Dude, that is ill. I'm still debating if I want to switch out the exhaust or work on new wheels this spring. Definitely thought I had my mind made up but now....

It only took 15 minutes to install with a floor jack and one jack stand.
It doesn't hang as low as pictured at Tanabes website, must be the angle of their pics.
Does not sound like an egg. roll launcher.
Some drone in the cabin.
I thought it was overly loud, until I had my son drive it down the street away from me!!
Very elegant sound.

DJYojimbo · 02-02-2013, 12:04 AM

That is the Touring Medallion!

Would it be rice if I heated, and turned the tip up slightly?

DJYojimbo · 02-03-2013, 06:07 AM

I think Muffin wants to see a touring on a 2012 SE

How dare you even think about defacing that beauty of a muffler?!?

DJ is right, I want to see the fitment on an SE.. I think it's going to be a bit too far to the right..

Why don't you UPS it over to me, I'm just dying to check!!

Im thinking just a couple of degrees upward.

Ill ship it to you right away!!

NOT!!

With the Yaris muffler having a donut flange, there is enough play to manipulate the hangers slightly to angle the muffler so the tip lines up.
I can push horizontally on the flange area and change the muffler's angle.
It means nothing to me, as I dont have a cutout.

muffin_top · 02-04-2013, 07:48 PM

You could move it somewhat.. Is there good clearance just above the flange? That is where my TRD seems tightest and most likely to hit if I were to change its mounting height.

I was hoping DJ would send me his! You are much too far away and already have it installed.. :)

DJYojimbo · 02-04-2013, 11:45 PM

i'm hoping to install it end of march unless muffin wants to help me install on mine :)
