Toyota PRIUS with a Flowmaster Muffler
/ autoedits_jason
This is a quick video feature on a Toyota Prius with a "sporty" muffler.
As a hot rodder, I needed a reliable car for my wife that would make her happy and keep our costs down so that I could spend any spare income on project cars. So, in 2004, we bought this thing. I wasn't thrilled with the purchase but the car fit the bill at the time and has traveled 143,000 trouble free miles but is still really, really boring.
Then I cut the stock muffler off, welded up a Flowmaster and a chrome tip to play a joke on my wife and I ended up leaving it on there. It cracks me up to hear this thing pull in to the driveway!

Great video man! My mom had a few prius' and I decided to get one. I'm a die hard gas guzzler guy though at the same time. But as a simple, basic, reliable and efficient mode of transportation, the prius is unbeatable.
Next mod: Fake blow-off valve sounds. (It's a CVT, so just have it play whenever you let off the throttle)

I own a 1985 Toyota straight axle 4x4. Stage 3 LC Engineering engine, Trail gear transmission + 4.70 transfer case. 1977 F150 Ford 4x4 with a 351m400 stroker engine. A 2001 XR650R race bike Kickstart only street legal. And a 2003 Toyota Prius with a Thornton stage 3 performance chip. According to the torque pro app it's putting out 151 horsepower. I'll turn the traction control off and it actually does burnouts. And so far out accelerates every car on the on-ramp. And still gets 30 miles to the gallon.. Born in 1960 I've been renting on vehicles since 1966. And love the surprise look on people's face when I smoke them in a little Toyota Prius.
My go to work car for a while was a 99 saturn sl1. Dark purple, 5 speed, slow as hell, but it got 40mpg average, cost 19 dollars a month for liability only, and it kept my trans am off the road when it was raining/snowing. So the purple plastic fantasic, even though it earned me lots of jokes from co-workers, was a great little car, and it kept my nice car, nice.

Not really but the main thing I noticed was that sitting in traffic the car was pretty loud since the engine is under load even while stopped. It was still kind of fun though.
Respect Brother! I've got this burning desire to swap a 4BT Cummins into a prius one of these days.
We ended up replacing the Prius and getting a Turbo Beetle...I'll do a video on it soon!
@thehammerofzuess Sorry to say the Maverick has been stalled for a few months now but it's coming back for some work soon.
@muratjc Thanks a ton! I am picking up a really cool car this week and am looking to get this video thing lit up again! Look for a new Aston Martin piece next week...which model is a mystery still.
If your wife wanted the true hippie mobile, she should get the volkswagen bus
@Shorty111R Howdy man! Yeah got that thing for $500, got it running and drove the crud out of it for about a year. I really wish I kept that thing. Hope you've been well!
im so doing this to my prius
2005 Prius here. White as well. 160,000 miles. Flawless. No unscheduled maintenance items. Tires, oil changes. Perfect machine. Would I buy it again? Absolutely. I'm getting 49mpg all the time at typical freeway speeds. If you're going to drive to work each day beyond 15 minutes each way (I go 35 minutes each way), it seems to me that the hybrid charging system sufficiently charges the drive battery on this kind of range. I'm on my original drive battery and I'm still getting 90% or better charge and all green lights. Love my Prius. Could care less for those who don't. Lol
I have a Prius V (wagon). It is far and away the most practical car I have ever owned. Even the brakes last a crazy long time due to regneerative braking. It cruises effortlessly at 80-90mph on the highway once you get there (just don't try getting there going uphill). I like cool cars too, and am looking for a GT convertible (Jaguar/mercedes SL. Cd XLR), but the Prius V does a lot right.
I have a '07 Prius that I put straight pipes from the cats back on, ending in dual chrome tips. so you're not the only one out there who did that.
Glad to see the view count. Some of your more under appreciated work. Love it!
I have a 1967 Camaro RS with a 700+ HP 468 BBC. I used to own a 2011 Shelby GT500 as my daily driver, then a Ford 2012 F250 6.7L Turbo Diesel. I sold them to get out of debt, support my hot rod habit, and now I drive a 2006 Scion Xb. Mopeds pass me on a daily basis, but it feels great to be out of debt and have a 700 HP monster for days when I don't feel like driving the toaster.
Your videos are solid; it is only a matter of time before you have your own show. Keep up the great work! BTW, my sweet wife has those same hippie bags in the back of her Toyota; I swear she is collecting them. God bless our ladies for saving the world for the rest of us hot-rodding knuckleheads to burnout on.
Love that you took what you had to work with and made some fun with it. That's what I do. Even though I hate the prius I'm pretty sure I'd mod it and I understand where you are coming from, happy wife, happy life.
For five years, I drove Priuses for a company called Planet Tran. They are a green-minded car service/limo company that operates out of Boston and San Francisco and exclusively uses Toyota Priuses. They were the first company of their kind. Of the dozens of Priuses I drove over the years, not a single one ever broke down on me. They were all super reliable and sturdy. I even got rear-ended a couple of times and hit a deer in them with barely noticeable to no damage to the car each time. The other thing is I am also a great appreciator of hot rods, muscle cars, etc. I'm definitely far more into that kind of stuff than hybrids and other 'hippie-mobiles'. But while they are indeed a "soulless turdbox" of a car, it is still an impressive vehicle in many ways and one for which I have garnered an unexpected appreciation.
Dude, I own an automotive fab shop. I'm building everything from a 600ci desert truck, to an LS1 Z3 pro-am drift car right now. But my wife has a prius. looking at the technology in this car, it really does make you appreciate just how complex yet deadly reliable it is. I have a lot of respect for it. plus the nearly 1k lbs of payload capacity, it'll hold all sorts of car parts. Hell there's ten 50lb bags of horse feed in the back of it. I even built a hitch to tow the dirt bikes behind it. I tossed some nice color matched 16" tuner rims on it and some 20%. It's charcoal, so the wheels and tint are subtle but completely change the appearance into something a lot more Sporty and attractive. It looks pretty cool for a Prius.
just came across this vid. LOVE IT BRO!!!

