Exhaust Sounds, Want Deep and Loud Sound without decreasing performance

I have a 2011 v6 Taco i am used to driving a v8 with flowmaster 10's. I know it is not possible to get the same sound from a v6 but i was wondering what are some exhaust systems (preferably cat back only) that can give me a loud and deep tone. I have heard best about the flowmaster american thunder system but am also interested in such as MBRP, Magnaflow, Gibson, and any others. Keep in mind loud to me is not a ricer tone id like a sound you hear from trucks not tuner cars. Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

I've heard many good thinks about Borla, as well as the TRD. I know a couple of guys on here have AeroTurbine, if you search for the sound clips on here, you might get a better idea. I plan to get one as soon as I get the cash.

 

Hi Josh welcome to the forum. We have plenty of threads on exhaust most that I've read have gotten Borla or Flowmasters and like them.
Read up and welcome to the forum prepare to start spending all of your money!

 

I've got a Flowmaster 10 series and it doesnt sound bad for a v6. Like others have said though you'll never make it sound like a v8. They will always sound slightly rice being that they are a Japanese motor. And welcome to TW!

 

I have TRD and my buddy has a Borla on his FJ and we both agree the TRD sounds better all around. I love the sound of my TRD, very low and throaty.

I have a TRD Cold Air intake with the largest pro dry filter that can fit and the Jardine cat back exhaust and I love the sound of mine. It can get a little loud but it's not bad while cruising.

and yes that was poor planning on my part in terms of where I set the camera up but good thing it's an olympus tough.

 

Hang on while we tell you how to get everything everyone wants with no compromises whatsoever for cheap.

Be right back.

 

I really appreciate all the thread links and information. Im still pretty new to the searching for things here at TW.

 

i think magnaflow generally has a nice deep baratone, w/ little rasp... i have a magnaflow on my '99 trans am, ..and it is great!.. not sure how the magnaflow for the tacoma is, but a couple clips i've heard here on TW, it sounded pretty good to me..

 

I've got the stainless American Thunder Cat Back with duals out...I'm pretty damned happy and get eyes opened often...not a rice burner sound!

 

My taco has an after market dual exhaust, not sure what? very throaty. Have to crank my tunes on the hwy. Will try to find out what make it is

 

I don't remember were i saw it but i was looking at some thread that some dude cut the pipe ,after the muffler, were it starts to point down. I actually wanted to do it myself but i was wondering is that legal? or is it just for sound?

 

Check your states inspection laws

 

will do, thanks

 

I'm sure it helps a little bit with sound but I think most people do that for when they off road and the axle flexes up it doesn't hit the pipe.

 

IMO, save your money. As stated by others, a six wacker is not an eight wacker. Even V8s with coffee can mufflers sound bad IMHO.

Having had other hot rods before, unless you have a lumpy cam and full length headers with large pipes, it's going to sound lame. I speak from experience.
