So we all know that we share motors with the corolla le. S . And ce? Anyways johnny from rpm headers made long tube headers for the corolla which will fit our cars as well. Dyno sheets have been proven that made 8hp wif mid pipe (gotta have a custom made mid pipe cause of their designed) in over 100+ weather. So it could of made more. Reg retail goes for 375 alone but we all ready got 5 ppl interested so u'll already get 10% discount (w.o shipping) 10+ will give us 15% discount. Any questions ask me. Gotta make a deposit of 100 bucks to be in the gb ... contact johnny nd refer me (xd kidd) for this awesome deal. To make make a deposit or other question ask johnny which his info and pictures are provided in the link below.

Btw they are the makers from ppe headers (google it) they have good reps nd these headers are a steal for the price. (Based on 1zz headers)

That would be cool! You also might be able to wrangle more traffic on Scionlife/XD forum. It seems they are a little more well known. I got my header and am looking forward to getting it installed. I haven't shopped around yet, what do you think labor would be for that?

The installation is pretty straightforward as the exhaust manifold is very easy to get to. My guess is not more than two hours at the most.

If a midpipe is made will there be available options to mate with the stock header or any other aftermarket header? because im very interest in the midpipe and also will there be options similar to the corolla midpipe options?

You got it exactly! The different midpipe configurations will mirror the Corolla so folks have the option on how they want it built. With the number of Weapon R header out there, we do not want folks to feel like they are forced into changing headers just to enjoy a high flow midpipe.

I have my final parts coming in the mail. I'm getting the vibrant 1140 and 1145. So xd_Kidd, have you already got your header installed? If you haven't, then it will be a race. I'll get the vibrant muffler today, and get it fitted tomorrow with the stock system. Then when I get the resonator, I'll do the rest of the exhaust back including the header. I'm going to keep the stock cat because of my budget. I'll take a bunch of pics and a couple of videos with my iPhone, and it would be cool if you could use the same video setup as the iPhone so as to keep continuity to see the minor difference in the setups. I'm excited and I hope you are too. I love having something a little different.

You're on the right shop yelosub. I just got back from my local Midas, and am not happy. I bought a bunch of mandrel bent tubing, a resonator, a flex pipe, and a muffler. The straight part went fine with the header, stock cat, and flex pipe. (they had to extend the wires on the last sensor to behind the cat). They (Midas) then proceeded to ignore mandrel pipe I bought, and just crush bent the rest of the pipe to the muffler and didn't install the resonator at all. They then said that there were too many bends to use what I had, which was 4x45 degree bends 4x90 degree bends and 2x180 degree bends. I left pissed and loud. Now I need to find a reputable exhaust shop to redue their job from the mid pipe back. I guess the good news is they didn't mess up the mandrel pipe I have, and I can find a proper shop to finish the job. Anybody know a good shop around Chattanooga? It's been a long day!

Didn't ohcrap get some exhaust work done at JE import performance? As for the mid pipe from rpm, I'm sure it will be good as I love my header! I don't know if the mid pipe will be long enough for a cat, flex pipe, and a resonator. I tried to get Midas to put the resonator close to the muffler like tanabe did with their axle back, but I left with a friend. I guess out of sight out of mind.

The axel only runs to your rear wheel. You can see how short it is in pics of available products. The mid pipe runs from the down pipe or the long tube header to just before the axel. It's only the straight part of the pipe from what I understand. The stock resonator reduces the pipe diameter in our car.

Thanks for the kind words! Our company would be nada without the help and support of folks like Nateson, xD Kidd and our new best friend Yelosub. These three have been a driving force behind the creation of our Toyota header and midpipe and should be thanked for helping develop some kick a$$ products for the xD community. The good news is that we were wrapping up everything yesterday so Yelosub can quit taking the bus and get his hotrod back!

We'll be releasing out the different configurations and pricing ASAP so we can start building and shipping. Please note we also designed the midpipe to install with the stock exhaust manifold or Weapon R header. Like the Corolla project, we wanted to offer the option for folks to buy the midpipe even if they didn't want to purchase our header or had already made the investment in another aftermarket shorty header.

UPDATE!!!!

My vehicle was delivered at 1:00 pm Arizona time :)

I fired up the xD for the first time, man what a completely different sound...She sounded loud and mean...Throttle response is instant...I took her for a spin and opened her up, man the butt dyno could definitely feel the power difference...Remember folks, I have an AUTOMATIC...I smash the gas and the xD gets up and goes...Smash the gas from a roll on and the power is instant...I believe their dyno claims on the Corolla for a 8-10HP gain are correct for the header and midpipe combo...I believe I'm probably somewhere around 12-15HP with the header, midpipe, Strup exhaust, and the short ram intake...I might be even a little more but without a dyno I'm not for certain...