My 2013 Prius does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds. Turbo charged with an amplifier cell on the battery when in power mode. Previous owner did it.
Plural of Prius is Prii (Pre-eye)....sounds good to me.
Prius manual: "Do not tow" Me in my prius: tows a trailer with 1000lbs for 1000miles at 74mph with 0 problems at 40mpg
It's even more fun if you turn off traction control in the 2nd gen Prius and chirp the tires everywhere. I even got a 3-5 sec burnout in the one at my work
Nothing goes untouched. Not even a crappy car.
@Neckbonekat1029 Hey that's no Auto Zone exhaust...that's American Made Flowmaster goodness right there! And I believe most modifications start the process of a hot rod. Soon as you personalize it, it's a hot rod to you. Then you can break it down into "full custom" "low rider" "pro-street" etc. Even though a "tuned" Civic with a coffee can muffler is not my thing...I appreciate that to the dude driving...it IS his thing. I appreciate almost anybody who spends money and time on their rides!
Awesome, gonna find an exhaust for my new Avalon Limited hybrid 👍
@sunsets25 Thanks so much, and yes, thank goodness for those patient wonderful women who support us and help keep balance in the world!!!
@NedacFilms Yup...I really like that car a bunch and proud America makes that thing but it is still way to expensive for us! $40k for that thing, ouch.
This guy loves to troll his wife so much that he slapped a Mustang emblem on her Prius.
@starksy17 Yup! pretty much any of the TDI stuff kicks ass.
I sometimes get up to 45 mpg on my inline six bimmer. Depends how I drive. Only difference is, I don't look like a complete idiot doing it. Tree huggers

showed my fiancé a prius once, she took one look and said wtf is that piece of crap..... found a keeper
I've seen this vehicle in Santa clarita lol. The prius does sound bad ass though.
Miata is a good choice, my friend Corey has one and it's a real sporty thing but we have two good sized dogs and need more room!
Add more batteries till the car has 500 ft/lbs of torque THEN you will have a hot rod Prius. Right now it looks like a 16 year old had $100 burning a hole in his pocket and the keys to his grandma's car

Best Bass Boosted Hot rods use gasoline not electricity. The Tesla Sport is not a hot rod and it keeps up with a Ferrari 360spider.
I'd have to go with a Honda Fitt. It's got a huge interior space, the black limited edition looks soooo good, and actually beats a Prius in gas mileage. Also it has a variable transmission, so there's no shifting. At highway speeds it runs normal RPMs, around 2300. Such a good car, and you don't get the hype of driving a Prius.
Great video. I absolutely love mine. Best daily diver
I have dreamed of muscle cars, hot rods, exotics, luxury, lowriders and of course extreme tuner cars that I enjoy and I love
Ah, that was my 1970 Cougar. It was my first ground up restoration and we really loved that car. Had to sell that but drove the crud out of it for a few years first!
2:15 made the wife happy. I'm gettin divorced and I'm keeping that thing. It's about to make me VERY happy =D I love that thing. I'll be getting me another motorcycle in the future. Best of both worlds soon to come!!
Getting a Prius next week, going to lift it, mud tires, armor it up, take it out for a spin on my backroads. There is a whole subculture of car guys that love Prius's because its pretty moddable when you take off the hate glasses. I know tons of hot rod, classics, etc guys who have their lovely build. Then they have a Prius or a Rogue or a whatever cheap and gets good gas to go to work in.
This looks like Santa Clarita?? Also I just put an exhaust on mine and it’s crazy loud now haha
I LOVE my little car! Why is just wet weather a problem? I know that the Integra GSR sometimes jumps timing teeth on the cam gears.
I would like to get a Honda Accord coupe, 2014. It would have the sport appearance package and the polished wheels.
I don't understand why you said you wouldn't buy another one at the very end? What were some of those other options you were referring to that you would buy instead?
Is this the same prius that Freiburger and Finnegan ran over with the tank?

