I bought the replacement stainless system because it was available at 1
days delivery notice.
Toyota wanted £100 more for a mild steel one, with minimum 6 weeks
delivery wait, and no garauntee that it would be on that shipment, as
they only get one bulk order of parts for older cars, and special orders
get added to the bulk order. If it didn't make that on, it would be on
the next one. I had a split in the exhaust as a built in flexi section.
The mid and tail boxes are the same size and shape. The pipework is the
same ID, the only difference between them is, the pipework and boxes are
stainless, and the de-resonator box is missing from the system. It has
one 4" tail pipe, rather than 2x2" tail pipes, but that is effectively a
welded trim on the back of the box with single 3" outlet, so that
wouldn't affect tone or volume much. Given the choice, I would have gone
with a single 3" or factory style dual 2" backbox, but they only offer
one tail pip style for each system they make.
I did look at standard Jetex/Walker/Timax (etc) type pattern
replacements, but apparently nobody makes an off the shelf non-upgrade
system, becuase of the low volume of cars made (less than 10,000) and
the weird position of the CAT in the system.
