What are you going to do, put a fart muffler on it?

Seriously, the ECU on Yaris is very difficult to hack. Toyota made them that way. You're not going to mod it to evade all of the neat fuel saving stuff that makes the Yaris both environmentally friendly and fuel efficient, at least I don't think so. I don't know everything and am willing to accept experiment.

Fooling the sensors is not a smart idea, though I've heard of it done with simpler systems. A favorite trick is to introduce about eight feet of wire into an O2 sensor loop to fool the car into running more lean. Don't recommend it here.

NO is a possibility. If you could obtain a "performance" ECU from overseas that's also possible.

That entire ECU deal was dumb.

I've never ran a muffler of any sort, except for the stock one.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Stop assuming stuff. Its very unsightly.

Anyways, lets end this. We both know, (atleast I hope you do too) know that we've been in these kind of arguments before, and they end up going no where. So I'm gonna stop. Lets see if you do too.
