Fitment testing for the Medalion Touring Exhaust was quite successful. There was proper clearance - the exhaust fit like a charm! Notice the oval canister mounted in the old-school vertical position.

Toyota Yaris 5-Door
Next on the list was a fitment test for the Concept G Exhaust System. It's already an existing part for the Toyota Yaris, but this is the first time testing it on the 5-Door model. As you may know, the 5-door Yaris is slightly longer compared to the other models.
Nevertheless, the exhaust did fit. However, the muffler was too close to the rear bumper, and a revision will have to be made.

Next, it was time to install the Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C Coilovers. The S-0C coilovers have the benefit of adjustable ride height while allowing proper suspension stroke and comfort.
This S-0C test was done with the coilovers set to the lowest ride height setting. A bit of driving revealed a comfortable ride despite the low ride height. It's a win-win situation! Next, we test the coilover at medium-tall height.

Before installing the front strut tower bar, the engine bay was inspected and measured. It's important to have the proper clearances.
The tower bar fit nicely in the engine compartment!
Mission accomplished. The tower bar aids in vehicle stability and it gives the chassis increased rigidity.
