Toyota Yaris 5-Door - Concept G Exhaust Test

by Tanabe USA 5. November 2009 20:05

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.
