Upper hole and Teins that would really be low. I won't survive with that setup over here with all the speed bumps

She’s not really that low. And moving to the upper mounting holes doesn’t lower the car more, just changes the handling a bit, less under steer. See that rear is still even with the front.

You guys have some of the illest looking Yaris’ Malaysia. I wished the Sportivo was available in the States.

ok didn't know that it wouldn't lower the car further with the upper mount.

The 2nd gen Yaris wasn't a popular choice over here compared to Thailand. I believed they only had up to the S package before Toyota discontinued sales. Toyota is selling the 3rd gen now and G is the highest package at the moment. Sportivo package was only available for Vios/Yaris Sedan 2nd & 3rd gen.

Personally I only like a couple of options from the Sportivo package e.g.: speedometer, rims & interior seats. Not a fan of aerokit package.

That’s too bad, I like that front, makes the Yaris looks kind of like a GTR!

So after I've fixed my other exhaust leak, she purrs a lot quieter now, about the same as the previous muffler that I had.

Previous comparison:

Initial start peak noise 60db vs 68db (now 66db)
Engine warming up 56db vs 64db (now 60db)
Car fully warm (idle in parking lot) 43db vs 50db (now still 50db)
Cruising in 3rd gear at 30mph 65db vs 69db (now 66db)
Cruising in 4th gear at 30mph 63db vs 65 db (now 61db)
Cruising in 5th gear at 75mph 75db vs 78db (now 75db)

It's sometimes quieter than my previous muffler due to the exhaust leak.

Haha!

Sportivo is the past. Toyota here is now milking the GR branding:

Sportivo maybe the past for you, but since we never got it here in the States, it's unique. I think I saw some one form Texas have the front bumper, but not the Sportivo added lip. I'd brand Sportivo "RETRO" Retro's are always cool...

We're not getting the GR Yaris...
