Top Tip from a GR Yaris owner. If you put the car in expert mode (Hold the traction button down) it will remove the soft limiter when stationary allowing more revs!

That's an amazing exhaust design.. love the delete covers. Well thought of 10/10.

Too bad center exit exhaust is actually worse in terms of the specific issue with the rear clutch pack overheating. Side exit is actually better.

The GR Corolla is living up to the hype and I love seeing Toyota back in the performance car realm. Completely unrelated, I would like to see a modern Evo vs STi shootout on here. An Evo X and an equivalent year/model STi. I know the Evo vs STi horse has been beaten to death, but it never gets old and your builds are always supreme. Keep up the great content!

Thought the exact same thing

Got a season of autocross in with my GRC Core w/Performance, and it's been a great car so far. Alignment and tires are all I've done to it, and it rips.

I’ve had mine for 10 months now and absolutely love it

I bet it’s always a breath of fresh sure for you guys to work on a rust-free car. Tastefully modded and great video as always guys.

I’m. a Australian gr4 Yaris owner. They are way better at smiles than any other for mine. It’s so interesting to see what you Americans are doing with these sole full cars.

Totally agree on the stock exhaust. That new unit looks the way it should have come from the factory.

that new exhaust sounds incredible on track. i am always surprised at how good MBRP exhausts sound, they're priced very well. car looks super capable and composed on track, what a ripper!

He's driving a Morizo, most of us won't ever get to drive. Morizo has suspension upgrades and better tires.

Dave’s comedy moments are the best, lean into it!

Those wheels really suit the car. You guys need to do a build on the new Tacoma when it comes out.

Disconnect the battery, install intake. Reconnect battery. The computer will be in learning mode and adjust air to fuel properly. I had to do that with my Corolla using AEM intake

Great video as always guys! If you could in the futur test the endurance, like a 20min lapping session, because many reported overheating problems. Thx!

Its a known issue. The rear diff overheats and the engine oil gets pretty hot considering they are using 0W-20. This is more of a canyon/DD than track weapon. Still glad to see Toyota getting back in the game.

Thats how I like it. I don't having my car too loud. The sounds is just right for me.

Good to see the GR finally on the track. I know Toyota put some of their best tech in the car but I was puzzled by some new fangled oil metering device Dave used before driving. Do you think Toyota will let BMW have this tech as part of their collaboration with the Supra?

I had a 2020 STI which ended in a total loss unfortunately. Really loving what Toyota is doing with the GR division and might hop on a 2024 GR Corolla once the dealerships start getting them in.

Beautiful car. Love the MBRP exhaust. You should add a upgraded performance intercooler to keep the intake Temps down.

Siick. I love this car. Coming from a Honda nerd that bought a 2010 4runner, my love for Toyota has only been growing.

Got my ITR shirt featured in this video the other day. Wearing it now :D As for this Corolla GR. Yeah, fantastic cars. But the same can be said about the base Corolla hatchback now. The TNGA-C suspension is crazy solid. There's a monster hiding in that chassis, and I always thought it was a better 86 than the GT/GR/FRS/BRZ 86. The real problem with the non-GR Corolla is the lack of low end torque. But once you open up the airbox with a TRD box, and get rid of the massive downstep in the exhaust right before the axle back flange, the M20A really does come to life after about 4500RPM and loves the high rev range. I did RS*R coilovers, sticky Falken RT's on a 17" RPF1, progress rear sway bar, previous gen corolla front endlinks (slightly shorter), TRD air box, and a Toms Racing front chassis brace. Pure backroading bliss and still capable of 40mpg under normal driving. I think the really only weak point in these cars are the manual trans. Don't think Toyota expected people to beat on these cars too hard. lol But I am sure the GR trans is MUCH better than a base trans.

Great job guys. Digging the new look. It kind of looks like an optional performance pack and i think its dope asf

Perfect upgrades, the car looks and sounds amazing. The only extra thing I would have done is to wrap the block-off plates for the side exhaist tips in gloss black to make it blend perfectly with the rear diffuser, still, such an upgrade over the stock exhaust.

