Ask Garm at Micro Image: http://www.microimageonline.com/ He should know for sure if it'll fit your vehicle. |

Tooter-
Thanks for the reply, and the photo of your exhaust! The center exit looks damn cool and right at home on your car. I will shoot Garm an email about the Tanabe setup, hopefully he can help. Back in the day I had the Touring Medalion on my '89 Civic Si hatch. Great sound and excellent fit. My dilemma is that I want something that looks and sounds mature. Definitely don't want anything that sounds fartastic. Good color 040 for the win!! |

Garm also sells the exhaust on my car. I chose it over the Tanabe because I like centered twin tips more than a large single offset tip. But that's just a personal preference. They're both excellent exhausts.
Here's a sound clip of the Tanabe Touring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROeri...feature=relmfu And a sound clip of the Micro Image Center: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQjo6tRJU8k Last edited by tooter; 06-13-2012 at 01:34 AM. |

Appreciate the links on the sound clips.
I can't get over how tasty the center exit MI exhaust looks. Sounds mean too! Were I sure the current Tanabe Touring p/n would fit my '12, it would be on the way. In other news my JDM RS side skirts came in today! The part numbers were good for the US ordering system but none of the PDC's showed them in stock. After buring a favor in the parts department they made some calls and were able to get them somewhat quickly. Just for fun, we tried all the color codes and all but the "Gin Buck" were available for order. They came already painted with the light grey rubber border already installed. Only extra items were the white screw plugs for the front fender hardware, couple screws and grommets. Only bad part was the stomach burning $917 for the lot... and thats at 10% over dealer cost. Yikes! Should have them on tomorrow if all goes well.. Last edited by muffin_top; 06-13-2012 at 09:02 PM. Reason: spelling ninja edit |

Hmm, I know MI are linear, I thought most of the other brands were too. It seems even Eibach though are progressive. The springs that list a rate are linear, the only other ones seem to be the Tein S-techs.

Would the Tein S-techs fit on the new Yaris? I know the answer is yes, but I want to clarify it once again.

Alrighty then.. Got them installed, wasn't a super awful time as had anticipated. Here is a shot from early this morning.
Wheel specs; Rays Engineering Gram Light 57 Optimise (Ceramic White) 16x6.5 +45 offset with 205/45-16 Dunlop Direzza DZ101. Stock RS/SE suspension for now... After.. |

Yes the suspension is identical. And to make it 100% sure order from Micro Image and they will do everything they can to make you happy.

I found it quite irritating that our Canadian friends get the skirts as standard and we Americanos get the shaft!! I'm feverishly working on trying to import a Modellista front lip, grille surround and headlight eyelids to complete the look. Must. Resist. Yahoo. Japan. Auctions! To sorta keep the spirit of the new parts/mod theme of the thread, I received word today on the US spec armrest for Yaris. Should be available in fall and was told it would differ from the JDM setup that is nothing more than a storage box. It has a part number assigned, but of course shows no availability. Retail was like $247. I'll post up the part number tomorrow so you can get the pre-order on at your local Toyota d-ship. I'm hoping for storage plus padded cover for my lonely elbow.. |

Hey muffin, what's the part number for that storage box? I definitely want to pre-order one.
