Hi there, I've had my Stock 07 Yaris 3-door HB (manual transmission) for a couple years now and love it. I'm wanting to give it a little more "oomph". I'm not much of a mechanic, I've not done too much to a car except for change oil, brake pads, rotate tires, change dirty air filter, etc. (what I would call minor things).
From what I can tell most people here basically end up mixing and matching headers, middle parts, mufflers, resonators etc. Is there any kind of "hobbyist" full exhaust system kits out there that I could put on myself that would increase performance?
The reason I want to do the whole system is, from what I have gathered, if you don't your not really improving performance unless you remove the flow restrictions from the entire system.
Or, if there are not "All-in-one" kits out there, are there brands of each part I should be looking at for "bolt-on" ease of installation?
On a side note, are the "$50" cold air intake systems (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360299499102) on ebay worth anything as far as adding performance?
Thanks for any info!
