hey thinking of getting a new exhaust for my sv21 camry what size would be best suited to this car? as I have no idea on this! the exhaust I wan't ideally would be one that will give the car a slight increase in performance (though not to concered so long as it doesn't make the car gutless!) and a good fuel ecconomy and also doesn't annoy me neighbours off at 4 in the morning? (I had to sell a car over that! ) can anyone out there help me on this ?
cheers

thanks i decided to get a 2.25inch system (straight through)extractors,new cat,sports muffler and a resoner been goin around getting a few quoets (well so far three) and the best so far is $805 fitted I like compared to one mob who quoeted $1000 and when I told them I'd think about it was walking away we they asked me if i wanted them to give my car a service I felt like telling him if I wanted you to service me car I'd ask you too! bastard wouldn't let me go for like 5 minutes later!  (anyhow getting side tracked here) yeah whilst there he told me that the mob that could do it all for $805 wouldn't be as good as they reckon that cheaper extractors can corse a headache I asked a mechanic and he reckoned that they can but it shouldn't really worry it though as he said it's like its gunna be raced all the time, Is this true? I don't usally race but well I'm a young driver so to be expcted at times!  and also another place told me that for $950 it would be done properlly all flanges and stuff to stop rattles and stuff like that (wasn't really listen though) but seem to explain alot more than the others but forgot to ask him about the extractors so any how can anyone help clear this matter up? especally with all the things I'm hearing at the moment some people are saying that extractors do nothing but chew fuel and another one reckons that because it's a camry it wouldn't do nothing to it(I hate how people bag out camrys there a good car)and whilst some people say F**K YEAH DO IT MAN! has left me concerend so any info about if cheap extractors cause headaches? please reply

who ever said that it will chew more fuel is a dick head it will chew less (unless you have your foot down more )
ask the place that quoted you $800 what brand of extractors they use then tell us, also ask if theres some kind of warranty, then ask the other places the same questions see who seems the best then make your decision
remeber you pay for quality but if they are all going to use the same extractors go for the cheap one.
and ask the other places if they will use flanges
you will notice a big improvment with a full system

down here in melb i rang a registered seller of Genie headers and he quoted me $780 for a full system. 350 for the genie extractors, and 330 for the rest of the exhaust, 2.25 the whole way, and muffler too....but i didnt do it as i'm saving up for other plans
just ring up Genie and ask for their registered seller in ur state, then ask them what they can do for u....
all the best mate, good to see another SV21 dude on here
Cheers,
Huy

hey there I asked about weather they use flanges or not. all said yes. as for the extractors the place that had the cheapest quoet told me they would use lukey extractors so did another place and the dearest place said they used genine I seen another place today and they have lukey extractors as well all places have a warranty that I'm very happy with and also speaking to one bloke at one exhaust shop reckons that me camry should be loud even with the resonator but the others don't reckon it would be as I wan't the full exhaust but at the same time don't wan't to disturb the neighbours at 4 in the morning (I try to keep the peace...well sometimes!) :lol:I much appreciate the help you guys are giving me thanks and is that true about the resonator? because I thought they were meant to keep the car quiet?

Well my vague memories from when I did my whole exhaust system, I got Genie extractors with mandrel bent pipes. I ask about diameter and the exhaust guy said that since the tail of the extract is 2", you might as well have 2" all the way. I also had a hi flow cat and two resonators with a wide body turbo muffler because I wanted it as quite as possible.
When I dyno'ed my car against a comparitive stock Camry I calculated the engine was a factory rate 95Kw. At the wheel there was a 5-6kw gain on stock car.
My muffler now has a big bloody hole in it and it sounds like a V8! When I was young I thought it was cool to have a loud car but I find it embrassing having a conversation with my date in the car then to hit a hill and have a loud drone of an angry 3S-FE in the cabin.

I got my sv21 camrys exhaust done a few months ago, extractors into factory cat (which is an empty box..flows good thou) then a 2.5 inch press bent from there to the tip. One straight through resonator and a redback brand rear muffler. It was pretty cheap about $700 in total fitted I think. The headers are hi-tech brand 4-1 ($320 fitted I think) and all though they were quite cheap they appear to be well made. The car had no noticible change in fuel consumption about 9 litres to the 100K's with lots of hard driving / which is about what it got before. It is a lot louder than stock (worried me a bit a first, but I love it now.) I welded up a small simple butterfly valve in the tip of the muffler as a bit of an experiment, it is opened and closed by a door locking solenoid and a control circuit with a switch on the dash, (sounds a bit dodgey I know but cost all of 15 bucks) it actually works bloody well thou. The car is just louder than stock with it closed and all the drone at 2500RPM up steep hills in almost totally gone. with it open it has a great sound, if you are in the mood for it. It did go a bit better in a straight line with the extractors (I got them a week before the 2.5 inch cat back), With the factory cat back it had a bit more torque about 2000 and the top end seemed a bit better, no more noise at all, just a very slight sucking sound under heavy load. The 2.5 inch cat back made NO difference to performance just made it louder. I had a few drags with my mates vx commodore wagon (auto V6). With my exaust valve open he pulls away every time in every gear, with it closed we are both dead even to 120, whoever gets a better start says just in front. The reduced back pressure actually makes the car slower!!, my theory here it that the tubes in the extractors are too short, causing the exhaust pulses to only line up when they have the back pressure. Something to think about anyway. (The camry has a few other mods by the way, it wasn't always as fast as the VX). I am getting a 3sgte in it soon, already bought a GT4 halfcut. Let me know if you want the old extractors and mabye the rest of the exhaust too.

I know why the car is slower at the low revs. A 4 to 1 extractor is normally only used on track cars that can maintain high revs.
With my 4-2-1 extractor the car is slower than stock under 2000rpm but easily gets better after that.
