    Hello everyone, new to TW, but longtime Taco owner. I bought an 09 Tacoma Doublecab V6 SR5 awhile back and have been slowly working on putting in new parts. I have a K&N intake, 3" lift and 33" procomp AT tires. The guy I bought it from swears that he put a Flowmaster exhaust in, however Im not convinced. To me it looks like a stock exhaust that he just chopped off after the muffler, was wondering if I could get some input from yall as to what you think. Ill post the picture below. Thanks in advance.

    Just post a pic of the muffler. The stock muffler is pretty bulky

    Looks aftermarket but wouldn't hurt to get replaced. It's pretty rusted up. We'll seems like it

    Sure looks like an aftermarket FM to me... rusty as shit and everything. Is that being held up with a chain?

    haha funny story about that, the weld holding the exhaust snapped while driving on the freeway so i short term chained it up and then rewelded it and left the chain on as a backup.
