Vibrant Exhaust Pictures - Toyota Yaris Forums

riceboy · 04-22-2006, 04:33 PM

Just wanted to show some quick pics of the Vibrant exhaust that was developed for my project echo...

Master · 04-23-2006, 06:30 PM

looks pretty good. how much is it?

how's it sound?

riceboy · 04-23-2006, 08:08 PM

I believe it's $499 CAD, although the best bet is to contact Vibrant Performance. It's an axle back so it is a pretty straight forward and easy install!

Master · 04-23-2006, 09:43 PM

woah....that's a crazy high price for a 10k car exhaust.

i bought an HKS ti carbon exhaust for 300 USD.

no way in hell i'm buying something from a no name shop for that much

Vibrant is actually a decent name, they are a Canadian company so you may not have heard much about them out West. I can tell you that based on the fact that it's a direct bolt-on, and that the Borla retails for almost twice that price in CAD that it's not a bad price. There's no doubt that HKS makes a sweet exhaust but correct me if I'm wrong in that I don't believe that the exhausts are made specifically for the Yaris?

In any case, look em up on the web I'm sure you'll find a lot more info on them... well if you got the time...

Yeah. We don't hear much about Vibrant here in the states. But the term is starting to get slung around here. I've heard only good things and more people are using them as an application. Good job. ;-) I'm guessing the nitrous isn't really hooked up?

You've said you read Modified Mag regularly. Check out the adds, you'll see a Vibrant add in every Mag. The NOS is hooked up last time I heard.

I have to agree with riceboy here. I have done a lot of work with Vibrant. They did their full exhausts prototypes on my Nissan 350Z, and on my Subaru STi.
One thing I have to add is that the quality is very good. I have worked with a lot of other manufacturers in the past, (big names) and not many are better in workmanship and quality than the Vibrant exhaust parts and other “performance” parts.
They are not yet very well known in the “aftermarket/performance industry” in US and Canada, but in Eastern Canada they get around. ( they are huge in the exhaust “OEM replacement parts” )
One of the nicest things is the fit and finish of their parts, staring from flanges to adaptors and actual pipes, cats, resonators and mufflers. Everything is nice and thick. I was really impressed with their SS welding procedures. It looks perfect and holds.

I used to have a race/performance shop, that’s how I got to test and evaluate these products on different cars on road and on our dyno.

That said…. , I do not work for, nor am I associated with Vibrant Performance.

Just my two cents….

I'm just wondering if the exhaust is the same for Echo H/B and Yaris H/B??

I don't think this axle-back exhaust may cost 499$ CDN... it doesn't make sense because I bought a full Vibrant cat-back exhaust for a 2k3 Nissan Sentra Spec-V I own a few years ago and I payed 420$ CDN shipped to my door (GST included).

Vibrant Performance offer AWESOME quality exhaust systems. Only one problem with my Vibrant's cat-back... it was VEERRRYYYY loud on the Spec-V!!

riceboy · 08-11-2006, 09:32 PM

sorry the pricing may be off... they sponsored the car so the exhaust was free.. i'm just trying to remember the quoted retail pricing...

*Chris07LB* · 08-11-2006, 09:36 PM

How's about a few pics of the whole car?

riceboy · 08-11-2006, 10:15 PM

Here are some pics from CSCS... I'm in the feature booth with an RX7, than I got a pic from importfest, and one from driftnation.....

*Chris07LB* · 08-12-2006, 09:00 AM

I think I like that Echo body style better then my Liftback..

riceboy · 08-12-2006, 11:26 AM

It was nice, but the interior trim was nowhere as nice as it is now... I really like the ol' hb too... it was a lot of fun to drive... especially in winter...

SimmZ · 08-12-2006, 07:49 PM

This car is sweet! But I still prefer the new Yaris.

JDMVitz · 08-12-2006, 10:04 PM

The fitment looks awesome! How does it sound? Any soundclip?

riceboy · 08-13-2006, 12:08 AM

Sorry no soundclips.. I totally forgot about recording them when I had the echo... I might be able to record something from my Borla on my Yaris..
