Nitto Exhaust - Toyota Yaris Forums

Garm,

Maine has tightened up their exhaust laws recently and now to be legal any aftermarket exhaust has to measure 95 db or under by SAE J-1169.

The Tanabe Medallion Touring measures under 93 according to Tanabe's testing and given the test photos posted in their blog it appears the Medallion was tested according to J-1169 standards.

Do you have any idea what the Nitto unit for a hatch would test at in db or how it would compare to the Tanabe in volume? The police officers I've talked to have all said they wouldn't be concerned with any aftermarket exhaust that wasn't of unreasonable volume but I want to buy one I KNOW will test legal. I've narrowed my search to these two units but I am seeking input to aid my decision as I hope to purchase next week.

I'm really looking for deep rumbly sound that is not intrusive or obnoxious. From what I'm hearing either of these would fit the bill well but I would really like additional input into which to choose.

The Nitto looks like it is very close to rubbing the rear bumper lip-anyone had issue with that?

TIA,

R2
