spring. I think they are around $300 brand new now, maybe less on Ebay. I agree with Jlitman tho, I love the way it sounds. Check into it.

At least I can take a Scion TC.

your auto gts cannot take a scion TC. unless you have some sorta stall converter and supercharger and the tcs stock then yes you will. but stock for stock youll get ass-raped for sure.

Yea what everybody needs to know is a celica is NOT s race car

tell mwr that and go to every 4 cyc website and inform them that as well. funny when people say this cause when civics came out, they werent "race cars" either. hmmmm

you have got to be kidding me......your auto GTS will not reach 15s even with bolt-ons i dont see this happening at all, ever in this life time. most people with stock 6speed gts run 15s at the track, what in the world makes u think your auto gts which is slower then a 5speed gt will run 15s?

auto celicas are gonna require alot of money to be made "quick" and even more money to reach the "fast" mark
however people like jiltman and sad to this but emotart *cough* are working on the autos reaching there power levels. emos auto gt beat a 300zx before he finished up his build. jiltmans auto gts is looking to be very strong when its all said and done. but these guys have alot invested. not just some crappy bolt-ons and a wish. give me a break.

Hes right to a point the celica or any car for that matter besides evo sti and elises are not race cars but can be turn into one, just like any other.

please show me some cat-backs for a celica?



Apparently you are the moron and can't read. Pretty much all the celica-specific exhausts are axle-backs and don't increase the power worth a damn. I've seen plenty of people claiming to have CUSTOM catbacks on this forum though, so saying "no catbacks exist" is moronic & ignorant in its own right.

Theres a thing called crush-bent/mandrel bent tubing + aftermarket mufflers and welders.



Either way, this thread = WIN. I love seeing automatic GTS (and GT) owners trying to warrant spending $1000 on mods to increase the power by 5-10hp....and claiming their GT's dyno at 140whp when stock GT's dyno about 15-20hp less than a 5-speed. ROFLCAKES

But please continue...this is golden!

[detasemen88]

i have tried 2 exhausts so far, the Tanabe Ultra Medallion and currently the Apexi N1 Exhaust on my auto GT-S, the Apexi is a bit louder than the Tanabe, and have deeper tone, so i like my Apexi better....

keyword you wrote was custom asshat. and most people who get a custom exhaust dont get no **** cat-back due to the location of the cat, they get it from the header back. i have this one my white celica. theres no aftermarket cat-back.

This is funny. It's awesome too, these are my favorite threads. To all the haters, there's too many quotes to copy & paste.

Look, maybe you should come out to Lake County IL sometime. There's Scion TC's everywhere around here & I have not ran into a single one that can take me. Sorry to dissapoint all you auto GT-s muckrakers, but the car actually isn't as slow as you all think. Trust me, the last thing I need is a stall converter or (cmon, please gimme a damn break) a SC to own a scion, so quit holding the damn thing's nuts. By the time I get through 2nd gear lift there's close to a car length on them everytime.

Questions:

How many auto Gt-s have any of you driven?

How many times have any of you raced a scion TC or any other car in an auto GT-s?


That should end the whole discussion of Auto GT-s > TC. Cuz it is, & the scion driver who held my nuts askin me if I have turbo after my lift kicked in & whooped him is all the proof I need. Your mouth dynos don't mean anything. :gap:


Also, this ain't no dream over here about getting boosted. I got a real good deal on a slightly used turbo kit. Hopefully come tax time & some more accessories like (maybe)that brashboy PFC, (definately) a high stall TC & some mahle pistons, I'll be competing with Jlitman for the fastest auto-gts on the board outside of MWR & their beast.

Okay, first off, I don't believe you. So prove all of this...

Show us your time slips, dyno sheets, and mod list.

I've got an auto gt-s, and I don't believe that you can get into the 15s with it without nos, sc or a turbo. mid-16's maybe, but not 15's.

[Rombomb420]

SRI & Evo 2 exhaust at the moment. That's it.

I won't vouch for the timeslips, I just have a hard time believing the thing can't touch 15's, 16's just seem awful slow. I've never bothered to take the thing to the track yet. All I know is I own scions. :gap: What do they run in the 1/4? Do they have more guts than the celica past 80 mph to the point where they could surpass more than a car length? Doubtfull.

[importfreak8]

a SRI is a crack useless mod and your evo exhaust isnt helping you claim victory either. ive had run ins with tcs at the track up in nashville and our race would be close till 3rd then id begin to pull. he had i/e i had i/unbolted exhaust. i just dont see your auto GTS with those mods beating a tc unless they just couldnt drive to for ****, even then i dont see it happening. tc is good for 15s id guess?

[lVlemphizStylez]

I just have a hard time believing the thing can't touch 15's, 16's just seem awful slow.

Believe it...an auto GTS is awful slow...It must be that exhaust giving you the impression of speed...

[Rombomb420]

Once again, all I can say is that I haven't run into a scion yet that I haven't owned.

& if you think that SRI wasn't an improvement over the stock airbox, especially in lift, you're the one on crack. :gap:


I had to bring my car in for an alignment, there's a possibility my torque converter may have some issues, so someone may get to experiece the wrath of my high stall converter sooner than I thought. :wiggle:

[Dasher17]

thats all depends on your level of altitude. I ran a 16 flat last fall 40 degrees at mir with just I/E/H and tuned emange. so yes it is possible. I haven't gone back since I got the cams and had the car retuned, and I have an auto GT. Most of you are magazine racing off of times you've seen, but dude is right if you haven't driven an auto gts or his auto gts you are talking out your ass. all cars run differently dont shot your mouths off you'll sound stupid.

[kennyz]

Life's not a race. Stfu.

