maybe this "mod" is a given not worth mentioning, but you can lighten your car by about 100 pounds by stripping out the spare tire, jack, tools, owners manual, etc. this does make a noticeable difference

does it make a difference???.....
I recommend removing the one closest to the manifold....

Cats retains lots of heat....

your Yaris manifold "heatshield" isn't really that effective...
especially after a drive and you come to a halt.

I always have a problem with Engine bay Heat management.....

I use my air scoop on hood to direct air to header/ cat .. Works well . Stole idea from the celica.



I talked to some TRD represatives about the issue of what exactly is the celica hoodscoop used for ? I was told it's mostly for drag/downforce issues and some engine airflow characteristics. Helping with higher speed stability of the FWD. And air circulation around the motor for cooler under hood temps. They said blocking off the scoop or hindering the airflow lessens the airflow through the engine bay and decreases areodynamics.

The exhaust isn't what's making you engine bay hot, it's the hot air going through the rad. You'd need a shroud to vent the air under the car or even better, out the hood with louvers.

Extractors on the hoods work excellent.

too bad i just got it installed last night.. but does it have to snow today oh well its all good.

my review:
no way in hell i could have put this on by myself it was so tight to get the upper bolts to line up needed a couple of hammering to get it in but once in everything lines up.. tighter on turns and also did notice less bounciness on the back end when ever i drive on those ripples on the street of toronto ..then it snowed this morning so i was like shi% do i need to drift now.. overall im happy with the product!

thanks garm "MICROIMAGE"

suspension will make a drastic change in the car's "fun to drive" factor, upgrade suspension pieces first I'd say
