Jeff,
thank you for the review, some good points and a reminder that I forgot to mention about fitting of the exhausts.
Just regarding the hangers on the Toyosport, these were discussed in the thread
,New Toyosport new MOT,
with the overwhelming majority of Toyosport owners reporting they had had no problems with hangers.
Having fitted them both (Toyosport & Daytona) a couple of times, I found them both a simple fit, my experiences were as follows.
Toyosport. Prior to fitting I checked the alignment of the two fixed hangers and found them to be in line vertically and horizontally. I simply inserted the nearside hanger into the rubber and then slackened the mount on the offside, slid the rubber on the hanger, moved it back in position and tightened it up. Job done - one of the easiest exhausts I have ever fitted.
I found the hangers to be very substantial and the standard of welding to be very good.
The finishers did end up with the nearside one sticking out slightly more than the offside, but you need to study them closely to see this.
Daytona. As the back box is a lot smaller and the finisher pipes are not installed until the back box is in place, it is a lot lighter to handle. The Daytona has one fixed hanger on the nearside and an adjustable hanger on the off side. Fitting the Daytona is easier as it is not required to slacken off the bracket holding the offside rubber mount of the car. Insert the nearside hanger, then insert the loose hanger in the offside rubber mount, then bolt the clamp to the bracket on the back box.
I have missed out the common steps of getting the old exhaust off which is normally the hard part. cjj produced a detailed How To for fitting the Daytona
see here
The finishers, which including the pipe are about 30cm in length then needed to be attached.
The finisher pipe is a very tight fit to the back box outlet pipes, which once in place need to be fixed with U-clamps.
The advantages of this arrangement are that it gives you some adjustment on the position of the finishers, so you can have them recessed or sticking out further and you can choose the style of finisher you want, currently Mike Satur is offering a choice of three styles;
Oval - (Oval + Back box = £396 + £20 delivery)
Round - (Round + Back box = £390 + £20 delivery)
or Quad - (Quad + Back box = £427 + £20 delivery)
Or, as a few T-Bar members have done, buy your own finishers in the style you want and have extension pipes fitted to get a custom finish to your exhaust. All sounds good but do remember this costs £££ and is in addition to an already expensive back box.
