I don't know about that. But now that you are telling all this... It just sounds odd.

...very odd. I'm not bad mouthing them. Just wondering what they are up to since I already had my car "jigged" for the header.

On a brighter note, I talked to a guy whom I sold some TRD shock absorbers to and he indicated that his company may develop a 4-2-1 header for the Yaris. I'll try to get some further info out of him as I'm not sure how serious he was. He did own a Yaris though and his company develops parts for the Lotus Elise. One of the parts they currently produce is a 4-2-1 header.

Looking at the stock design, which is pretty good considering emmissions and packaging, I don't think a 4-1 bolt on header will really gain much of anything. I don't think losing mid range torque for 2-5 HP on the top end is worth it. I would be in for a 4-2-1 design.

I emailed the lotus guy. We'll see what he says.

It would be great if they did up a long tube header :)

Talked to Joe, the Lotus man. He estimates his hand-made headers would cost about $1300 for a 4-2-1 config. Part of the issue is that it will be incredibly difficult to make a 4-2-1 that is the same length as the stock Yaris header. Either the header tubes will have to undergo some crazy bends or the rest of the exhaust would have to be reconfigured to match up to the longer then stock 4-2-1. A turbo is still possible but honestly, I didn't ask about the price. I guess we'll have to wait and see if Leo at WR comes through. Castrex, any word from him?
