Mate BZ carib and wants to get aftermarket trumpets for his blacktop.
Anyone make these or know the best place to get them?
Thanks

I kno Bob Homewood at Hitec Motorsport Ltd makes his own custom ones that he sells.
Not sure of price...but he has used them on some race cars so they must be good...

Those are too short for a street car.
Better off getting some longer ones. The ones I got were over 70mm from memory. Worked very well.
Got them off Trademe.

Just had a look at them. Very nice indeed. I had some of those ones from Trademe and they weren't any where near that good in quality.

BUY SOME OF THEM!!!

Found a pic of the A1 Turbos ones for you... I think they run in various lengths up to 80mm.

I've got a set from A1 Turbos on my black top. Had them for about 3 years now. I got really short ones around 40mm from memory. In hind sight I probably should have got longer, as the shorted they are the higher in the rev range the affect the power. It really screams from 7K to rev cut thought.

He ended up getting some Toda ones from Aussie. $400 shipped to the door including unifilter socks for them! Not to badly priced.

what sort of gains are you expecting by replacing the factory ones?

incease in noise.....
loss in power most likely...

Thats what my guess was too

if you want noise take off the airbox and run filters on the factory trumpets (sounds MEAN)

but otherwise, i'm pretty sure Toyota got it right the first time so not worth changing them.

Noise ftw.

Induction noise owns my face, only reason I own a Honda.

by **Adamal** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 5:40 pm

Does he know quite a bit about the effects of having trumpets on a road car? I just hope he's not setting himself up for a let down when he gains a bit of power in one area, and looses a lot in another

I'm 99.999999% sure thats why he's getting them (plus they look awesome in the engine bay)

Only prob with those is the trumpet end isnt rounded right around.
We found at uni using a flow program making it fully round increases velocity by quite a bit
