tekmoes exhaust and intake project: complete - Toyota Yaris Forums

tekmoe · 02-15-2007, 10:22 PM

trd exhaust took 20 minutes. trd intake took almost 3 hours. i felt like i was doing plumbing work. the intake ended up being more of a bitch than i had anticipated. nonetheless, i got everything installed and will post a mini-review very soon. pictures will come after she gets a complete washdown this weekend.

***edit***

pictures are now up. http://djtekmoe.com/pictures/02182007/02182007.html

enjoy.

Lucky you live in Texas and you can actually wash your car.

I haven't washed mine in weeks... that water just freezes right to it.

Didn't we make a rule about this?!

just did a 10 mile run. engine sounds good. power increase is there, not mind-blowing by any means but it can be felt.

so far i like it. :)

Tek- Where did you have your exhaust installed at? How much?

Had Moe install my alarm/tint today at Bonnie & Clyde's. They did an awesome job- thanks for the advice.

i've installed pretty much everything myself with the exception of tint and alarm. everything else has been done by me and/or my friends.

the exhaust was easy. two rubber hangers and two bolts.

fazali · 02-16-2007, 12:59 AM

did you do your lowering springs too?

did the lowering springs and struts with the help of a friend. took all day because we ran into some stopping points.

so i've racked up over 100 miles with the new intake and exhaust. there is a noticeable change in the powerband, especially up top. it also looks my mpg has increased. i'm really liking it a lot so far. pictures will be posted tomorrow after the photo shoot.

little bit of noise for better performance AND mileage...who can complain?!
