laxdude3622 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Ok i was planning on buying a new cat back exhaust pretty soon. I was looking at this one http://www.hopupracing.com/5zbogtsecaex.html . As you can see the price is $679. Then I started looking around on lexuspros.com and I saw the torque converter which I wanted buy wasn't planning on buying it soon. The tc from lexus pros is $749. So the prices of the two are fairly close, so which one would you guys buy if those were your choices, or is there somethin better i can do for that amount of money? And o yeah and about how much would installation be for the torque converter? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxdude3622 Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 well it doesn't say how far on the website, but it seems like it would be the full thing right? or maybe i'm wrong, did you check the site out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_lee84sc Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 correct me if i am wrong but dont most cat back exhaust systems start after the first cat?? becausethe first cat is connected to the pipe that connects to the exhaust manifold right?

laxdude3622 Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 that sounds right, i don't know, i am not too knowledgeable about the whole thing, but ne ways can ne one answer my question about which one to get or if their is somethin better to do? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDOwen2 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I would guess that the exhaust would start after the second cats. Changing the converter would be labor intensive. Maybe 4 or more hours. Cheapest mod other than the BFI would be an electric fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Curious Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 guesses are never solid answers, and since the website doesnt tell, id bet hands down that it only replaces the mufflers and resonators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin L Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 the torque convertor gives you a better feel of gained power. and plus the $750 price tag from Lexus Pros is I think one of the best prices out there, I think if you were looking for more of a fun car to drive starting from idle, this is the mod you want.