Install a stage 3 Thornton performance tuning chip. Makes an incredible difference in acceleration and performance. And gets better gas mileage than it did before.
And you can fit 2x4s in the prius with the hatch closed.
I would get my 03 Monte Carlo ls back! Slow and drive dinosaur like, but got good gas mileage, was very reliable ( had 186,000 miles when I sold it, ran like a top) sounded pretty growly and just gave me chills thinking about the fact that I was driving a Monte Carlo. Even if it was from 03.
Nice mod that you put in, you should definitely consider for further modification.I agree what you said, Prius is the perfect car to get you from A to B, there is a reason of it's existence.
@Shorty111R Hey look, it's Shorty111R, LOL!!! Just wanted to personally thank you for mentioning to Jason that you wanted to see the 3rd Gen '82 Camaro project on KZread... I friggin love that video (and car)... and would actually like to see more videos of it.
dude thats a great idea i had been told bad stuff about these but dude that was awesome
It's the "only one out there" with a "cheap" exhaust and a "chrome tip" for a reason, lol. But superbly made video, and I agree with everything except slapping an inexpensive muffler on a Prius.
What my first car was, 03 Monte Carlo LS! It was cheap, did everything I told it to and gave me close to 30 mpgs. Loved that car, even if it was a plastic underpowered turd. And it made me happy! :)
@bobbybob3680 I know what you mean, I have always dug those Marauders too.
I don't think I could willfully live in the same house as someone who would want, let alone own a Prius.
Did you notice any power increase or better fuel economy after putting the muffler on?
I actually have a 2010 3rd gen Prius and my cousin has a 2013 Camaro. Every morning his car wakes me up and it gets me really jealous. How would I be able to get this Flowmaster muffler on the Prius? Should I go to a mechanic or is it easy enough to do myself? And where can I get it and which one in particular would I have to buy?
@KyleP133 Yup! That's exactly the point...the trick now is to do it with something way more fun than this car and still affordable.

You should put a 3 inch straight pipe exhaust with headers.

Enjoyed your video! We have two Prius(s) in our household, and like you have come to appreciate that they just run day in, day out problem-free. And when 95% of our driving is mundane city bumper to bumper, stop light to stop light, it's just as fast as the BMW M3 sitting next to us at the light, plus I only have to spend $3 dollars for every $10 he spends on gas. It adds up quickly. If I live in an area with twisty mountain roads, sure I'd be driving something else. We do have a nice little autocrossing corner-hugging manual tranny sports car to wake up the senses when needed.
If my wife demanded I bought her a Prius, she'd be sleeping on the sidewalk.
you need dual exhaust on that Prius.
😂 I’d get a Prius, then I’d start machining 272/282 cams, a stroker crank, and turn it from 40mpg to 6mpg 😂 but make 400whp in the process

dude my wife drives a prius, many you can relate. we are consistently cut off or tailed in a manner that would run a person off the road. however it sucks to be behind a slow prius. we are going with the flow of traffic and i feel like its out of spite. can you relate or no.
If I had to get a fuel efficient hybrid to support the hot rodding habit I'd get a Honda CR-Z. It's decently quick, has a manual transmission, looks sporty, and gets almost 40 MPG. Done.
Yea kinda hard to understand me :D Its got a swoopy hatchback look to it, especially the newer ones...their headlights have an angry look to them.
I am a car guy and I loved my prius. PERIOD! I also like Jeeps but that is an other story. My prius never let me down. It was fun to drive and is even peppy with 415nm of torque (Prius 2). It had lots of Fun drive it. Lots of room, went to lots of festival with it, went with it several times accross the country loaded with tents, sleepingbags and stuff. Gas here is twice as expensive as in the US. So it saved me a truckload of money. So what is the problem?
Hilarious!! I was just looking up some silly content, but nice to find you on here, Jason! Hope all is well, brother!
I've got an idea. How about a mid engine, LS powered Prius? Tint the windows to hide the swap....
So you like muscle cars but the stick the v6 Mustang emblem on?
My wife and I are thinking a new 40mpg Focus might be the ticket to keep our classic Mustangs on the road. For the Prius I'm definately thinking you need some rims and as you get close to trade in time in the future, you should slap on a cintrifugal super charger or a turbo just for a little bit of fun before it goes. At least give the turd box a chance at souldom.
I love your attitude! Haha nice!

It's probably just me, but I don't think driving a Prius is boring at all. I love the way it drives. I drove a friends '05 ford focus for a day, and I didn't care for it much. So far the Prius has not cost me anything in repairs and I'm getting about 48 mpg average.... Go Prii!
