I'm sure they narrowed it down to 1 because of cost issues.
I was really looking forward to getting the center dual exit catback they were working on for the LB... Pity.

Actually I'm not aware of any official Magnaflow setup for the LB, but I may be uninformed.

I guess back when they (Magnaflow) had the thread, they realized the market wasn't there. If only more folks showed interest maybe? What happened to me was that they never returned my phone calls, I did not got calls from them again. I just assumed they made their decision, IE, maybe the Yaris wasn't wasn't a big enough aftermarket venue (Hah! tell that to Garm and the the other vendors here).

Who really knows, they haven't been back here? By the way the LB they worked on was a member here, but he/she sold hers when they got scared over some seat belt with kids issue.

Actually, you'd be surprised at what the vendors have to say about that... Even though the Yaris is currently one of the best selling cars in the US, there seems to be very little interest coming from the consumer side as far as aftermarket products go... Couple that with the not-so-great state of the economy, and you have a bit of a problem on your hands...

Here's to hoping that changes soon, though! I, for one, hope there will be enough Yaris aftermarket support for years to come.
