My Long Tube header build - Toyota Yaris Forums

unfortunately there's not much to show right now :( I have a bit of an interference issue with my mid pipe right now and its causing the car to extra loud and annoying, but with the headers the car did get quite audibly louder even with a big 15x5" muffler its almost unbearable.

I decided against showing pictures of the completed project as its a prototype and doesn't really look all that good. in its completed form.

Driving the car around is a bit of a strange experience because in most situations the power isn't really noticed due to how the cams behave, but I can light the tires up with ease without a clutch dump, and hold it well into 2nd gear, but this has created a bit of a problem for me as I now am having trouble getting traction coming out of corners, the tires blow away at part throttle pretty easily.

I don't think I gained much top end if any, and I'm pretty sure I lost some at the bottom but in the middle it feels really really strong much stronger than a little 1.5 should feel. Again I don't want to post a video of this just yet until I figure out this interference issue.
