06YarisRS's 2ZR-FE Swap 5-Door Hatchback (Automatic Transmission)

Never dealt with TDot but I do have vivid memories of watching them pitch on Dragon's Den a few seasons back.

Just watched it. Interesting. Their customer service seems good. They took the call quickly, not big wait and were very apologetic. I had a refund notice moments later. They did try to source an alternative part to no avail.

So, I'm done with searching. I just ordered the Eastern Catalytic midpipe and hardware from Rock Auto. I'll bolt that up to my Yaris muffler for the time being.

I'm wondering if the other aftermarket Walker muffler has better flow than the OEM style muffler. If I got the non-oem style, I could at least put a nice tip on it.



Adam didn't seem to think there was much difference in diameter of the piping between the aftermarket exhaust and the Yaris, so I'll go with that for now. Maybe sometime down the road, I'll look at an axleback performance muffler or plan a custom axleback.

Walker diameter looks larger. Yaris muffler is tiny and is very restrictive- crazy quiet but very restrictive. I'd recommend the Walker set up.

I've had ok experience w/ tdot and they are easy to get a hold of. They are just so large they never seem to have their shit together. Ron told me about Garage16 and every since then I'll be using them from now on for performance parts

I'll check out Garage16 in a bit. Thanks.

I agree, the Walker looks better.

I really like the look these but expect that they would do little to keep the noise at a reasonable level. Nor do I know if I'd have enough room. Have to do some measurements and, of course, would have to weld the hanger in the right place. I'd cut my current muffler off and use the piece from the axle to the new muffler and an adapter to bring it up to size


I wonder if my new midpipe with its 2 cats and resonator and one of the mufflers below would produce a reasonable sound. I know they're probably cheap junk (at under $40.00 USD each) but my car won't be driven in the winter so at least it wouldn't have to contend with salt and sand. I have a little more faith in the cheap import stainless steel products as both of my cheap $3.60 exhaust tips are still perfect. The one on my 08 has been through a winter and is still mint.
