Description
Review this item in the context of the repair, installation access, nearby parts, and the result the completed job is intended to achieve.
Upgrading vehicle’s exhaust system is a great way to build horsepower, free up trapped torque, and improve upon restrictive factory systems. The larger pipes, low-restriction mufflers, and tuned resonators of a well-designed performance exhaust system can make a world of difference on your vehicle. The net result is lower auto exhaust backpressure, more horsepower, more torque, and a much better sound.

You get what you pay for.I am happy with this product.You do NOT recieve any sort of instructions at all, so you must either know how to install it already, or pay more than the actual exhaust to get it installed.It comes in 2 seperate pieces that feel and look cheap. The assembly tools and gasket pieces are not included, so you’ll also have to find those on your own, and pay more money.The exhaust sounds CHEAP. Worse than a fartcan exhaust for a ricer civic, and it will begin to rattle after a couple short drives.Again, you get what you pay for… It is a super cheap price compared to a real exhaust, so just be expecting to replace it again within a few months – maybe up to a year at the longest before it can’t be used anymore.It is a good product ONLY to learn how to put an exhaust on your car, and maybe also take it off if it breaks in ONE piece.Do not get your hopes up, and you will be fine. 🙂

This exhaust barely fits a Celica GT-S. Its front left mount barely reaches the hanger and stretches it out all the way to the right and the rear hanger doesn’t quite go on fully, so I’ll have to figure out a solution for that. The connection to the factory gasket is bad and doesn’t fully cover the gasket, so the included spring bolts can’t be used. Ended up adding a couple of extra nuts as extensions, so I can tighten it without the springs. The sound is about what one can expect from a cheap exhaust – ricey and loud when you’re accelerating. I’m only using it temporarily, so that’s OK, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend it as a permanent solution.

Would have been 5 stars but i had to buy longer bolts to use the springs.Sounds really good for such a cheap catback. No drone at highway speeds nice deep tone at idle but not too loud.Lift sounds amazing when it kicks in.

I was skeptical about this exhaust system for the price ? And also was it going to fit my 2003 Toyota Celica gt not the gts but now that I have installed the exhaust system I couldn’t be more happy with the purchase it fits great with no rattling Noise and also the best part about the exhaust is it sounds AMAZING nice deep tone couldn’t ask for any more. I will be uploading photos and video of the exhaust!

Bought this for my son’s 2001 Celica GTS. Went on very easy, everything lined up with the hangers. My son absolutely loves the sound it produces. Very pleased. For the price, this can not be beat.

fits my 2003 celica gts perfectly… sounds extremely loud with my cats poked out haha. i had a exhaust cutout installed but i removed it and welded the stock resonator back in since the cutout flap was always leaking… basically i have a stock exhaust system now with the cat poked out and this axleback exhaust system by DNA…. sounds friggin awesome. Not ricey at all, nice deep loud tone compared to stock exhaust. Not sure why this is called a catback when it’s actually an axleback.. Catback exhausts on the celica include the midpipe/resonator section. Catback means the exhaust goes to the cat and back. This goes to the axle and back.. whatever though I knew what I was getting just for anybody else wondering. Also I had no fitment issues with this exhaust

For the low cost compared to others, it remained perfectly as from the factory without any modification. It came with all its hardware. And I like the sound and it attracts attention. I recommend it!!

It is a very easy install took me about 30min in total and the materials are better than I expected. The fit is really good sits real close to the bumper. Very deep droning tone at around 2500rpm. A lil raspy on the high end but sounds pretty good imo. Louder than a magnaflow but less raspy than the invidia. The burbles are really nice as well.
