Duh, yes LoL! Come on 1sik you know all this stuff! 2 1/4" OD pipe is 2 1/4" OD pipe!
Just drop the car off at Sean's for a few days.
The only thing ready-made on the aftermarket is going to be the TRD exhaust (Quiet Borla muffler).
Borla Pro XS muffler with a spiral flow muffler (resonator), or a steel glasspack. Delete the cat if possible, otherwise swap to the largest high flow/big pipe cat you can find.

& have someone make a new y-pipe for ya. y-pipe doesn't really change much sound wise, but there's a more bark over 5,000rpm where it makes a good power difference!




I promise you, you can buy 10' of 2 1/2" pipe at a Lowes / Home Depot for $12usd. Then you just need a muffler, resonator & clamps/welder. Clamps suck, welding is better! Even a $100 cheap FCAW will do exhaust pipe just peachy. Then you can re-ebay it.






BTW make sure whatver anyone puts on has a resonator. Otherwise it'll just degrade into some form of raspy engine.

Anything for the Gen 3 Camry should fit. I'm not sure how much Gen 4 is. Just from viewing my neighbors they dont look that far off. I have never seen a bolt up aftermarket exhaust for Gen 3 Camrys. Maybe find a used Gen 4 Camry or Gen 1 Solara to see if it fits. Or just buy is and have the hangers moved around.

I'll PM you some info ona good sale going on.

Pheonix is right about the resonator thing. I did 2.5" custom piping from the cat and removed the resonator... it sounds like doodoo at 2-3k rpm (imo). Right now I'm waiting for my resonator from Ebay.

oh btw, I have an universal Apexi World Sport 2 exhaust.

Don't worry Juan. You're the rage of Toyota Nation then.
No1 ever listens to me that the v6's need a pre-muffler. Not really for sound, just to keep it from rasping out. Doesn't really matter what kind, even the shortest glasspack will do it!
