Go custom, this way you can go cat back rather then just axle back(rear section) and get it done localy without crazy shipping charges. As far as the muffler those will work and you can also try a dynomax turbo muffler or similar, which will keep the sound deep and very pleasant.

Just received and installed the Fujitsubo Wagolis axle-back. Cost me $439 shipped. Has a BEAUTIFUL sound, yet you can't hear it in the cabin during normal driving. Will post sound clips once it stops snowing, etc.

It's not necessarily true that an axle-back won't increase horsepower. It depends on how restrictive it is and/or the baffling design. It is mainly for sound, however, due to the design of the Yaris exhaust system, that's the only thing you can change other than getting a whole midpipe. A catback system goes from the catalytic converter all the way to the tip, and will result in a higher hp gain.
Hope that helps.

you can always cut your midpipe after the resonator (which is 2" thru) and replace the res-back piece which is 1.75" with a bigger pipe. just weld it on....i had to do that w/ my XRS and my magnaflow catback i bought for it....either clamp or weld...

from what i read, you gain tq across the powerband (thus increasing hp past 5800 or so fairly significantly) with just an axleback due to the stock mufflers extremely restrictive design...

That Fuji does sound nice, appears well constructed also.

Where did you buy the fujitsubo? I cant find it anywhere.

go to boomplustoys.net. they don't have it displayed ANYWHERE on their site, but I saw an old thread somewhere on this forum where they said they had the Fujitsubo Wagolis available for $439 shipped. Just email them and ask about it. Tell them Kirk referred you!

so uh... i thought i was following all this exhaust stuff but now after reading this thread i'm a little unsure. if i want to replace my exhaust from the header back what parts do i need exactly? and is that going to be really loud? would it be worth the trouble from a performance standpoint? would i be better off just replacing cat back?

Thank you lilredrocket! Well the engine was cold and I just installed this Saturday, 2 days ago, so there's some smoke.

EDIT: Oh and there's an Injen CAI on the other end.

I always like videos. Seems strange for the tip being so short right off the muffler. Kinda sounds a little too "ricey" for me. But looks good overall!

Well, personally I think it's worth the money. You can't have an efficient engine if your intake and/or exhaust is too restrictive (which is what the Yaris was cursed with out of the factory). If you wanted to replace your exhaust, I'd start with the axle-back so that you can find which kind of sound you like. Then you have the option of either going with the Nitto midpipe (available from microimageonline.com) or custom-fabricating your own midpipe (warning: the Nitto midpipe does not have any catalytic converters; they're just resonators). And you know, I would recommend replacing the header. The stock design is rather convoluted and doesn't lend itself well to a good exhaust flow. For this you have many options: TRD (expensive as all hell), Megan, DC, Thunder, DME, or, again, custom make your own. If you plan on doing more performance modifications to your car, a good exhaust system is pretty much invaluable. Hope that answered your question well enough :D
