'09 Sedan, HK or Nitto exhaust?
I've come into a bit of money and want to swap the exhaust out on my Yaris. I don't want it to sound like an angry bumble bee, but I do want a nice growl out of it. From watching videos on YouTube it looks like the Nitto is the way to go, but you never can tell about YT videos really. I'm sure some of you guys have these. For getting a nice deep growl out of the motor (during both idle and under load preferably) which one should I go with?
Thanks

I have the nitto exhaust but I'm selling it, my car is too lowered that the muffler bottoms out everywhere i go, because it is on a bit of an angle so, not the end of the muffler but before the muffler ends where the big "can" is that starting point is the lowest point and gets damaged the most.
If your going to lower your car with Tein S techs, i suggest you not to get it, otherwise trd lowering springs or any of those with less of a drop is perfectly fine.

To get the sound you want, you'll have to be ok with some loudness in the cabin, especially when cruising on the freeway.
Tanabe medalion touring is still one of my favorites (and the 2nd mod ever on the car): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIO6Nn0wcAc The S-Techs are the lowest spring available. I'm not surprised to hear that an aftermarket exhaust would have clearance problems with the car 2" lower than stock.

We have a lot of rough roads and dips around here, so my Yaris scrubs as is. I don't think I'll be lowering it any, not unless I move away from here anyways.
I'm fine with some noise, I used to drive a Ranger and there's not really anything quiet about those lol. The Tanabe sounds a little higher pitched than the videos of the Nitto I've seen. Is that reality or is it just YT videos with questionable quality audio? How did the Nitto sound on yours, Vioz?

With just switching out muffler to nitto it sounded great, loved it. Once I removed one big resonator off my exhaust it became ricey :(. Still had that deep tone but also had a raspy kind of sound coming out of it, so don't remove any resonators if you want to keep that nice tone or buy the mid-pipe from micro image and take it to a muffler shop to make it fit your sedan, thats what I may do or just go Cat-back

It's so bad :(, just speed bumps I go over them on an angle and still hear a little thump, lately I have just given up to prevent it. Probably switch out my springs :(

Sweet. I think I'll go with the Nitto from Garm. $250 seems like a great price and from what I've looked around it sounds the most like what I'm looking for. Thanks for the input!
