I agree, what size exhaust are you planning? Also what all have you done to your vibe? Before and after EGT's would also be interesting to know...

2-1/4" diameter exhaust is ideal for the 1ZZ.

I had my buddy run 2.5 all the way back from behind the first cat and had a pro flow muffler installed..It only cost me $240 installed and runs great it does take a lil getting used to since its much louder now..I'm starting to get used to it, I think thats what he meant when he said it would get quieter...
