Megan racing axle back question.

[Pinchlite]

Seeing I want to order axle back within canada choices are very,very limited.

Is this a good representation of how they sound?

Thanks.

sounds like a muffler.

[Pinchlite]

Thats what I thought.Does not sound any different then my stock muffler.

I may go with this.

The medallion is way too expensive after import taxes.

i had a megan on mine....was nice and deep. added a custom 2.25" midpipe section from the back of the resonator to the axle flange that added some nice power....otherwise its all noise.

So it sounds like a raspy tin can?

I suppose the medallion is the only good exhaust made for the yaris perhaps.

I may have to take a drive to the US.

[thebarber]

lol, it wasnt raspy...just the recording.

but do what you want.

I got quote for the tanabe medallion for 486$ shipped from Quebec.

This is the company.

I may be able to pickup but still waiting back for reply.

This would bring the price lower then the Megan.

I appreciate the feedback,opinions and suggestions BTW.

Walker from your local Canadian Tire. Been referenced plenty of times on this forum.

[invader166]

Had a Medalion Touring for about 2 years and switched to a Walker unit. I like the quietness for a change, and the nice low-end power. The Touring has great exhaust note, but tends to be a bit on the drowny side at low revs.

One thing I don't find mentioned all that much is weight. I had a chance to compare the 2, and the Medalion Touring is definitly much heavier than the Walker unit. One extra thing to keep in mind when switching. :thumbsup:

[Pinchlite]

Droney,perhaps highway.Like you mentioned lower RPM'S.

This is what I wanted to avoid if possible but its hard to have your cake and eat it too as I want a nicer tone/throatier but not ricer/raspier annoying.

If not mistaken someone on this forum..or perhaps somewhere else mentioned the walkera yaris unit rusting out within a year?

The medallion is definitly a heavier unit because of thickness of construction and material used.

Thanks for the feedback and will definitly research my decision further before purchasing anything.

[thebarber]

just go custom and pick a muffler from your local shop

[Pinchlite]

Welding is $95.00 per hour.Then you still have to buy the parts and cut,bend,dry run etc.

Would end up costing the same or more more then a prebuilt axle back.

Also any local shops do not have carry mufflers that I would even consider better then stock.

[malibuguy]

The Megan muffler in their axle-back kit goes down to 1.5" on the inside.

I would not suggest it other then you want something shiney with a different tone.

I had one come in on a Yaris when I was at the other shop and I was shocked how tiny it was inside

[thebarber]

the megan was 2.25" thru...i found no restrictions.

if you're just replacing the axle section, you really won't feel any gains. i didnt feel squat until i swapped out the 1.75" section from the resonator to the axle flange with 2.25" piping...that made a noticeable difference...

Did you physically cut the pipe off the muffler & measure it?

Unless they changed things, this thing was a joke of a "performance" muffler

Felt no change in power until i added the midpipe section

In my opinion no axleback for the yaris lends power until you replace the 1.75" section of midpipe from the resonator to the axle flange

[KimmoKekki]

How much you gain on power after changing exhaust pipe and muffler ... what you think ... ?

[tarkus]

On my previous Echo HB, just for laughs, I installed an N1 style muffler. I was therefore pretty surprised to find that it made a quite noticeable difference to how the car performed in real life road driving.

For example I found that certain hills the car had struggled with before, it now took comfortably in its stride and accelerated all the way up. I am still pretty sure the horsepower number on paper, would have increased by only a tiny amount if at all, but the improved power band was really noticeable and very worthwhile. So I learnt it's not just about how much power you've got, but how the power is delivered.

[emoji1360] just like that !
1NZ-fe in T-sport configuration has awesome power band even on stock .. low end mid range feels like way bigger engine!
That is why i don't install any noise reducer on it[emoji51]
