First, the exhasut pipe clamps seem to be to big for the pipe, and even though I torqued the bolts to 80ft/lbs, the pipe still moved at the joint. Secondly, the exhaust hanger from the muffler section are on the opposite side (facing the front of the car) and the stock exhaust is the other way around (facing the rear), this is more proned to slip out of the rubber hangers, which is far from ideal… Also, the end of the hanger brackets aren’t wide enough, and they slip out of the rubber hanger. All of these issues can easily be fixed with a longer section of piping going over the 2inch pipe, since I had to cut a part of the section bolting to the cat and weld washers at the end of each bracket in order to get them to not slip out at the muffler section…
Other than that, the product is top quality, and the sound is subtle, but noticeable, which is what I was aiming for!
Over all simple and great sound. Don’t expect your corolla to sound like a V8 or just loud in general. I’d say this product would give you similar sound db as a stock GR corolla so nothing crazy. I just wanted something lowkey where when I bounce it off rev limiter I don’t only hear engine noise and when I’m driving I don’t sound like a straight pipe civic screaming at 3k rpm.
(Experience with PLM overall)
I’ve been shopping with PLM for the past 3 years now first purchase was LDP for my Q50 then the heat exchanger. Both were amazing products and easy to install. These guys offer one of the fastest shipping I’ve ever gotten just from fedex ground, and when ever they have any issues at all they’ll give you a call/email and get everything situated with out wasting anyones time. These guys have the best product for the price you’re paying and the products work just as great than other products your paying triple for. I hope PLM makes more lowkey products for the corolla hatchs like short throw shifters and much more. All love to these guys at PLM <3
