Cheapest exhaust?
I'm looking for sound more than power without getting ricey. The Megan axle back runs $225, but is there a full cat back system for <$300?

Go to your local muffler shop. They can fab something up for you that'll cost you less than $300. Stick with 2" piping and get a Magnaflow if you want a deep sound.

I want a center exit but have a trailer hitch, so I'm going to do a custom dual exit setup that goes on both sides if the receiver, which is hardly visible anyway. One of my friends has a Borla muffler that is nice and loud but not ricey at all. Since there's no emissions regs should I go cat free?

What's the HP difference with vs without a cat?
I'm sure there's no real HP gain from any exhaust on the Yaris though. The only way to make serious power is forced induction on the 1NZ... |

If you decide to be catless and to remove your stock resonator, you can opt for hi flow cats and a 24" resonator and you should be fine. Also, the choice of muffler will also play a big role in the noise department.
If you all remember, my car was pretty loud. However, I have taken off the magnaflow muffler and put on a new one. The noise level is near the same as was my Blitz axleback. This is having no cats and a 18" resonator. I will post pics soon. Tomorrow I am having a 2.25" hi flow cat put on. This will make my setup very nice. The exhaust won't be drowning everything out, and you'll hear more of the whinnneeeee! |

I updated my post. I used a magnaflow brand muffler. It was a straight thru design which didn't help it to be quiet. Borla is known to have a deep sound, but you can definately hear it when you give it some gas. However, I don't think they are as loud as magnaflows or flowmasters.

LOL. I still have both cats, and the stock resonator. May be that's why mine is quiet...but I don't know why some axle-backs are louder than my resonator-back?
