- The Just Driven GRC is back after the next round of installs and modifications. The harness/rollbar created by Richard @ BSide Fabrication is looking awesome all powdercoated white. The rear Toyota spacers are put back on the car after and alignment giving the car's stance a much needed update.
Then to top it all off APEX'i USA reached out to us earlier on in the build to have their new N1 Evolution Extreme exhaust installed. We cannot tell you how amazing this thing sounds. the Go Pro mic does it NO credit. Keep an eye out for some audio clips coming soon.
GR Yaris Circuit owner here, I’ve got to say that exhaust is the best I’ve seen/heard so far 👌🏻
It's so subtle but comes to life on WOT.
@@JustDriven If I could get that for my GRY I’d jump at it. The ones here in the UK are either too much or too little if you what I mean.
We know exactly what you mean.
Oh man, your content is legendary, and I appreciate your hard work and persistence despite the downward support. I send you my regards from Morocco.
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support from so far away!
Finally someone’s going crazy with a gr Corolla I’ve been looking for someone like you for a while the build is beautiful
Heck yah! We are going crazy alright. Our next GRC video premiers tonight.
This channel is awesome but the guys over at Nemtec are doing some nutty stuff too. I love all gr corolla content! Had mine for 6 months plus now
Amazing man didn’t put 1 clip of a outside drive by with the exhaust 🤦🏽♂️
Yup. We stated in the description we would do a separate video for that. It's okay though we see you just like to leave negative comments so we will let it slide.
You can go watch APEXi's video, it's using their car and has outside clips czcams.com/video/JJCPeQOYt-s/video.htmlsi=M0HSS2jxxtqDAdrb
Mans can’t even afford one idk why he crying
The car is looking good trhe roll bar looks nice and the exhaust looks and sounds good and did you guys fix the overheating problem and can't wait to see the full build at S.E.M.A. this year
Thanks! We are loving the setup so far. The overheating on track days is still an issue. We have some ideas to fix it but they will have to wait till after SEMA.
Could we get more sound clips of the exhaust from the outside?
Yah, we want to release another video with drive-by and outside revs. Keep your eyes out for it.

It's back!! Been waiting for this day!
Sorry for the delay! We have a bunch of partners that have needed to barrow our car.
The black wheels look nice but I with you on having white wheels that’ll look good 🔥
The Weds are a darker gunmetal (which is nice for brake pad dust) but we are thinking a white wheel for street use more than track. Cleaning white wheels is annoying!
Would love to get this for my GRC but prices are way too high for exhausts rn 😥
Prices are high for EVERYTHING right now. But we get your point.
Those little pops are awesome! It would hide the rollbar, but definitely need tint now 🦾
Not sure if we want tint for the track car, but it's worth talking about.
I also have a manual Corolla ! 😜❤
🤙🏻
What's the weight of this compared to stock setup? My ideal setup is no drone, but slightly sportier tone so i can still chat with passengers easily at part throttle, then when smashing it, it livens up letting you know it means business. Your description makes it sound like this is the ticket yeah?
Also love the outakes! "Oooo"
It's made with stainless steel so not likely much lighter (APEX'i did the install so we weren't able to hold it to really compare). The sound? We can speak...volumes about it. It's amazing. The way you describe it is exactly how it sounds. We have another video in our lineup with the exhaust you could check out. If you are interested in purchasing this exhaust you can also email us at info @ justdriven. com
I'll look for that video@@JustDriven. I love what youve done with your GRC. I still need to get the FA coilovers, waiting to see what Toyota GR comes out with though as well, hearing rumors of upgraded springs and shocks being offered by them, but think I will still go with the FA or maybe Ohlins if they come out with an adjustable setup. Once I get the suspension and wheels sorted I will look into the exhaust. Thx again for the great videos, looking forward to more. cheers!
Expect to see APEX'i coilovers and TOM's also coming soon.
ok, hopefully last question@@JustDriven. With these wheels, did you use extended wheel studs, if so any specs? and what lug nuts did you go with? looking to duplicate this setup. thx again!
I like the magnaflow exhaust for the gr a little more. Sounds nicer imo
Nice! We have not heard one in person but will keep our ears out. It's great there are options starting to come out for this platform. So everyone can enjoy what they believe is the best for them.
