I'd love to since that's one of the best sounding exhausts on a Yaris I've heard. But, any extra cash (which is 0 right now) I have will have to go towards camera gear (camera gear can make me money, whereas modding my car eaets my money

).

Setting the record straight:

1. The Yaris stock pulley DOES have a small rubber damping strip.
2. Straight from a Toyota engineer: "The purpose is to reduce noise in the cabin ONLY; it has nothing whatsoever to do with engine longevity".
3. Conclusion: An aftermarket pulley might cause a bit more cabin noise/vibration, but that is all.
4. #3 is proven by the hundreds of aftermarket Yaris pulleys out there with not one provable engine failure or shred of evidence that a solid pulley causes damage on this car.
5. This has all been covered over and over again on this forum and many others -- anyone bothering to do a search first wouldn't need to rehash the argument, at least in reference to the Yaris.

Are we good now?

They didn't do a damn thing else to reduce cabin noise....why'd they pick the crank hub to sound deaden?

probably because it fit, and it came from another car.

It reduces vibration felt with the hands through the steering wheel, from what I was told. More vibration than noise, I guess.

Smoothness is associated with more expensive cars? I dunno, nor do I care much.

Bluevitz-rs · 02-04-2013, 10:44 PM

I don't know about the Yaris, but every one of the motor mounts on the Echo has a big chunk of cast steel mounted to it, two of them rubber mounted for vibration reduction. It just adds weight to the car for all I care about vibrations. The only vibrations I'm ever aware of are at idle.

tooter · 02-04-2013, 11:08 PM

Well, I actually like it when idling you can't even tell if the engine is on or off except for the needle on the tach...

...but that's just the daily driver in me, I guess.

Captain Slow · 02-05-2013, 09:29 AM

lucky you, I've got the A/C idle drop, which is apparently a very common thing on the Yaris. it idles smooth as glass, then dips for a second likes it's going to stall then goes back up. from what I've read though it's very common and considered normal by Toyota techs...something to do with the gas saving features of the car.

tooter · 02-05-2013, 11:01 AM

Mine also does that to on AC which we hardly ever run. It senses a load and then notches up the idle. The idle also goes up slightly when the lights are turned on.

Tooter, a horse would be too loud for you.

Your excellent exhaust sure isn't, Garm.
Inside the car, it's virtually silent at idle.
Stepping on the gas is another story...

cali yaris · 02-05-2013, 12:24 PM

^ That's a good combination; it's there when you feel the need.

Captain Slow · 02-05-2013, 12:47 PM

Wish there was a way I could make my Medalion Touring just a LITTLE quieter...think I might stuff a blanket in my spare tire well.

cali yaris · 02-05-2013, 12:57 PM

Have you coated your wheel wells yet? Makes a pretty big difference, maybe not so much with the exhaust, but with outside noise in general.

Captain Slow · 02-05-2013, 03:53 PM

no. with what? just some of that spray undercoating stuff?

cali yaris · 02-05-2013, 06:42 PM

yes -- people have posted up a few pics here and there, dating back to the beginning of this site. I know you can get decent stuff in a can, just CLEAN well and mask off what you don't want painted - I think it's textured black.

Just for clarity I am talking BEHIND the fender liners on the METAL surfaces of the fenders/wheel wells. It does make a difference!