I was disagreeing with you until I saw the new exhaust installed. Definitely the right look ! 👌

Always look forward to uploads on Saturdays! Awesome content!

That exhaust set up is 🔥

Love you guys. Keep up the great work. You are literally the best channel I watch. I look forward to you guys over Adam Lz…jimmy oaks….gears and gasoline. They are great, but you guys just top them.

The GRY/GRC is the best "stock" car I've ever owned (comparing to Focus RS, Evo X, Evo 8 & 200SX S15). Evo's are still best when it comes to modification though, by far!

@@JG-mg3if It's a Christmas present, so I'll get it Monday. The Forge unit only replaces the upper box and intake pipe though which gives a higher flow filter and less turbulent intake air flow. Not messing with anything in the lower box will keep the CEL issues and that's why the Forge option doesn't cause them.

Always a treat seeing you track your cars

The stance/wheel/tire setup is perfect.

Single exit exhaust is a mean-looking addition. My only issue with it (and also mine on 86) - the cavity created behind the bumper (under the trunk floor) is massive and acts like a catch for all debris on the road. I had an incident I drove over a dead possum, and it caught on the edge of the rear bumper almost ripping it off. Maybe try to come up with a thin, aluminum plate connecting the bottom edge of the bumper with the subframe?

For those that watched the BMW build series...the oil top off using the syringe made me chuckle!

Nice exhaust choice.. that would be my pick too - would be good to include weight savings with that kind of thing given little to no HP improvment. Wheels look great too, though I suspect RFP1 would be lighter (I'd go 17" too for the mass reduction). Surprised you went with stock tire size on such wide wheels. I'd have increased the fronts at least to 265 maybe.

I agree on the look of the exhaust, I like the middle but the side ones are a little small for my taste. Probably still keep mine stock as u like it more than dislike. But if I was tjj in change it it would be for the Apexi N1 .

So glad to hear a modern car can feel analog and soulful i had lost hope in modern vehicles. Amazing video as always, should have had a pedal box cam so we could see daves clutch foot having a spaz trying not to rev match

Gaaah I love small cars and my next car is really down to one of these, a '22 Veloster N, a 24 BRZ/GR86, or a 24 ND4 Miata

It has a dipstick! Already winning.

Most likely than not, the CEL from an aftermarket intake is an emissions code. The new mustang GT does the same thing, when you remove the carbon traps, the car sees a slight HP bump but you get a CEL even if there are no intake leaks shown by STFT and LTFT being spot on. All it is, is the ECU looks for a certain amount of airflow for a given throttle input and if it sees more than what it should see, the ECU throws a CEL because it thinks/knows you removed the carbon traps. Ford does it in a real sneaky way btw, the gen4 coyote in the mustang if I'm not mistaken, adjusts fueling via a MAP sensor now, and yet you see two throttle bodies dumping into a single plenum (that's suspicious and not at all for performance), then you see one intake tube per TB and a MAF sensor on each intake. Again, a MAP based engine with MAF sensors. Why use a redundant way of fueling a car like that if it wasn't to "snitch" that you changed the airflow in to he engine. It's a real shame that we can't even change an intake on these newer cars for power. Now, we're going to be changing intakes for looks and not in hopes of power.

If we made an exhaust like that people would laugh from factory it's cool 😅

That exhaust looks SO much better than the weird OEM one. Good one.

What a awesome car!! I’d really like to get one of these! The exhaust sounds amazing also in my opinion!

I wish we got the Yaris version. They had them in Germany when I was stationed there. I wish I could have test driven one but they were not common during the pandemic

That exhaust is a huge visual upgrade. I really dislike the stock exhaust look on these. I would spray the side exit blockoff plates gloss black so they match the diffuser. Maybe also push the tips in a little more if you can too.