Love the look of that exhaust. What wheels are those? Wedssport sa10r?
We love the look, the sound, the fit & finish. The wheels are Wedssport TC10X.
Was this a custom cage built by your team?
It was. The fabrication was all taken on by our friend Richard at BSide Fabrication.
How has the overheating diff issue been? Has an exhaust heat wrap + 50/50 mode only been sufficient in suppressing it? Getting one in december and excited to make it track ready!
It’s helped a lot. We think more can be done to reduce the heat building up around the diff and clutch packs. It’s been off at various partners getting fitted for parts and we just recently got it back. We are hoping after SEMA or maybe beginning of the year we will be able to dive into it some more.
@@JustDrivendo you guys have aftermarket LSDs? Or the factory Torsen LSDs.
I have been watching the Nemtec Racing Team vids and they don’t seem to have the overheating issues with CUSCO LSDs. Apparently they don’t heat the oil up as much that is shared between the centre and rear differential. Keen to test in mine but still waiting for parts
Does the middle exhaust mute out after 20 mph like the stock one does?
The APEX'i exhaust still uses the factory valve.
what's up with those weird joint looking things on the roll bar?
Those are interlocking tube clamps. They are designed to be able to remove sections of the bars. They are stronger and look better than some roll bars that have a single bolt going through.
Every new Corolla owner goes through this…. Lol 1:54
Every. Single. Time.
Will the roll bar ever come to market?
If there is enough interest we could put some jigs together to make more.
Where can I get that lip guard? 😪
Are you talking about the front splitter? That is made by Verus Engineering.
@@JustDriven my bad, splitter. And thanks! Don't see it on their site, so I'll contact them.
The splitter is still a prototype but they should be releasing them soon.
Randy Bobandy?
Banana-nanna fo fandy?
How about a rev up and drive by from the outside. Can’t really hear anything in the car.
We mentioned in the video description we would release some more footage of just the exhaust at a later date. Keep your eyes (and ears) peeled!
Is this louder than stock?
It is louder than stock, but very pleasant compared to some exhausts that tend to drone at higher RPM.
Man. Do I try and go for a GR Corolla or a new Integra Type S in a year or two...?
They are different enough. The Integra is more of a luxury sports car where the Corolla is more of just a sports car.
@@JustDriven Do those Weds Wheels come in a bronze color? Lol. I’m already thinking of things to add on to the car if I get one. Lol
Pretty sure they come in a bronze color also.
What have you done to further address the diff/clutch pack overheating?
We just got this back from a few of our friends who are developing parts for it. We haven't been able to work on the car since you saw it last on the channel. Now that we have it back it will be getting prepped for some major changes for SEMA then we can start addressing the diff/clutch pack issues. We have been discussing things with B Side and are developing some great ideas. More to come on this.
Where will you be at SEMA?
The Toyo Tread Pass!
How is the rear diff overheating solution going?
We just got this back from a few of our friends using it to build some exciting new projects for this platform. So we haven't had a chance to dig into that issue since we last had it. We do have plans to try and work with B Side and see if we can't fix it.
Great sound but four exhaust looked overkill.
It's how others will know you mean business! haha...
😮
💪🏼
@@JustDriven I still want that track spec exhaust 💦
That's still our favorite sound. The APEX'i setup adds some JDM cred. haha....
I thought you guys sold the GR Corolla?
Nah! We have quite a few partners that need to borrow it.
Last time I remember seeing it, I thought you guys had said something like "should we sell it?" near or around the video you posted all the cars for sale. Also, I agree, I'd go white wheels on it too, but it needs to be a matching white exactly, not slightly off.
@@tinystar3010That's near impossible unless you're custom painting them.
In my pearl white Abarth 500, whenever I want a touch of color, I go with a red accent, it's not worth the hassle of painting everything I install in it.
I think you just answered your own dumb remark.. It's very easy to have wheels repainted or powder coated to make a factory spec color. Not impossible at all.
@@tinystar3010 I mean yeah, it's a new car, you can get the factory color code and paint them, but that's not the same as "installing white wheels", that's more like "choosing some wheels to paint OEM white and install".
6:36 undercover cop let you rip it in front of him
That should tell you something about how awesome the exhaust sounds! Everyone loves the sound.
Down pipe?
Not yet.
