new here with some ?'s

Hi, my name is Brian and I'm new here. I have a 2006 tacoma 2.7 4x4 and I am looking at changing the muffler to somthing a little louder but dont want to spend alot of money. what size muffler do I need? and length of it? trying to keep it simple just cut and clamp I dont want to have to add in extra piping and such.
Also any good intakes out there?
Thanks in advance

 

Hey man, welcome.

Having the same ride as you, i know what you mean about sound. There are a ton of threads out there, so just do a little searching. Go to the tuning page, and there is a thread with a lot of clips as well.

As for size, any shop would be able to tell you the size of your muffler.

On personal preference, a lot of the mufflers out there end up sounding rice. There is a guy with a Thrush welded muffler on his 5lug, which i LOVE. When i bit the bullet, thats what i would get.

For intakes, not too too much out there for the 4bannger, but AFE seems to be popular around here.

 

Someone on here a few weeks back posted a vid clip for their gibson exhaust on their 2.7, and it sounded really bad-ass.

 

i have a flowmaster 40 on my 2.7 and it sounds great with the intake, got it put on after the intake so idk what it would sound like with just the muffler...

 

hey man welcome,

well there are alot of options out there i personally love magnaflow thats what i have on my truck (08 2.7L) i think it sounds great i have alot of people talling me they like the sound. i forget the size of mine but i can figure that out easy for you if youd like.

so here is a vid of what it sounded like right after i got it put on. but at the moment i have the magnaflow muffler, knn intake, and DT headers i think the combo sounds really good. anyway here is the vid hope it helps out.
