Loren - thank you for the write up. I'm interested in a set and now I'm researching the best place to buy from. Besides that, what would you recommend for the rest of the exhaust system? Is it even worth replacing the rest? I'm looking for more torque and hp, but not at the expense of increased noise or decrease in fuel economy.
Thanks for your opinion.

I'm still running the stock exhaust because I don't think there's much torque to gain and it's not worth it to me to put up with all the rattles and squeaks and exhaust noise of a custom exhaust, or the poor quality of a typical cheap aftermarket exhaust. When I'm at the track, I sometimes wish the car was louder, but I've gotten used to it. Any other time, I like it being quiet.
Now, don't get me wrong, there may not be much low-mid range torque to gain, but there probably is some high-end HP to gain by opening the exhaust up. Maybe as much as another 3-5 HP. It's all in how badly you want it. Gmodder, try Google. |

Meanwhile... DC Sports was acquired by another company and there are no Yaris headers in production at this time. IF you can find a company with one in stock, you'll be very lucky indeed. Summit Racing confirmed that they are "special order", and that they have no idea when that means they might be able to get one, if ever.

Cali Yaris - of the header(s) you sell, which would be comparable to the DC Sport version? For my situation I would prefer one that helps with low end torque. I do not take my car on the track.
Honestly I have not spent the time reviewing hp and torque dyno sheets from the various companies. Fit and finish is important as well. Thanks!

I ran the Tanabe Medalion you have also, I really liked that exhaust. I used the Megan Racing header, worked great. Never heard of one cracking or failing. As for fit and finish, it's a nice piece. It's also back there behind the motor where no one can appreciate it.
Opening up the exhaust with a header and such will net you a few horsepower - I honestly think there is very little difference from brand to brand on our little motor.

i agree....theres not much to work with here. pipe sizes will all b relatively the same, and if you want a stock replacement then you definitely should be more concerned with quality than performance...
performance wise....about the only thing you can do is a custom long tube header. move the cat back, extend the wire harness, heat shield the cat and go a complete custom exhaust from there. it's not like a v-8 car where you have shorties, mids, longtubes, cut-outs, e-cut-outs or whatever else is out there. u got one option, and thats' short for now. |

Somewhat OT, but I have heard from a few people that headers can make your exhaust note cound like crap. Has anyone installed a header and noticed their exhaust sounding much more "ricey" ?

It's not difficult and uses regular tools. Reaching behind the motor to get at the bolts is a little tedious but doable. Better if you can get up in there from underneath as well (for the two bolts that connect to the midpipe.