So they fix the overheating for the slip for the Yaris? You not getting any CEL with that intake? I have a CCE myself 👍🏽

Have to say that I didn’t liked the wheels choice and the exhaust tips so outside the bumper line. For the wheels I would go the JDM route!

stick a roll bar in the rear, and the build is done!

Have you guys thought of adding OBD2 info/telemetry to your track videos? It make take a bit more work to overlay the info (RPM, Speed, boost, TPS, coolant/oil temps, braking, ABS engagement, etc), but I tend to be way more engaged in track videos when I can see more detail of what's going on compared to commentary only.

Did I ever tell you how much I love your shop?

And the M3 is still on jackstands 😂👍

I'm surprised you guys didn't throw some heat wrap around the exhaust when switching it out, many people have reported overheated rear clutch packs at the track

I literally 👌 at the monitor when I seen how good the single exit exhaust looked lol

Wow! Great job on the car guys. 👍🏾. Loving that new exhaust. I could barely hear the old one. Has to turn the volume up. 😂

I would've loved to see a before-and-after comparison. How is this car truly stock versus how the mild improvements helped. Other than that, good job!

Now that is an exhaust for that car!

sounds like a mitsubishi 3000gt. I love the 6g72

Should have done a before and after track video to see what mods improved anything or a waste. I'm willing to bet there wouldn't be any lap time improvement mod vs stock. The wrap looks great and takes the headache out of maintaining the matte paint.

The gloss PPF makes this, the hands down, the best color. Loving the oem+ mods. What are your alignment settings? How were the engine oil temp? Oil temp sensor could be sitting in the oil pan so maybe thats why theyre so high even when its cool out and water never tops 210F

Tilt of this hat on the wheels guys. Style & fitment, top notch.

Wow that back area where the exhaust sits is a MASSIVE open area all to be trapped by that low hanging rear pumper. Shame Toyota didn't properly vent that... You could cut that entire "diffuser" out and reduce rear end lift and drag dramatically.

GR corolla = SICK!

The air intake thing sounds like what us Subaru Guys deal with, our cars do all sorts of weird things with cold air intakes because the calibration on the car expects to see specific things and when a cold air intake is thrown on it changes a bunch of things and throws off all the readings. Expect this intake issue only be resolved when that ECU gets cracked and tuners can make calibrations for the different brands of intakes on the market.

@ragweedmakesmesneeze

8 ай бұрын

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I think it's been fairly well documented that at least in modern cars, after-market intakes, at best, don't improve on the factory performance of a vehicle, and at worst, well, they make them worse. In part because the ECUs are pretty smart and keep a car operating within specs no matter what kind of plumbing changes you make. Or at least, that's my understanding of it.

factory intakes are always the best😂😂 we can’t question engineers

SXTH has a larger PCV hose coming out for the intake issue, it won't be long.

In this case, I think the suspension plays the biggest role on the driveability. I would bet the stock suspension would really hinder overall performance. (the right exhaust tip is sticking out more than the left)

god that new exhaust looks 10000x better

What does the FL5 run at your track? That would be the comparison.

I cannot help but think the rear bumper is now a parachute and the opportunity to either smooth it out or turn it into a diffuser was lost.

Love watching these

Great video, and love the track test 👌 Now, I'd hope and expect the track focused edition of the GR Corolla especially after even more track focused suspension ' wheels and tyres are fitted to out perform a stock fk8 . Alll up that car with mods would be double the price of what I paid for a new fk8 in Australia' S50'500 vs around $100k in Australia so I'd definitely expect that kind of improvement no doubt about it.

I like the looks of the exhaust (original setup is questionable tbh) and the spoiler. Not sure about the rims. I’d prefer the stock ones.

the 3 tip is way cool

I have a gr corolla myself, the sxth element intake does not give off a CEL

That exhaust is so badass🦾🦾🖤🖤🔥🔥😈😈!’nn

I think the stock exhaust is beautiful

Take it to savagegeese and have a track day battle with their FL5 and modified GR Corolla. Looks like you have yours very dialed in and not over driving it to overheat the diff....
