Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior TRD Kazuma Exhaust?

should i get one? hows the proformance? wat DB will it reach at 3000 or when its at idle?

It is the best-performing exhaust available but pays the price in decibel output...

ur mos def gonna get pulled over sooner or later.. but its a nice performing exhaust... go for it if you are careful around cops

...i got it and its real loud...real loud, but the gain you feel is hard...meaning once you hit lift it pulls pret-ee hard...yeah its loud but its supposed to b that way...its a straight pipe w/ a tip at the end...fell in luv from day 1...just gotta b careful not to show it off every-now-n-then...normally i shift around 3-3 1/2 and even then its real deep...once you start climbing the rpm's you could hear that mo-fo from like 5-6 blocks away...but i think its the best xhaust you could get without customizing it...

is it only for gts?

how dose it compare to an unbolted exhuast/

is the kazuma exhaust only for gts?

its very very loud but its cheaper than the regular trd & stuff.

it also involves welding & cutting though so the price kind of evens out on the install unless you are mechanically inclined.

it is the best performing exhaust though

dont get it i had it , its to loud cops fuck with you.

Anyone have a sound clip of it?

go your airport and listen for airplan :x

^^^ hahah

so its better than TPR?

^you can't compare apple with orange. kazuma is a cat-back system. meanwhile TPR is still an axle-back system. if i remember correctly, FL is pretty strict about noise...

I've said it before and i'll say it again.

Get a Kazuma and you'll have a cops attention faster than a roadside donut shop.

Its the same sound you'd get from running a straight pipe without a catalytic converter. It is NOT legal in any of the 50 states. It is specifically made for drag only (and maybe offroad, I couldn't see the applicability though).

It reaches well above 100 dB. TSRM only hits 94 dB.

^Hah, TRD is only 88...

i would have gotten one, but i didnt wanna mess with the cutting and stuff involved so i got the regular trd exhaust.. couldnt be happier.

Yes indeed, i KNOW its loud. but my qeustion is will it fit a GT?

id like to know too. ^^^

besides you can get a silencer for it. . . ill post a pic in a sec.

here it is with a silencer. . .

thanx blkceli. ne one else who knows if the Kazuma will fit a gt?

i wanna get one too. i love loud exhausts and im always careful around cops so ill be cool. i just need to know if its gonna fit on my damn car.(GT)

Yea why cant someone answer the question about if it will fit a gt and also what db would it be if the silencer is in it?

im not sure about the db with the silencer.

ne1 know how much whp it adds?

20 horses

i wanna know if ill be able to go back to stock from it.

YES !!! It fit on GT !! When you buy it, just choose GT, then it will be fine. Go to www.intensepower.com [intensepower.com] they have it

nice, but i think imma get it from trdsource.com for $340

You live in cali and your gunna try to get away with this exhaust?

Yeah right. And your CAI added 15hp.


Unbolt your exhaust. That's what it's like.

i can get away with it no problem in cali.

but thats for GTS isnt it?

Unless ur taking this to race track only. Then yes you can , other wise , no fucking way in hell it does not sound like any exhaust you have heard. IT sounds like car with no exhaust but louder. Just when you start the car you will make people jump 6 feet when it starts... When you drive people can here you comming 5 blocks away..."so no sneaky time to the gf's house"...It scream PLEASE PULL ME OVER GIVE ME A TICKET you will get pissed off driving and hearing the sounds... please buy advil... forget about bumping your beats...even if you got a nice system that shit is louder... but yah i wouldn't know all this because i never had it installed on my celica before... and btw i silencer does jack shit other then make you drill a hole in the exhaust...

i saw a vid clip. it was loud .. but not like how YOU explained it. it sounds very good and it had a loud but deep tone to it.

is the kazuma a bolt on exhuast cause i cut my pipe behind the cat and replaced with 2.5 pipe to muffler. Now i want to go with kazuma, think it will still work??? Thanks

yeah i think it would work with the kazuma^^^, im getting it for sure i decided.

i called them today to make sure and they said it would fit a GT so im ordering from them on monday.

r ne of these mentioned exhausts legal i want 1 lol

hahah, no way in hell are they legal. but neither is the one i have right now and it hasnt stopped me yet.

...

video clip of kazuma ^^^

Yes it will fit a gt, its not a bolt on, so it will fit either.

yeah im ordering mine tommarow, i just hope it doesnt cost a lot to install.

^^^^SWEET...CAREFUL THOUGH...

ppl dont listen so whats the price ur gunna sell it for in the FS forum?

i wont end up selling it, i barely see a cop once a week, because i live in a nice neighborhood, i dont think ill have any problems with it as long as i keep it on the DL when not racing.

I'm selling my Kazuma guys... buy it now!!!

$275 shipped.

brand new?

No, it's used.

why you selling?

urs is made to fit a gts though isnt it? i gotta gt

It'll fit on GT and GTS... ppl have said this already.

do you have any pics of it? i wanna see what condition its in.

n00b question:

What is meant by 'unbolt your exhaust'?
Or more specifically, how is it done, and can you put it back to normal?

hey lightning gts i'll buy your exhaust. What kind of condition is it in. Got pics

Is there a way to put some sort of remote silencer on it? something you cna switch on and off? i've heard of something like this before, just wonderin if something similar could be applied.

n00b answer:
TRD Kazuma is a catback exhaust. The exhaust literally bolts on to your cat, which is how most of the exhuasts for the celica work. You could bolt it on or unbolt it, you just have to be able to get under your car.


You can put the resonator in. That will quiet it down a bit. The reason people won't buy Kazuma is because they're too fucking loud!!! You buy it, you have to expect it to be loud. If you don't like it, get another exhaust. As far as remote silencers, i've never heard of them. Even so, it wouldn't do much to quiet this monster!

noob answer: bolt on is only for axle back exhausts such as stock and most after market exhausts, the kazuma is a catback exhaust system that is running stright pipe, with the kazuma only option is welding because it connects to your main pipe towards the engine.

^

umm the kazuma does give you 20hp at crank, this hp number is from TRD with ECU tuned.. many people confuse the kazuma to be just some axle back but it isnt its a cat-back exhaust and illegal.. it will give you the most gains, it is nothing like unbolting your stock exhaust

This is a decent list of the top exhausts startin with the most gains:
1) TRD Kazuma (offroad use only)
2) TPR Exhaust
3) TRD Exhaust (street legal)
4) Tanabe Ultra Medallion

i love my Tanabe Ultra Medallion

...i luv my kazuma...

should be seeing mine in the mail sometime next week.

had to bring this back up because im getting it on moday.

does anyone know what the db limit is in washington state for exhaust

i have no clue but i got my kazuma today, and im getting it installed tommarow.

i can't wait to get kazuma

Forgot about the straight pipe. Most aftermarket exhuasts are bolt-on. I was confusing Kazuma with the traditional TRD kit.

when are you getting it? im going crazy from waiting to get it in tommarow.

Do you still have it?