You DO NOT need to run an aftermarket exhaust to use their header and midpipe combo...I personally feel that with the stock exhaust it sounds better but I will continue to use the Strup for the added performance gains...

Once again, thank you to Johnny and the staff at RPM...You guys do incredible work and I can see future products from you guys...turbo (hint hint) :)

Midpipe only (no cat or resonator): $180

I'm not gonna lie that caught my eye (didn't intend to rhyme). This plus an axle back would give someone some decent gains without having to mess with removing the manifold.

Resolve
09-29-2011, 03:25 PM
Now Just questions. because havent been following super closely just snippets waiting for final product.


OK so midpipe alone, just using stock everything else would be $180?

But if I want Headers from you, I have to get mid pipe as well and looking at $555 + shipping.

If I get headers and mid pipe do I need a new cat and resonator or will it still work with stock parts?

Also are the mid pipe or midpipe headercombo throwing any codes

ScionNutt
09-29-2011, 07:51 PM
We make a midpipe that bolts to your factory exhaust manifold or if you already have a shorty style header like the weapon r. We also make a midpipe that fits to our long tube header. Both midpipes can be made in the configuration of your choice (with cat, without cat, with resonator without resonator) If you order without a cat (off road use only) we do put a cel elimator on the pipe to help keep the check engine light off. Midpipes will bolt up to your factory axle back muffler and aftermarket axle back mufflers.

Here is the price break down with different options.

Header: $375
RPM/Stock Style Midpipe only (no cat or resonator): $180
RPM/Stock Style Midpipe with cat only: $300
RPM/Stock Style Midpipe with resonator only: $230
RPM/Stock Style Midpipe with cat and resonator: $350
*Shipping and handling is NOT included and will vary by location based upon our Arizona "ship from" location.

If you have any other questions please feel free to call the shop 480-390-2927

I am going to have to wait and see. I want the Mid pipe but I also want the header. But there is no way I can afford both now. and I don't want to get the mid pipe now just to have to turn around and get a new one later if I get your headers.

09-30-2011, 12:03 PM
I believe the midpipe bolts up to the stock header also...I would call Johnny if I was you to confirm this...If that's the case, get midpipe now and header later...

Resolve
09-30-2011, 03:57 PM
Their headers are longer than stock. Therefore if you get the header you need to get a custom midpipe or thier mid pipe. If that is the case A midpipe made to bolt up to the stock header wouldn't fit their full lenght headers, due to the difference in lengths. Plus also states they make Midpipes for stock and midpipes for their headers. So two different setups.

Well maybe I could get it to fit if I delete the cat and resonator? Then it would just move the mid pipe back further. Would this be possible ScionNutt? I haven't been under the car like you have so I don't know all the room and stuff under there.

I am curious. Is the piping running from either the cat or resonator (depending on which configuration you buy) is it one continuous piece of mandrel bent pipe or is it welded sections for each bend?

ScionNutt
10-03-2011, 12:06 PM
I am working on the bend layout program so we can eliminate some welds but as of now they are mandrel bent 2 1/4 bends cut and welded in our fixture. Every section is cut then flat sanded and cleaned up for a perfect fit and then tig wedled. There will not be any flow restrictions inside the pipe.

I'll title this as magic mid pipe.
After I bought my header I got a mid pipe made at my local Midas, and was not happy with the results. I could have taken it back and pulled teeth to fix a couple of things wrong with it, but didn't want to be bothered with it. The guy behind the counter kept building up to charge me more money, and the mechanic was honest but was missing the majority of his front teeth and was in his early 20s. So my complaints were they didn't use my mandrel bent pipe; they didn't install my resonator; one crush bent pipe had a couple of quarter size dents in it; my muffler was angled down and to the left; the whole setup rattled like a mad man with a cow bell; when they extended the o2 wire they didn't insalate it. The kid looked real proud of his work, and it took most of the day. I was quoted 4 hours install time, but the kid told me he was pulled off several times to work on other jobs. The man behind the came up to me directly after that. He was smiling, shaking his head, and looking at the ground when said " Welp, this job took longer than we expected". I quickly shut him down with "your mechanic just told me he has been pulled off this job several times." when he walks off I notice/ask the mechanic if the pipes are crush bent, they were. It was time for them to close at 6pm, so I go inside to settle the bill as they try to finish up, and the guy starts trying to build up again when I snap a little bit and we understand each other. $400 to install the header and custom make a mid pipe. As I try to leave they find that they left the keys in the ignition and the acc on. So my car was dead. With a quick push my car "rattled" back to life. The kid mechanic looked at me and said "you can bring it back tomorrow if it knocks or rattles." I just told him I won't be back with all my certainty. I rattled loudly down the road to my house when my CEL popped on. I was tired and needed to take a nap before work. So that's the back story.

