MST Performance Downpipe | GR Corolla Install

A good friend... ‪@Thrust83‬ had a theory (as did I), that installing a downpipe on a #GRCorolla did not need to entail dropping driveshafts, removing heatshields, or cutting any metal.
-
Matter fact, we thought it should be MUCH easier than any video we saw on KZfaq... and we were right.
-
Outside of the main reason for this video, which is installing a new downpipe from ‪@LTKTW‬, the method I accomplished is almost the real highlight.
In other words, you don't need a lift; you only need some hand tools and about 1-3 hours tops.
-
The result of the new downpipe has been better throttle response, improved powerband delivery, and added horsepower... I'm not even tuned yet and I love it. The next step is a full exhaust and working towards a tuning solution.
Sit back and enjoy! This is CarQuicks!

That is a freaking awesome find! I feel that this revolutionary for modding the GR Corolla. I've seen a couple of videos of people trying to replace the downpipe from the bottom where they needed to remove the driveshaft, heatshields etc. Lots of work! Having plenty of access from the top makes changing downpipe, turbo etc very DIY doable!

I was in the same boat, every video had me thinking this was impossible in the driveway. This method is the easiest thing you can do, makes it so much better.

@@CarQuicks Yeah it was nice didn’t have to cut anything or remove the driveshaft or anything like that honestly if I’d have timed it probably 2-3 hours start to finish. If I did it again today probably just under 2 this really is the way to go about installing downpipes even if you do have a shop and lift!

@Eweazy-mh8gd Ай бұрын

Did you get a tune with that otl downpipe? CEL?

@polo5012 Ай бұрын

@@Eweazy-mh8gd My GRC is not a daily so I’ve put maybe 100 miles on it since I installed the OTL downpipe. With that being said I haven’t got a CEL and don’t expect to get one either seeing as it’s a catted down pipe. I’m not tuned because there is still a plethora of parts that I want to install before getting it tuned.

if you look at the mounting points, the "cowl" is essentially an OEM strut bar

@CarQuicks 2 ай бұрын

I actually argue against that. Yes the mounting point have some believing it acts like one, but if you take it off, you can bend that piece by hand. It’s thin stamped steel… I also bent mine accidentally leaning against it. Lol.

@Charliegsand 2 ай бұрын

@@CarQuicks leave the cowl off & go for a drive, its pretty noticeable when its not installed. i agree its kind of flimsy on its own & may have room for improvement but when bolted into place in the car its doing something

Apparently mst downpipe doesn’t add any power per Nemtec Racing . They said limit 1 and OTL make the best downpipes and they tested on the dyno. I wonder why?

@vincentluther8794 16 күн бұрын

Isn’t the down stream O2 sensor supposed to screw into the bottom of the down pipe?

@CarQuicks 11 күн бұрын

The second 02 sensor you may be referring to is on the midpipe. I did a video on the 2J-Racing Midpipe on my channel and you will see it attached on that video.

Did you get a baseline of your performance on a Dyno first?

@CarQuicks 2 ай бұрын

No, I didn't. I thought about it but there were enough videos online for me to get an overall idea of what these cars baseline. Also, I'm not really chasing a number per se, I'm more just getting back to the organic fun of changing parts, seeing what I feel and later down the line I'll most likely go standalone and do a nice conservative tune.
