paid off the yaris

take THAT toyota canada....used the profit from selling our house in the maritimes to pay off the yaris...so she's free and clear!

also threw on the megan fart can i got in the new year on the weekend too. deep tone from idle to 3000rpm...above that you can hear the intake over the exhaust. but im happy its not super loud. my friend who's house we did the install at (he owns a s/c'd matrix xrs) took it for a rip while i stood on the sidewalk to listen to it....same deal, nice deep tone at low rpms, but dont really hear the exhaust in the higher rpms (oh and cruising at 110-120 you dont ever hear it)

hoping to find time soon to throw the suspension stuff on...

It's a good feeling to not have to make those monthly payments.

Congrats on paying off the Yaris!
Did you feel any performance improvement at all with the exhaust?
