Straight Piped tacoma thoughts

Looking into straight piping my 3.4L v6 and was wondering if it's worth it and if anyone has done it let me no thanks !

 

did that on my four banger- split the exhaust after the cat. Ran dual exhaust for years.
Not sure about doing it on the 6cyl.

 

Its not going to sound good my buddy didn't do straights but he did put pipes on there and they never sounded good.

 

when i gutted my cat i went around town for a drive and it was insanely loud and didnt sound very good at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q0cS6k9BzA

 

Might be alone in my own camp here, but very few cars don't sound like total shit with straight pipes.

 

agreed, there's alot of folks(especially the youngsters) that have the misconception that loud=power which is usually not the case. A good flowing muffler and properly sized pipes(bigger is not always better) will net the best performance

 

Every vehicle I've personally rode in with straight pipes was super loud, and super gutless because the low end was wrecked. Personally don't get the appeal of (maybe?) sounding fast and powerful but actually being the opposite.

 

Hey Dylan, why don't you go by Pleasant Hill P.D. and see what they have to say. Better yet, go by the Casper's Hotdog stand on Contra Costa Blvd while the CHP are having lunch and ask them, I'm sure they'd be glad to offer their opinion.

Don't do it!

 

No, because you live near me.

Yes, because I want something to laugh at every time you roll by.

There's quite a few straight piped Mustang's at DVC that should do that
