OBX center pipe
Any one has any info on this center pipe? from the pics it looks like a good fit for the 06+ hatch backs and a complete straight pipe, the dual muffler looks pretty nice.

Can you get the part number from the seller? According to OBX, they don't make that for the Yaris.

I know that the Obx site does not show this item on their product search either, I have contacted the seller for the OBX product number and the pipe opening size, the seller replied with,
"11428 is the part number, but it should be roughly 2.25" " which i search on the obx web site, no result found. I'm guess 2.25"/57mm is good for force induction app, but too big for NA app. I also notice that the angle of the end of the center pipe ( where it bolts on to the tail pipe/muffler ) is not compatible with the OEM ones, as least it does not look like it in the photos. I'm guessing this center pipe will not fit the OEM or other after market tail pipe/muffler due to the angle difference at the end of this center pipe, that's why I'm guess they offer their own tail pipe/muffler to go with it, which it's a bummer.I contact the seller about this and he/she replied, "yes the mid pipe is designed to fit the factory header system. however these were fabricated for US application and we are not sure about overseas fitments." "the mid pipe shown here is intended to work with the rear section as shown; it will not work with the factory tail pipe." sure enough, i was right on the money, I will go with the Nitto center pipe, because I want to keep my GReddy Ti-C exhaust

I JUST bought this plus the OBX header, will post up some pics when I install.
Overall, the quality of the header and this system looks really good, I think i might have to lengthen my 02 sensor wires though. and you can't beat the price!

I'm thinking about getting this as well. I already contacted the seller and he confirms that it will fit an 07 LB.
Now I just need to know if it will fit my W*R header... Looking forward to those pics, @computerlove87!

I think it looks like the axle back will fit the stock system, but I just looked quickly, I will be installing this weekend. My first impression of the muffler and the midpipes is that everything looks good, the muffler is VERY heavy compared to the more expensive ones like the Tanabes, but it's still slightly lighter than the stock muffler and it looks ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, I can't stop staring at it!!!

Keep us updated and take pics, if everything goes well I may consider purchasing this. Do you have an aftermarket header?

computerlove, keep us posted, as OBX confirmed they don't make it for the Yaris and that is not a valid part number. Maybe this seller figured something out, I don't know.

Well, it looks like i'm returning the header, I opened my engine and noticed something is missing from the header.... Try to guess what
OBX header.jpg (02 sensor bung) I will be putting on the cat-back exhaust tomorrow provided it doesn't rain.

Can you take pics of the center pipe and confirm if it fits the OEM tail pipe?
Garm, when will you have the Nitto one in stock?

I started a bit too late and it got dark and I didn't want to keep trying in the dark. I am positive though that none of this system will fit with the stock system. It does seem to fit the car pretty well, but it will not work with any stock components. I will probably have to try this again next weekend or something.
How do you get the little nubs out of the rubber holders to get off the stock exhaust system? I managed to get off the muffler, but it took forever, I was wedging things in the side trying to pry them off, am I missing something?
