If you want a cleaner looking rear end then i'd say go for it. At least with the exhaust being black you won't have to worry about it changing color or getting dirty since you won't see any of that.I am debating on having that canister resonator removed and keeping just the black rear muffler portion.
How does your 6'7" body fit if my 6'4" doesn't? I guess it's mostly the side to side leg room for me.I literally had to get my 6'7'' ass laying down flat on the ground to look at everything underneath there.

I too have a gen1 xB and in the iM, the door card and center console seem too close together for my legs to fit comfortably. Maybe I am spoiled from the first gen that doesn't have as much of a center console. Enjoy your iM!I am 6'7'' 260lb. I have about 4-5 in" of head room. I have my seat ALL the way down, and all the way back. You know the steering wheel is telescoping right? I got it adjusted pretty good 3-4" of clearance for my knees. I shift fine knee doesn't even com close to the steering wheel or door when engaging the clutch pedal. It's almost as roomy as my 1gen XB was.
I bet there's way more safety tech in this then there is in the xB due to all the developments that have been going on in the automotive world.I definitely feel a lot safer in this than I did in the XB... it's slightly more peppy (bigger motor, but bigger curb weight to go with it too). I'm enjoying the **** out of it right now... sometimes I wish I'd held on to my XB but I sold it right at 85,000 miles literally the week it was paid off, and sold it for $8,500. Best resale I've ever gotten off of any car I've ever owned.
Back on topic: Has anyone on here explored any of the Australian Toyota Corolla Levin exhaust options? I know that all of the motor options for the Toyota Auris are different than our USDM iM's, but the Toyota Levin is the same 1.8L motor as ours.

How heavy is it? A cat that size would be at least 15 lbs, a muffler just a few lbs.It is a muffler. There is a screen inside of it that looks like there may be a small secondary cat, but it'd have to be cut open to tell for sure. The primary cat just below the header is attached to this same piping, there is a bolt flange directly behind this piece though (an after market header would be about 4-5 feet long). There was no way to completely remove this piece without cutting it off.
In that case someone should just make a side exit exhaust for the iM.Glad you like to experiment LOL! But anyway's yeah that's like the scuba tank on the 2nd gen XB . I put the bolt on Borla dual exhaust which just deletes the stock muffler and is just 2 pipes and the dang thing was still silent. Sounded a lil better with strup header but that big tank keeps it quite for sure.
