thanks to both

i am planning to order from Trdsparks.com.........is that the JDM version?

if not, what is the "regular" version?

Also, where can i order the JDM version?

thanks

[IllusionX]

trdsparks has the US version.

OEM one is also stainless steel. so it will not rust, even though the appearance of rust.

A muffler is low-tech, absolutely no need for it to be over 100 bucks in stainless. Someone is getting rich on your money.

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

thats the us version with ht design. the jdm one looks like the stock one.....

[TheSilkySmooth]

I think one of the american header manufacturers has a muffler eliminator for the Yaris Ive seen/heard it on youtube on a yaris search. Lighter, louder, cheaper $$than most. You can weld in a small can on the cheap to make a Kustom pipe.

hmm....so is kou's(second post) the US version? (which i can get from TRD sparks)

thanks!

[PETERPOOP]

If you can wait a little, I'm planning to replace my TRD axleback. It's too loud.

i assume its the us version???

[PETERPOOP]

Do you want to know if it's the US or JDM version? or do you want to know what an axleback is?

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

um

what is a TRD axleback?

sorry for being a newb WOAH, i thought you knew what we were talking about....:iono:

[Yawesh]

WOAH, i thought you knew what we were talking about....:iono:

i've heard of catback which i assume is from cat to the back

i guess axle back is from the rear axle to back , which doesn't include an after market cat and midpipe

but i get confused easily when people start giving different terms Heh

so im guessing axleback is meant as a term for both jdm and us version?

i think most if not ALL exhaust offered for our cars are axleback unless you go custom......

[PETERPOOP]

yah. axleback is the term for the piece from the axle to the back. what you are looking for is a TRD axleback. However, you are deciding whether to get the OEM (USA) or JDM (japan) version.

guess i was too used to the term catback(previously had honda civic) so when i heard axleback, i panicked:smile:

danks, i'm about to purchase from trdsparks. can't wait to put it on!

I have a TRD (US version) on my '08 Sedan. Rest assured it not too loud. In fact I'm sure may would consider it too quiet (by ricer standards).
Nice tone during acceleration. Quiet around town and on the highway when going 65 mph or less. Gets louder under the load of travelling 70 mph+ but nothing these 53 year young ears can't tolerate.
That said, if I was planning a 1000+ mile family trip I'd likely take the ten minutes to switch back to the stocker.

thanks for the info!

[LtNoogie]

Yes, I have the U.S. TRD axle-back exhaust that I purchased from TRDSparks. It connects to the stock mid-pipe. I took Mad Dog for a ride yesterday and we both had to raise our voices to talk while driving at surface street speeds. At highway speeds, it hums at a more tolerable volumn.

I believe you're talking about the Doug Thorley headers and muffler delete pipe, I posted a thread but I believe it was lost in the hack. Here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzrLBbpyKSw
