    Guys,

    This is my 1st Tacoma and I've noticed a very loud droning noise that fills the cabin when accelerating.

    Is this normal for these rigs? or did the previous owner put some other kind of muffler on? or what's going on here?

    2008 TRD SR5 DCSB V6

    Thanks guys.

    I would check the exhaust and see if anything looks like it has changed. If it is stock it shouldnt sound like a "loud droning noise".

    Yep, Most likely you have a non stock muffler.
