Custom exhaust or pre-made exhaust - which one makes more power?
Hey guys, I have a naturaly aspirated Yaris HB just like the majority of us. Which exhaust system actually makes the most power for our cars???
I live in Hawaii - is it better to get a mandrel bent exhaust system from the header back or buy components such as a nitto midpipe and such and assemble my own? Which is the better way to go??? |

Who said Yaris was slow?

It really depends on the local availability...
You'll see, if you have a competent muffler shop near you.... You can probably have made a custom exhaust from the cat back for the same price it will cost you a brand name axle back. The custom piece won't be as shinny though! Regarding power, you will always obtain more gains from a cat back set up... as long as it is done properly. |

From What I experienced, The cat back setup that I have (Which is straightpipe back from the first cat) actually loses torque compared to when I had the Greddy Ti-C Axle Back. I think if it's for N/A you should go with a prefabbed one and add grab yourself a Corolla Throttle Body. That throttle body made a big difference especially on the H1 when your in higher RPM.
When I didn't have the TB in the car was hesitant to go over 60 but with the TB goes 80 easy. |
