Car and Driver has a short !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about the FR-S RS 1.0.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

It's yellow, has a bit of a lip kit, a spoiler, lower suspension than a normal FR-S quad exhaust and no extra power. But of course, it'll probably cost a little bit more like most Scion RS cars do. Kind of disappointed that TRD didn't do any light engine mods this time around, maybe the RS2.0 will get something if that becomes a thing.

What are you talking about Bro? One Exhaust pipe per Cylinder now, relieving all that back pressure should be good for at least 25HP, Bro!

Plot twist: exhaust only comes out of one pipe, the other 3 are for show.

I know that exhausts don't do a whole lot, but does it add any HP? Like is it just not being publicized? Even an extra 5 hp, on a 200hp car, it wouldn't be bad for a bolt-on.

You would need a full exhaust to really get a difference, you might see light gains from a less restrictive downpipe. I dunno if this car has an upgraded exhaust or just some fancy mufflers.

I'm still hoping it'll actually connect diresctly to each side, and includes high flow cats. I can dream can't I?

At this point, just concede that if you want more power from a Toyobaru, you need one of these

Or just buy a couple Miatas and a turbo for less than the price of a Toyobaru...

You can dream but when you wake up, the disappointment will be immense.

THIS is the epitome of sportiness! Only the most optimum performing vehicles have 4 exhaust pipes!
