    My B6 is 1 7/8" pipe, no cat, and a V force muffler at the back. It's annoying but I like it!!!

        I dont get it, with that muffler hanging off the back your car should be rather quite, hey is that the weight saver kind of muffler. lol

        An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                Right now my exhaust rusted out right before the cat so I have literately no exhaust. Its coming straight out of the downpipe. Ridiculously loud, but sounds totally brutal. I love it. When I swap engines I'm going to get a new exhaust system though because I'm probably getting hearing damage and the fumes are bad when I'm stopped at a light

                    I just got a brand new Borla system made for a Scion tC for $21 that I'm going to cut up and use for the Festiva. Should sound real nice I hope.

                      Did you get a deal, or is there a source?
                      Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

                        Got a deal from work. I work for a Toyota Distributor and they had a bunch of extra sample accessories sitting on a shelf so they had a silents auction and donated all of the proceeds to the American Heart Association. They had a bunch of stuff but just a few things that could be used for a Festiva. Plus we had the stipulation that we weren't allowed to get caught selling things after we bought them. I got another Corolla Borla system for $11 that I'm going to use for a different car and a Yaris Spoiler for $5 that I'm going to try to fit the the Festiva and roll of LEDs for $10.

                          Awesome deal! The borla will sound great.

                            On my 1.3l I had ordered the FMS exhaust, put the car on a lift to change it out, hammered all the stuffing out of the cat, and of course the cat-back system didnt' fit. I had to drive it home with the exhaust manifold and hollowed out cat, and it was unbelievably loud.

                            With the bosal muffler on, it wasn't as loud, but still way louder than your average loud car. Do not recommend.

                              Cat and 1 7/8" straight pipe to the 2" 'muffler substitute pipe'. A bit louder but not overwhelming. At least i don't think so....LOL.

                                I'll sum it up. Unless a whipping a turbine on the way out, any 4banger off the Manifold is going to sound gross.
