Muffler...

[ChinoCharles]

Okay, so after I get my headers I am going to be looking to get a dual-tip muffler... I'm going to have a pipe custom-bent from the midpipe back to give me a center exit exhaust... your basic straight pipe, only I'm keeping the cat. No law breaking for me. I want to retain the stock exhaust diameter. Now, a couple questions.

[1] What is the stock diameter?

[2] Are there any sensors in the stock axle-back unit that will make this impossible?
(edit: answered my own question, there aren't any)

Damn I'd answer you if I was at home because I was just putting away the old muffler/exhaust.

If no one else answers you, I'll check when I get home.

Thanks bro, no big hurry. Gotta make my Christmas list this week, haha.

Say 2.25" please.

[the_saint]

I really doubt the Yaris exhaust is 2.25". It's probably like 1-7/8" or 2".

But fret not my friend, a competent exhaust shop could take care of that in a jiffy. :biggrin:

btw...that looks like the muff hasher's going for.

[jcove]

Vibrant's exhaust will be out soon if not already.

[RossP]

Megan Racing are making an exhaust too, but not sure when it's going to be out, or what one of their exhausts it uses

I just got my Borla performance exhaust from Canada today!

Tell us some opinions!

[mikeukrainetz]

Vibrant is out - talked to a guy there in R&D and the intake was out in the summer and the exhaust is out in November or worst case the spring.

Tell us some opinions!

I still have to put it on but it sure is pretty.

[ChinoCharles]

Soooo how about that stock exhaust diameter?

[bigsky2]

lol, poor Charles.

[ChinoCharles]

-sniff sniff- hahaha

[Violin]

About so big.

[the_saint]

ROFL!

[Violin]

:biggrin: Using a ruler and looking at the aftermarket muffler it looks like about 1 3/4" but if you can wait until I can crawl up under the car to install this, I can give you a better idea. :biggrin:

[ChinoCharles]

Sounds good... I'll roll with "so big" for now. :bellyroll:

[Violin]

It was kind of hard to get an accurate meaurement because of the flange on the end but it is less than 1 3/4" - around 1 5/8" but it's likely one of those metric numbers favored by the more backwards nations.

[ChinoCharles]

Thanks Violin, much appreciated.

[Black Yaris]

Violin, how much did the borla set you back?

[Violin]

It sells for $711 CAN installed, but I got a pretty good deal on it with three weeks use. I have a video clip loading on YouTube but their servers are really taking a beating tonight.

It has a real deep bass note and is louder than the TRD - it's a straight through design so that's no surprise. Going by my seat of the pants dyno, gains are similar to the TRD except at the top end where it really opens up.

So which one you gonna keep?

I take it the Borla because you are in love with those tits, I mean tips. :wink:

[Violin]

So which one you gonna keep?

It's a very tough call. I'm gonna drive around with the Borla for a while yet to evaluate it more. It's all polished stainless steel - a thing of beauty.

Glad you stayed with Team TRD.

That's Team TuRD, isn't it?

What an unfortunate acronym.

I saw that one coming as soon as I clicked Submit Reply.

TEAM TuRD.

[spkrman]

i'd say team TuRDy would be more like it, more phonetically correct :)

We need decals and hats.
