Exhaust Popularity Poll.. TRD, Magnaflow, FlowMaster

TRD is about the closest you're going to get to this...it's deep, mellow, but NOT very loud....no rasp at WOT, very smooth sounding. It's a good exhaust if you want something tasteful.

No, nothing is going to make these engines sound like V8s...because they aren't V8s.

 

Just run striaght cats.. I tried flowmaster dumped and with duals and I like straight pipes the best. They of coarse are a little raspy, but only when you really get on it. Since it is a V6 it is still quiet when you need it to be. I know its not for everyone, but its definatley the closest you will get to a V8..

 

Go with Doug thorley long tube headers, urd y pipe and urd cat back turbo, free from caddy convertz. when u need to get a emissions test quickly swap back on ur stock exhaus.

 

I have a 18 inch magnaflo muffler and it sounds great. Little drone in the cabin but thats only when it holds at low RPM like cruising up a hill or something.

I love it... gives a nice sound to it when it needs to and isnt to loud for the truck.

 

I have Spintech as well.

I used to have a Magnaflow, but wanted something a little louder, just not as loud as a Flowmaster

 

do most shops sell spintech, or do you have to order them from their website?

 

I just went to a local shop. After telling them I didn't really like the Magnaflow, they recommended the Spintech. Just ask your local muffler shop. Even if they don't have it, they probably can order it.

 

I voted other because I love how the URD catback sounds on my Dcab.

It sounded super clean with just the TRD intake and exhaust

Just had a Magnaflow installed using the OEM pipe and a polished tip. I have to admit, when I pulled into traffic right afterwards I almost regretted it for a second. But even 2 hours later, I LOVE IT. It has already mellowed out (I know some disagree with this theory, but it's better already) some, and now sounds just about perfect for me. This is the first exhaust that I have put on anything non-V8, and I'm pleased. I too was not looking for the rice burner sound, and I don't think this exhaust has it. I'm very happy.

 

I have Magnaflow on my Escape however I'm leaving the Taco stock

 

Updating this just to keep people who are considering mufflers informed. My new-found love with the Magnaflow has worn off quickly. It's just way too loud and droney for me, so I'm actually going back to stock. Just something to keep in mind.

 

I *really* like how the TRD keeps the majority of it's noise outside the cab compared to other systems I've heard. If you're still looking for something, give the TRD a shot.

 

That's good to know, and I will definitely keep it in mind. I thought maybe a Magnaflow w/ stock cats and resonators would be reasonable, but it won't work. If I do exhaust again, I'll definitely go TRD. Just too much noise in the cab w/ the Magnaflow for someone who drives as much as I do. But at least I can use the muffler w/ my Mustang by adding another one.

 

I have the opportunity to get a TRD catback exhaust for $200. Can ou let me know if this is a good deal?

 

$200 is very good (best discounted price for new is now around $400, + shipping), if it's in decent condition.

 

flowmasters are raspy with the long tube headers tho

 

Just installed a Magnaflow cat back... sounds awesome. Low deep rumble.. LOVE it!

 

Hey guys I have a question, I want to just weld on a new muffler not sure which one yet, what size stock pipe do I have in my 96 3.4L?

 

Had a 40 series Flowmaster put on this morning... SOOO FREAKING AWESOME!

 

whats a good exhaust for some deep sound? and low cost as well as high quality. i am in the market now and wanna get a good one. and must be available to go dual.
