The Gen 2 Toyota Yaris GR, renowned as one of the hottest hatchbacks on the market, has received a significant performance upgrade in the form of an EC Type-approved exhaust system developed by Milltek Sport. This precision-engineered component, now available through official Toyota dealers in Germany, promises to elevate the driving experience for enthusiasts of the iconic compact powerhouse.
Designed for Precision, Crafted for Performance
The new exhaust system is a product of Milltek Sport’s dedicated research and development arm, Milltek GmbH, based at the Nürburgring—the proving ground for high-performance vehicles. This location served as the perfect setting to refine the exhaust, ensuring it meets the rigorous standards expected by both the automotive industry and performance car enthusiasts.
The 76mm (3-inch) resonated cat-back system is crafted from high-quality T304L stainless steel, offering not only enhanced durability but also resistance to corrosion. The system includes a center silencer, rear silencer, and dual outlet pipes, delivering a harmonious balance of performance and sound refinement.
Versatile Aesthetic Options
To suit a variety of styles, Milltek Sport offers a selection of 115mm (4.5-inch) exhaust tips. These come in five striking finishes:
- Polished Stainless Steel for a classic look
- Cerakote Black for a sleek, modern appeal
- Brushed Titanium for a race-inspired aesthetic
- Burnt Titanium for a vibrant, gradient finish
- Carbon Fiber for a premium, lightweight appearance
Each tip option complements the aggressive yet refined character of the Yaris GR, ensuring visual customization alongside performance enhancements.
Performance That Meets Legal Standards
What sets this exhaust apart is its full EC Type Approval, meaning it meets strict European road legality standards while delivering an upgraded auditory and performance experience. This certification ensures the system adheres to noise and emissions regulations, allowing customers to enjoy enhanced performance without compromising on compliance.
Steve Pound, Managing Director of Milltek Sport, emphasized the significance of the certification:
