cheap trick... - Toyota Yaris Forums

I wanted some cheap bumper protection from the exhaust...

...so I cut out a piece of no-slip safety stair tread and stuck it onto the bumper with clear silicone.

Cost: $6.

That's cool, but I don't think you have to worry about your bumper. I've been running mine like this for a LONG time

Hey, kaotic I've been wanting to do a center exhaust like the one u have for a while... Just looking for an axle back...A while back i Was going to do a dual exhaust with a full body kit...I had the body kit got it from garm then decided to opt out after I was informed that a tru dual exhaust system is not ment for the yaris so i was disapointed and i gave up on the project... so looking to do a axle back is yours a full back or just axle back??? i see the dual tip but thats all it is right thanks... Just trying to get some things going again for the yaris also how much did you spend thanks in advance for the info...

@ tooter... Nicely done...

Mine is a resonator back. I was going to go with a cat back, but the muffler shop rep said that it might sound raspy/ricey and suggested that I keep the resonator. PM me if you have any other questions

Yeah, I was just getting paranoid about the white paint getting smudged.

You know, I had been told the same thing, but I don't brlieve everything I hear so I did my dual exhaust system anyway. I even have a valve in the exhaust since one side is quiet while the other is loud, I can switch to either, or both... Mine is an XD, but not much different than a Yaris!

Below is a picture of the Butterfly valve assy.
