Hi I have a Toyota Camry 2018 I4 SE trim I currently have 60+k miles on the car currently have straight pipe full.(no cats)
My engine temperature keeps on going to cold side of gauge I have this issue for while now I changed the thermostat from Toyota . It still does that even on warm temperatures the car engine temperature gauge coming to C side instead of being on middle. I'm not sure what to change next please help
My pet peeve is people chopping off their exhausts and deleting their cats. This causes nothing but trouble, adds nothing to performance, and sounds terrible.
You altered the flow of the exhaust gases. Essentially you opened up everything and the computer is reading cold because, well, it IS running colder. The 4-cylinder is chucking all your exhaust out so fast that the engine is never going to hit optimum temperature. You could retune the car for your "setup", but there is a reason cars come with cats and removing them is illegal.
Is your check engine light on? It should be. Have you been just ignoring it and driving it like that since you straight piped it? I'm going to guess yes. The best thing you can do is put a proper exhaust on the car. What you have on there now is just doing more harm than good.
No I don't have a check engine light, But I been driving it since 20k miles w straight pipe
I'm probably gonna put it back by this week and sell it by 2021 since its 3 years old and lost half of its value .
