Just got a Cherry Bomb Vortex (2.5 in/out) installed w/ the stock piping and needless to say I liked it better stock. I can feel the performance gain but it sounds a bit ricey and can't hear the engine rev anymore. My 6spd Celica's tanabe exhaust sounded deeper!

My question is, would 3 inch piping aft of the muffler and/or before make a difference in sound or am I just wasting my money.

Performance Mods: S/C, Deckplate, IPT

 

you would probably be just wasting your money, it's a Toyota, i am still to hear a stock toyota engine that sounds like anything but ricer. Sorry to disappoint you.

 

Flowmaster would sound a bit deeper, but its not too much of a performance muffler.

 

give the packing some time to break in

 

I had a 2.2 camry with 2.25 inch piping (header back) with a moroso spiral flow and a magnaflow striaght through muffler. that was pretty much the best sounding toyota (stock 4banger wise) that I've heard. I'm not sure how close to that the truck could sound, but i probably have a clip of it somewhere if your interested.

 

It's not stock, S/C and deckplate gave it a deeper throatier sound. I've heard nice sounding taco exhausts, was hoping for a sort of hollow/deeper tone...not farty.

I was thinking it would probably improve over time, I'm not going to chop it off anytime soon. Do you have the vortex?

I'd like to hear the clip, Tks.

 

Mine was quite deep. Just too loud.