Get an aftermarket exhaust, it sounds nice. Though you'll notice it a lot more on a GT-S.

[VoodooTRD]

I had two buddies with a manual GT and a auto GT-S. When they went on the quarter mile track my buddy with the manual GT would always win the races against the auto GT-S. Both cars had similar mods I/H/E. The GTS was doing low 17's and GT was around 16 seconds.

The reason why I believe the auto GTS is so slow is that from when it shifts to 1st to 2nd in auto mod or M mode it just drops down 4500 rpm when it shifts from 1st to 2nd and takes forever just to get in Lift. The gears are just too long on a GT-S. Toyota should of made them been at least a 5 speed auto or 6.

[Rombomb420]

May as well add that I've also been using that polydyn tx-7 engine treatment that boosted dyno'd out on swingfixer's car at +4whp & +4 wtq. I highly recommend it, the car idles a lot smoother & quieter & my butt dyno tells me it pulls harder now.


Also my shifts usually land around 5k rpm & I always use 93 octane fuel. Not sure how much difference this makes to the scions I keep passing.... ;)

I will agree tho, I always find myself wanting one more gear.

Honestly, Im sick of people getting up on their soapbox when they dont know what the f'ck theyre talking about, and cant spend a minute to Google "celica catback" before posting that there arent any non-custom catback exhaust systems, among other things.

Uninformed retailers selling an axle back as a cat back does not make the exhaust a cat back. Kazuma is the only known cat back out there.

sooooooo which exhaust is best for him?

[ninjadrummer89]

hahaha this thread was very entertaining

rombom, im sorry, but i must agree with everyone on here... your car will never be fast and you should sell it and give up right now if you think it will be

[vmedia]

And this is the reason im keeping my gt stock until its paid off and i can get another car. :thumbup: Except that I have a strong urge to upgrade my factory 15'' wheels.

Although I love the reliability and looks of it just as much as the next guy. :p

Hmm but back on topic- Do what youd like, im sure it would sound decent if your just looking for a 'sportier' sound. But for hp gains - I wouldnt waste the money.
Search a few sound clips off of youtube and decide on what appeals to you.

good luck in finding what you want :D

This thread is still full of WIN!

Bottom line is...the auto GT is SLOW due to the transmission. Exhaust & intake gains are minimal as it is on 5-speed GT"s..but when you add in a super-economical transmission that upshifts entirely too early (unless you manually shift it)...you aren't gaining a damn thing other than a grumble from the intake under heavy throttle & a loud deep constant boom from the exhaust.

PLEASE SHOW ME A REAL DYNO of a stock GT auto that dyno's above 110whp...I've yet to see it. Meanwhile 5-speed GT's are dynoing 120-125 STOCK. With I/H/E I've seen some in the mid 140's, but I've yet to see a real dyno sheet from any auto's with I/H/E. And again...excel spreadsheets from AEM's website aren't going to cut it.

Want to replace your exhaust? I'm not going to keep you from paying extra for a axleback exhaust. If you want the sound, great! If you want power gains...don't waste your money & just get an OEM exhaust, sell the car & get something else (its much harder to sell a car if you customize it, especially if it has a loud-ass exhaust).

Alright yall suck
poor kid only came on to the forums
saying his muff is wasted and needs a new one
he asked what would be a good one to get
i mean he has to get something it would be illegal to just rip the daam thing off
>.>
he never asked which one will make my car go zip zop zipity bop

can we stop beating this to a bloody pulp http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/images/smilies/deadhorse.gif

[whities gts]

Don't do it. The best thing to do with an automatic is a) sell it or b) invest in looks and sound system.
very true!!!

First of all you aren't agreeing with everyone. You are agreeing with the majority, which is fine. Sheep. :fawk: To say an automatic will never be fast, well, that's just ignorance my man! Jlitman's got what should be an easy 13 second car. MWR has a focking beast of an auto. Just put it to rest already. Auto bashing is totally passe & it's a thing of the past. Yeah it costs a few $$'s to upgrade your torque converter, so what? Most guys spend the same amount on upgraded clutch & flywheel setups. You can't take it with you, like I said before. It's all about what you want, same thing goes for kid's exhaust who started the thread. Rock whatever the f*ck you want & don't worry about what the haters think.

It's too late for any going back now. There's no way I can get my money back out of the car at this point anyways, it's been rear ended twice since I bought it. :closed:

[lVlemphizStylez]

lol I don't think you've driven anything faster than your celica...Anyone that has would step into an auto GTS and know it's a 17 second car from driving it

[jordan71]

this is pretty much a broken record of a thread :violin:

[Rombomb420]

Right I never drove a '95 formula firebird or '96 ram air trans am when they first came out. I also never drove a built 79 camaro or a 79 formula firebird with a built tranny... ;)

This was years ago tho, I had an SUV for about 6 years before I got my celica last spring, so I forgot what fast feels like I guess. I just won't have people bashing the car when it has just as much PROVEN potential as the 6 speeds with a proper F/I & tranny setup.

word..this auto bashing has got to stop. you are right the same money you put in an auto tranny for a T converter and valve body is the same you will spend for a good flywheel, clutch plate, short shifter etc.

any one that has stepped into a celica period should know its not a fast car reguardles the tranny MStylez. I can tell you from driving an IS350 that your 6 spd GTS will not beat it an its an auto(6 spd auto).

MWR has done some very impressive stuff with an auto tranny so why are we still discussing how an auto sucks. its just like a 5 or 6 speed you upgrade that so why cant you upgrade an auto tranny. besides the fact that 90 percent of pro drag racing teams run race built auto trannies. Hell they even have some autos that race in SCCA curcuits.
