2012 yaris SE TRD exhaust

[bambam28]

Hi guys I have a 2012 yaris SE and I want to put an axleback on it. I was looking at the axleback on my yaris and it looks so similar to the one in the 2011. I was wondering if anyone knew if the TRD muffler for the 2011 can fit the axleback in my 2012. The thing is if I order it and doesnt fit I am stuck with it. Thanx guys

I have the '11 TRD axle back on my '12 SE, it does fit but the tip is about 2" lower than normal. It looks low, but sounds and fits well. The outlet is centered in the stock diffuser cutout.

I would really like to try the Tanabe Touring Medalion..

hey muffin, about how much did that run you?

[muffin_top]

It's for sale for $200 :)

Have the carton, packing and hardware, as new. Has about 1,000 miles and three months use. Love it, just doing a full sound quality install so the fun exhaust has to go..

Muffin please let me know how the touring medalion fits your SE i'm planning on getting one too :)

Muffin please let me know how the touring medalion fits your SE i'm planning on getting one too :)

My only concern is the centering of the exit versus the cutout in the faux diffuser. Tanabe say that the test car they had was an L model as confirmed by the pics they posted on the website.

Ive been in contact with Tanabe and I'm trying to get them to send me a Touring Medalion to test its fitment.

We'll see!

I've been asking around here everyone said it should fit and kept saying i have an "SE" like yourself Thanks man!

What do you mean by axleback ?...corect me if i'm wrong but you mean just the back part,muffler and tip only ?...i have heard "catback" catalitic converter back...and some of the guys said that 2011 fits 2012,good to know since our LE is an '12 but when times comes ...i kinda like Borla stuff,but that's just me.
Thanks

Muffin, do you have any pictures as to compare the exit with the stock on my se? Also, how was the installation? I'm new to the car and yaris world so I'm getting ideas. Thanks!

Ok guys I posted the same thing in the performance forum and here is the link for all of you who are wondering what did I do? Well tomorrow I should have my axleback and hopefully installed if not then on tuesday...and for the question about the axleback...the axleback means that in the exhaust there is a conector in the axle in the back of the car, meaning you can change the muffler part from the axle in the rear to the back. I hope you understood what I am trying to say...

BAMBAM, post some pics to help us out with our install! Thanks man

Thanks for the pics BamBam, so what part "didn't fit"? Or were you talking about the large gap in the last picture?

[muffin_top]

That is the same gap mine has. The clocking on his is off as well, the extra hangar that came with the kit was likely not on when the pic was taken. I had the same crooked tip until the extra hangar was fitted.

[bambam28]

I really dont know what it was, the axleback was bolted and in the two oem hangers...maybe it was the one that i didnt put the extra one or maybe the curve on the pipe, but it was getting dark and I had a long way home so I decided to wait untill tomorrow. When I get to the muffler shop I will put some pics of what they did!!

[Absolutely Red 12]

Looks like you dont need the middle hanger.
Is it hitting the chassis, keeping the rear hanger from pulling up properly??

[Absolutely Red 12]

The 2012, and 2011 have different part number for the OEM muffler, makes sense why it doesnt fit correctly.

2012 Muffler 1743021791
2011 Muffler 1743021502

[bambam28]

Maybe that was the problem, but tomorrow when they lift the car I will have more accurate answers!!! Ill jeep you posted

[bambam28]

Yes they do have different part numbers...i knew that when I bought it, I just took the risk...somebody had to do it :D

If you cut all the hooks and make new ones like I did and connect the exhaust in the oem pipe ( no soldering or anything just bolted into the factory pipe) the exhaust is going to sit a little hidden like mine...maybe later I will fix that for now mine is gonna stay like that sounds AWESOME, and if you are willing to pay and customise the hooks...then I recommend it!! Again it sounds AWESOME!!!
