Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior TRD exhaust installed. Pics included.

Ok. Just got my exhaust installed today. Just love it. It's perfect. There is one thing that is bogging me though. Maybe you guys can tell me if it's ok. On the last pic that I've circled it's where the muffler meets the pipe. I've used the factory screws like I should be and there is a gap on both side. The nut is screwed in all the way to the thread of the bolt. It will not go anymore. Is this ok? Suppose to be like this? Please someone assure me thanks.

looks great!
the gap is normal.

ONly problem I had was that on my bolts, there were two rings, because of which I couldn't thighten them far enough.
I had them taken off and then it worked fine, still had a gap though.
Don't worry

look's good!!!!

you will hear it if its leaking

thanks. I thought I got a wrong kit or something. If its normal than it's alright. I test drove it danmn I sure can feel the difference in power. As of sound wise can't really tell the difference from stock(which I like). After around the block and I could smell the new exhaust burning smell. Definetly worth what I paid for. Recommend to everyone.

Congrats! TRD Exhaust owns It'll get louder after you drive it for a few days.

I have had my TSRM on for about a month now. It seems like it gets louder each day. Your going to like TRD, show us some pics of your whole car again. I think you got a great ride comming along. Great job you seem to be doing everything right for this car.

very nice!! your car is great!

very nice, just make sure the screws are in all teh way cause when i lost one of mine and my exhaust got really loud then i realized there was a leak lol so i jsut got some from home depot
