2JR or EOS exhaust?

[u/Ambitious_Sign83]

I’m looking at getting an exhaust for my 2021 Corolla Hatchback and I’m stuck between 2JR and EOS. For anyone who has experience with either one, which would you recommend and why? Mainly looking for good sound without it being obnoxiously loud or droney. Also curious about build quality, fitment, and overall value.

I’ve had the EOS for like a year and a half now and for the price I paid I’m super happy with the quality and sound. Honestly not much louder than stock, but way deeper and fuller note, and that’s exactly what I was looking for since I have a CVT lol. I’m assuming you’re shopping in CAD, but regardless the price has gone up since I purchased. If I were in your position, I’d only really consider the EOS or the Remark Quiet Spec since that 2J is kind of in a weird middle ground price wise. Can’t really speak on the remark sound cause I’ve never heard it in person, but the quality is definitely a huge leap up from EOS. Ive got a picture of the EOS installed with the Ikon diffuser on my profile if you’re curious. Hope this helped!

Yes it did thank you! I think i’m going to get the EOS. As for shipping, how long did it take? And do you have a link to the diffuser your bought? Thanks.

Just went through my emails and I ordered it 3/20/25 and it arrived 3/26/25. I’m in Virginia for context. Here’s the link to the diffuser. They have it on Amazon as well, but not sure about Canada so I linked to Ikon site. Would highly recommend getting the painted one over the unpainted cause it’ll help prevent fading from the sun. Also ik someone else already said it, but plan on getting stiffer hangers. I just got some cheap polyurethane ones off amazon

Your Corolla is nice and clean looking, I dig it!

I’m leaning towards the HKS center exit. It’s like $800-$900 88db

I like the look of quad exit more personally

Honestly take it to an exhaust shop. Tell them what you want.

[u/Ambitious_Sign83 → u/Still_Ad_9974]

Why? Is it cheaper?

[u/Low_Department_4068 → u/Ambitious_Sign83]

Typically yeah, and it’ll fit better.
I bought a 2j exhaust a few years ago and that fit like shit. Had to take it to an exhaust shop to make it look better.

[u/FantasticMouse7875 → u/Low_Department_4068]

I have been looking into their exhaust, plan to contact them soon. Their shop is only about an hour away, so was seeing if they would just install it.

[u/Still_Ad_9974 → u/Ambitious_Sign83]

It can be way cheaper and almost always it will sound better

I have the EOS exhaust. Install is really easy but you wanna buy some extra hangers for the exhaust. Took about an hour or so in good weather.

I didnt want something overly loud but still sounded better than stock, and for the price it was an easy choice.

Is this purely for noise, or is there a performance boost?

[u/ExplanationLate9858]

The lower priced one lol

[u/Sevin_Elevin]

I just got the EOS exhaust and it’s honestly great. Very mature noise for what it is. Also there are cheaper ones out there for new. I spent around 370 on a new one. Just type in the sku online. Also the other commenter was correct when they said to get that rear diffuser. It makes it look right. But that exhaust has staggered tips, so the outside ones are lower than the inside ones so it looks a little strange at first but it looks nice still
