Arrow ►►►Custom 2" Catback - What next? Please help

Well, last weekend I changed all the pipeline.
I deleted the 2 catalytics, and only conserve the resonator. I replaced it whit a custom 2" catback, it's direct from the headers to the muffler.

Now the car has:
• CAI with AEM filter.
• DC Sports headers.
• Custom 2" catback.
• Magnaflow 14805 muffler.

So... What else you recommend me?

I was thinking in the Nology hot wire, but I have only read bad reviews about them.
Other option is start to invest in handling performance like springs and bars.

i'd recommend installing a catalytic converter. first, so your car doesn't smell like old wet turd. second, because it's a FEDERAL offence to not have one on public streets. if some drunk slams in to you and rolls your car, the officer might notice the missing smog devices. just because you may live somewhere emissions tests are not conducted, it's still federal law to have one. a $10,000 fine and jail time may result. third, a high flow catalyst will only effect performance about 1/2 horsepower, but will create that much needed 1 psi back pressure.
this is just a friendly warning. do what you want with your car. it's yours.
i'd recommend: porting intake manifold and installing 1zz throttle body; rear sway bar; lightweight wheels; lightweight clutch/flywheel; suspention

i had similar mods in the begining just like yours...
mine was smoother powerband after 2000rpm from exhaust system...and a slight push after 4500rpm...guess from intake? i was expecting much more..
your opinion? everybody has different butt-o-meter..😅😅😅

I'm with thebarber on both points.
Get yourself a lightweight pulley next. (Or an entire set if you wanna go all out) It will really frees up some torque, but will make the car a bit jerky, as the engine will be more responsive.
And yes, definitly put a high-performance catalytic converter on, so it doesn't reduce performance, but still conforms to regulations.

just like invader166 stated...i went with lightweight pulley right after all your mods....you will gain slight tq and faster rpm reach 😎

I think you should ditch the aem filter and get a Apex'i world filter and convert to a short ram.
DC header is good
You should have gone with a larger diameter pipe for the exhaust. You should have felt a noticeable gain from removing the cats. The stock exhaust is really restrictive.

Suspension and brake upgrades are always a good choice.

Yes, I noticed a big difference, now cutting rpm comes faster. Another change was the sound , now is very noisy, but I will install a Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator.

All comments talk about pulleys, I think that will be the next step.

Thanks, I already started to look for a high performance cat.
The 1ZZ TB is one of the most popular upgrades that generates good results. Just yesterday I bought the TRD Sway Bar and the Tanabe Tower Strut Bar.

Hahaha! My butt-o-meter tells that the slight push is above 3.5K rpm, perhaps not having the cats on.

Definitely going to install a High Performance Cat.
I think that the crank pulley NST calls me.

Without questions I'll buy the NST Crank Pulley.

I had the same thought after having installed the 2" pipe, I would have liked a 2.25".

I had a 2&1/2" custom stainless catback made from the second back straight to the muffler deleted the resonator and it came out pretty decent. I also have installed the Whiteline rear swaybar, tein coilovers, UR rear upper brace, and megan racing c pillar bar (useless I know It's just for looks lol)
I'm definitely impressed with how my car performs and I'm excited to throw on the 1zz throttle body I've had sitting in my closet for a year and a half lol

Nice sound. I had to change the OEM resonator to this one of 24".
The sound improved a lot and I did not lose the power I had gained.

That's nice! What's the inner diameter? What brand? Looking to possibly quiet mine down a little lol

The inner diameter is 2", this is custom made.
A friend recommended a vibrant, and I was about to install a Magnaflow Glasspack.

I was referred to go magnaflow I'm trying to keep an even 2.5" the full way back but I definitely need something a little quieter before I get pulled over

Keep in mind that you can lose some low-end torque if you go too wide with the exhaust diameter.

I vote for the underdrive pulley. It will also be lighter weight :-)

If you're keeping your engine NA then don't go larger than 2.25".

I decided to take the advice of a reputable and very good exhaust shop against the advice of some of the experienced YW members and I lost noticable torque. Had the shop re make a 2.25" and most of the torque came back and still has the increased top end.

That was with all the flow mods -dc header, MI intake manifold, intake, 1zz TB.

Ya mines getting boosties 😈 GT2860RS with custom tubular manifold and Haltech standalone. I'll post more on that as I progress. As for now I just have a closet full of parts just waiting on the money to purchase the rest of necessary parts.
Only reason I opted for 2.5"
