If you don’t have a lift, you can do the entire thing from the top. I just did otl downpipe from the top of the car, all i did from the bottom was the midpipe. Didn’t remove drive shaft or heat shielding or anything, just wiper cowl and metal bracket and wiper motor from top
thats whats in my cart aswell😁theres also another video that has been released recently by Nemtec, go give it a watch for sure, they tested many of the ones popping up on the market and quickly disregarded the MST downpipe and said it made no power and to go to OTL for the best daily, bang for your buck, durable downpipe.
MST is sending me one as well and this confirms doing this in the driveway will be borderline insane… send prayers. The sound now has that “rally” rasp to it. Sounds good!
Any rust on the midpipe ? I saw one complaint was the clamp rusting a bit. I’m installing SXTH midpipe and AWE touring on Monday. Was gonna go track edition but I’m glad I didn’t now, being in my mid 30s I want something a little less annoying lol
I'm running the Island Racewerks catless dp and just waiting to tune when Ecutek releases their remote kit. Only downside right now is always having a check engine light but I expected that.
@omegargb236 It took me a couple tries to get the flanges where the mid pipe meets the rear section to mate up correctly. I feel like the midpipe needed the additional protrusion for the donut gasket and spring bolts to go back in. Other than that, I haven't had any more issues.
@perrythomas4690 I had to deal with the same issue. Does your midpipe hit the middle crossbrace or the transaxle? Everytime I shift or drive hard I hear something contacting underneath.
@omegargb236 no I haven't had that issue. Mine cleared everything with plenty of space once I got it adjusted. I didn't have to, but if you pull the dowel pin on the turbo housing, you can "clock" the dp and play with the spacing.
If you truly want a “test pipe” or a catless down pipe, just gut the one MST sent you. I’m sure you got it free/sponsored. Just knock out the converter material. You still have your factory one if you need to swap back to get rid of an engine light.
He literally says In the video that once a local tuner becomes available he's getting it tuned. And there is no company that's going to make a Catless downpipe with today's EPA regulations. And even without a tune every downpipe so far that has just been bolted on to the GR Corolla has gained any where from 15-25 whp
It has nothing to do if you have a state inspection or not. It's an EPA regulation across the entire country. No reputable company is going to make a catless downpipe nowadays without having the government come down on them with a huge fine.
This channel is criminally underrated!
Thanks! 🙏

Honestly for the extra $300 difference in price I might as well buy OTL since it's a full downpipe and I wouldn't need to buy a separate Mid pipe
You don't even own a grc so shhh
What are you even talking about? 🤦♂️ 🤡

The laughing in the end got me😂😂Boys stuff🎉🎉🎉
As a 2024 owner, I love these vids. Thanks homie!
Sandstorm playing @ 6:20 is so damn good

I would definitely set aside at least 3 hours MINIMUM for sure
that's going to be a great damn video LMFAO
Great video Anthony!
Thanks Que!
The high flow cat only last two years? did I hear that right ?
I think I'm still going to go with OTL because it comes with a midpipe
Good choice
I like the combo, what company did you go with for the midpipe?
SXTH Element
Armytrix now makes a catless downpipe, their cheapest option is $490
What are the smog regulations in Texas for you? Are there laws against catless stuff?
Lamspeed has a catless downpipe/midpipe listed on their site. Back order til mar 7, gonna be waiting for people to review that one
Did you tune the car ?

Soo how you guys pull it out?? Everything gets removed including Every bolt touching the cat and it still won't break loose
You can't blame companies for not making catless exhaust. No one can make, let alone sell, enough pipes to out pace how fast EPA fines can stack up
Can you intall it on stock mid pipe?
Yes it can be installed on a stock midpipe
Nice!
Thanks!
Is it much louder?
what was the brand at the end? busher?
The brand of what? The downpipe?
I'm running the Island Racewerks catless dp and just waiting to tune when Ecutek releases their remote kit. Only downside right now is always having a check engine light but I expected that.
I just installed the same dp did you have any issues with the exhaust leaking or shaking, if so how did you fix it?

@perrythomas4690 oh I didn't know that. I left the pin where it was when I put on the dp. If I move it it might clear better?
Still on the stock clutch? Any slippage?
Yes it's a stock clutch. And no slippage yet.
@@antdoI live in Houston as well.
What mid pipe did you buy?
I bought the SXTH Midpipe

Does the awe system not come with a midpipe? Which company did you go to for that?
I don't think any exhaust for this car comes with a mid pipe since it has a catalytic converter on it.
@@JohnnyTranJTP thanks!
Get a tune and you'll quickly not care about still having a primary cat i bet 😊
Fi exhaust make a catless down pipe for $900 and also doesn’t come with the mid pipe
Looks like the GR is prone to cat thieves
Not SAE numbers on the dump sheet 😬 I don’t know if I would trust the 15 hp gain claims
I honestly don’t see the point unless you remove the cats and get a retune.

@@alex.n22 I’ve seen a few that do offer catless down pipes. If you don’t have vehicle inspections, who cares.

@@JohnnyTranJTP so the EPA goes after one company and now people are pissing themselves in fear… bunch of lemmings
@@JohnnyTranJTP honestly I wouldn't even bother. This kid clearly has no idea what he's talking about
You forgot to blot out ur licence plate at like 9:30
License plates are all technically public knowledge so
You an Johnny is more entertaining to watch than you and Mark.
Thank!
Good content, you talk way too much though brother.
This kid went and watched a vlog and complains the vlogger talks to much.... I'm worried for the future of this country. 🤦♀
You need a better mic
You going to buy him one???
@@jasond91 yeah you got any recommendations?
