intake and exhaust combos

Hi guys! Im a newbee here.

I have a tacoma doublecab 4x4 trd offroad, this is my 4th tacoma. The only mod i did on the past trucks is just a drop in K&N filter.

Before i did my mods on my latest truck, i just read all your treads in the forum, they're a lot of help. The first thing i did was a drop in K&N and a magnaflow muffler, I didn't like the loss of torque. then, I put a K&N cold air intake, i felt it was choking when i suddenly step on the gas.

So i resorted to changing the muffler(I didnt go with full catback coz' a lot of you guys say that it was almost similar size pipe as stock) i went with Borla. Now with Borla and K&N CAI combo, still have that loss of torque, so i went back to stock intake. It got better but still less torquey.

Finally went with aFe CAI and Borla combo, as of now I"m happy, I think i got my torque back and still have that growl when I step on the gas.

Thanks guys, i relied on your posts as my guide.
