Caldina GTT Dump Pipe

[Lac]

Has any one put on a driven performance dump pipe for the caldina GTT?
Is it any good? what improvements do you see/feel?

Cheers

I used on on MR2 Turbo, got about 10,000 kms out if it and it cracked, definately reccomend getting a flexi and a bracket made up when installed.

Or going for a higher quality item, not sure if the MR2 3sgte dump pipes are the same as Caldina 3sgte, but Aussie, Berk or TKO are rated very highly, and when you factory in install costs its cheaper to do it right and do it once.

As for noticing a difference, slightly more responsive but was also running a pod and performance exhuast to compliment + did my CT26 to CT20b upgrade at the same time, a 3" dump pipe will certainly help over stock one.

Like all upgrades every little thing is going to help and all compliment each other in some way. I assume the upgrade path for power in GTT is same as MR2 since they both run 3SGTE engine.

i've installed a caldina one from driven performance on a st215.

It's not a bolt on fitment and you will need modifications to the factory b pipe as the downpipe comes with a 3 bolt flange instead of the factory bendy flange.

Due to the factory flange providing a 'flexi' joint, the factory piping does not have flexi as such and will be prone to cracking due to the lack of a flexi join.

Barely fk all differences were noticed. If i had to do it again, i'd just leave it.

The whole thing is different from an mr2 or a celica so not even a comparison. Caldina oem cat/downpipe didn't look as restrictive anyway once i had it off.

Makes more of a difference on MR2's because the downpipe is half the exhaust system....and the stock exhaust system on the MR2 is notoriously restrictive to keep noise down. I've done one on a Caldina and it didn't make any noticeable difference aside from a bit more noise when you give it a bootful.
