What cat back do you recommend?

What cat back do you recommend? K&N, flowmaster other? Anyone have any luck over others?

 

magnaflow sounds nice for what u got

 

i was thinking of magnaflow. any better series than the other, or depends on the application?

 

jba is cheap....and good.

 

for starters, i would recommend going on youtube and searching for videos to get an idea of the different sounds.

 

However, they do not make a Catback System...

If you were looking for a Catback and not just a muffler you will have to look at the following:

AFE, BANKS, URD, RBP, BORLA, TRD,

I might have missed one.

For just a muffler here are your options:

Magnaflow, AERO, Dynomax, Flow master, and basically any muffler you can find a good shop to weld up for you pending inlet/oulet diameter and fit.

Now my reccomendations are:

For Catback, and you are going to stay NA = Borla or TRD
" " , and you plan on FI= Banks or URD (3" Diameter piping)

For Mufflers: Magnaflow or Aero. Dynomax is proven to gain HP, Im not into the chambered exh. I hate the quality and sound of flowmaster, but to each his own. If you want to mod stay away from shit that rust.

Oh, and FYI K&N does not make exhaust systems for our truck, nor any vehicle if my memory serves me right.

Enjoy,

 

I vote not a catback at all. A weld in muffler will be cheaper and gain you just much unless you are doing some heavy engine modifications...

 

Banks, sounds like a tank

 

Ill vouch for that....$1500 later...sounds fuckin sweet though!

 

right on. thank you everyone for the great information. gives me a few ideas on what to do now.

 

UM, this statement is wrong. I have a Magnaflow cat back exhaust system, ordered and installed at my dealership due to a backorder of the TRD system at the time of my truck purchase.

I really like my Magnaflow and am impressed with the sound. It burbles and pops and has a decent deep throaty growl for a V6. Granted, the supercharger helps with that but it is still a good exhaust choice.

 

Hmm, Thats new I Guess, but hey... Awesome. I like magnaflow, and if they make a CBE, more options for us Taco owners...

Enjoy

 

K&N makes air filters, not exhausts.

 

Thats why I said; that would be the only Exh I would trade out for. Pending my cash situation. I have a link to all the details. Top quality stuff with true effective research behind the design...

I am however, upgrading to an APR Y-pipe here shortly

 

id want mine to meow/purr

 

Just finished install of Flowmaster American Thunder CAT back system. Has Series 50 Delta Flow muffler. Quieter than I thought it would be, seems about the same as TRD Sport stock exhaust with a little more rumble at low end and during acceleration. I believe a series 40 would sound good. Kit required a little bending of clamping brackets to adjust for similar positions of tips, other than that easy install.

 

I'm diggin the hello kitty

Why do people post videos of their exhaust or sound system? Videos do no justice of the actual sound in person..

 

in my experience, the only time to ever buy a full exhaust system is if its going on a high output motor. you're probably better off going to a good muffler shop and having them fabricate one. i have a 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust kit on my car, but its because its turbocharged and needs all the flow it can get. i plan on taking the tacoma to a muffler shop and letting them take care of it for much less because its not going to make a big difference.