Now the magical mid pipe. After hearing RPM was making a mid pipe for our through fitment on Yelosub's car I knew I had to get it. I got it in the mail, and got it installed through a recommended shop quickly without a problem. It now doesn't rattle, and I got it fit to the stock muffler until I get time to work on the axle back. The next part doesn't make sense to me, my CEL turned off on the way home. I thought the ecu would have to be reset. That's why I call it the magical mid pipe. Here's some pics of the mid pipe starting with one of the core of the cat.http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/xx312/natofrombombato/b4f8207a.jpg

10-17-2011, 11:34 PM
Yes I do. The point of the story was the hassle, and the with the mid pipe I purchased from RPM fit perfect with less time. No worries. I would have bought the mid pipe when I got the header, but it was not available. Plus I think there was a problem with my stock cat. The reason I say this is because both mid pipes had no resonator, but the rpm mid pipe paired with the stock muffler pulls better from a stop than the Midas mid pipe paired with straight through muffler (vibrant 1145). Mind you the stock muffler pipe is 2" if not smaller and does not flow as well. The rpm mid pipe is 2 1/4 but bolts up to the stock muffler. You can see the size difference in the last pic I posted.

I decided to take a shot in installing it with my friend before the scion show/drag meet and it did take about 3.5 hrs to installing it if u take away time to find the right bolt numbers and what not. I had a bit of a hard time cause I'm no pro at this. Its a great sound at wot. But don't want to type my full review on my phone but yea I'm getting the rattling at throttle and a knock here and there. I'm assuming its the heat sheild for the rattlying nd idk about the knock so ima have to get another look at it. Any ideas to what it can be?

Glad to see all the positive reviews, I will probably pick one up once some hard numbers are posted.

Xdkidd, I have no idea without seeing it. My mid pipe came in two lengthens of pipe. So there is some adjustability, but not much.

Cxtkrs1, I don't think you'll be getting it. If you would pay for it, I would get it dyno'ed for you, but I also don't have the stock exhaust for a baseline. They dyno'ed the header/mid pipe on the corolla, but they had some issues. The dyno sheet was in mph instead of rpm and the car was overheating on the dyno. They got a graph, but it was not very helpful. If you would like to see it, it's on Toyota nation 10th gen corolla forum thread name with PPE headers. From looking around I don't see dynos for the weapon r or it's clone dc header.

im seeing that fastscions now offers the rpm mid pipe and header options, but when purchasing the mid pipe with no cats theres a note that says cel eliminator recommended for cat-less options, does this mean we have to purchase the cel eliminator or does rpm still automatically put them on the catLess options?

Yea that's what the ppl from napa said. But I wld assume the stick part is called the hanger. Surprisingly they don't have it 0_o

well that black piece is called a rubber hanger, the stock ones are real flimsy and too flexible i increased the hanger size (i have a lip kit the oe hanger wouldnt work) and that was def a good investment its very stirdy and solid.

and did u see my post about the fast scions mid pipe? do u think i'll need to by a cel eliminator for the cat-less option? or does rpm still include there own cel eliminator with the kit?

Where did u get the rubber hanger from? And I wld assume it wld come with the cel eliminator.

Howdy Scion Nation! You're correct, we include the cel eliminator with the cat less pipes. Also, a HUGE thanks to the team at FastScions for allowing us the opportunity to partner up with them. They are a first class organization and I would encourage anybody looking for great service to frequent their site.

Thanks all!

im gonna be buying the mid pipe soon and i know for sure ima go cat-less, but im debating about the resonator now. i dont wanna sound ricey but than again idk how my tanabe exhaust would sound just by itself. can anybody aid me or give me suggestions? the closest thing i could think of was the rally xd exhaust note. they are obviously catless and no resonator with the greddy exhaust. and my medallion touring exhaust is the closest in style and sound to the se elite. but still???

I'm cat less with res. I'm pretty happy with it. But wouldn't reccomend it if ur doing a lot of hwy. Sound on goes hard at wot. So that's good

well i spoke to one of the guys from my nj chapter in scikotics who has this done and he says its amazing. he has the catless option with a res and he said he has had no problems. the cel makes sure everythin is in check with the ecu and he doesnt have extreme carbon build up at the exhaust tip either. for him gas milage has improved, overall very good mod.

I went cat-less cause ii wants a dog lol

But yea I'm running cat_less with res with trd axle back. It sounds really mean. I love it but wouldn't reccommend it if you do a lot of hwy. I do 12-15miles hwy one way to work. And ii would try to keep it low. Going above 60mpg starts to get alil too loud for me. But being 70% city 30%hwy. Its not bad
