Wait hold up, if you really going to debadge the car and put toyota emblems on it you have to go all the way...why have a scion emblem staring at you? Its very ghetto if you have a mix of scion and toyota emblems...


But yeah its expensive, but it is bad ass and true to the core!

The bottom line is......it's only money, you can't take it with you.
You paid over msrp??

Sure there are cheaper exhausts out there, but if you like this one, then the extra $400 or whatever you pay for it is worth it. I heard this one at the First Drive event, thought it sounded pretty good.

i wish they were cheap since TRD is the only one that have the D-shape tips, and they look the best

Well, different then to say support the vendors, over support just any small business. I'm not sure, but I thought I heard TRD parts don't void warranty either.

Most Scions are made in Japan if not all, from what I remember reading.
