Difference between revisions of "TRD Exhaust Versions"

Revision as of 15:21, 25 June 2013

For those of you wanting a TRD exhaust system there are a few things to note when buying one. There are three different versions of this exhaust.

1. JDM TRD Axle-back (Muffler Version S) - Available on the Sports-M Celica and has a regular sized exhaust tip. Comes in one piece with a special heat resistant coating.

2. USDM TRD Axle-back - Arguably better performance than the JDM and comes with either a regular or extended exhaust tip. Comes in two pieces with no special heat resistant coating.

3. TRD Kazuma Cat-back exhaust. The loudest of the three and also very rare.

Other points to note:

- USDM TRD and JDM TRD are a totally different design, different exits and material.

- USDM TRD has a same side exit where as JDM has a rear exit.

- USDM TRD is full stainless where as the JDM is mild steel with only a stainless steal tip cover.

- USDM TRD has TRD engraved on the tip and the JDM has it on the muffler.

- Both the USDM TRD and JDM versions have 2.5" piping.

Here are some pictures to illustrate the differences between the stock, JDM and USDM versions:
