Exhaust vs Cold Air Intake

Re8elmonk0341 · 01-15-2009, 11:37 AM

Oh and can you take some pics of your smoke out tail light when you get 'em. I wanted to paint mine for the cost factor but I want to see what will look better.

here you go! i thought they'd be a little darker, but i still like em. painting them should look pretty good too! i just didn't want them to be too dark.

hey how about some headers?

tacomadude1234 · 01-20-2009, 05:11 PM

IS that a dual exit exhaust or is that just the picture from autoanything? I'm interested if its dual exit like the pic. I purchased a magnaflow cat back from autoanything, I really like it dude. I also put a CAI on to, which helped out alot also. I raced a stock tundra the other day, got him off the line, but he pulled away! I would have expected more out of the V8 compared to the V6 though.

tacomadude1234 · 01-20-2009, 05:26 PM

Nevermind dude, I just looked at your pick. I see the pipe out the driver's side. I wish I would have found that dual exhaust before i got the magnaflow catback! I do like mine though. How does yours sound dude? flowmaster right?

Flowmaster - American Thunder Dual Side Exit System:

I installed this exhaust and I love it, you don't see many dual exhausts around. I got it from Summit Racing for $365, cheapest price I could find.

for the first gen. guys(and gals) though...............deckplate mod is definitely a great mod.

Why does it only work on the first gens?

Keason1* · 01-21-2009, 02:17 PM

b/c their stock air system is different than the 2nd gens... search for a pic of "deck plate mod" and you'll see what I mean.

Is a CAI the only 2nd gen solution for the deck plate mod?

beastlytaco · 03-01-2009, 08:02 PM

no its not. you can do a pro dry s filter drop in with the removal of the secondary filter.

WW_FIREFIGHTER · 03-07-2009, 12:52 PM

I have the same setup as westdog976. TRD CAI and Flowmaster exhaust.

Westdog976 · 03-07-2009, 07:39 PM

looks good WW! I am getting that CAI as soon as I get back from afghanistan. was gonna get it before, but it would just sit there in my garage for four months.

ryork · 04-14-2009, 01:59 PM

That exhaust looks awesome. I'm thinking about doing it too. I know you were going to post something about how it sounds but I was just going to ask is it a deep sound like a v8 or is it kind of wimpy being a v6? I want that deep sound but not too loud. Any mpg increase?

TacoGuy05 · 04-14-2009, 02:32 PM

Exhausttttt!

420Tacoma · 04-24-2009, 01:34 PM

Get the CAI, improves gas mileage & has a nice sound..

RelentlessTaco · 05-03-2009, 11:35 PM

I wanna hear the sound clip! Good choice on getting the exhaust. I picked up MPG with my cat back, then lost some when I added the CAI. I also lost some bottom end power with the CAI too.

Dyno'd or on the butt?

CAI and Cat-Back are both supposed to bump power.

MurphMan · 06-22-2009, 04:11 PM

Any in-cab resonance? I had a nasty 2500rpm drone in my old Explorer from a Flowmaster 50 series dual setup, drove me nuts. I would jump on these in a heartbeat if I knew for sure I wouldn't have that same problem in my Taco.

berso · 07-02-2009, 12:08 PM

I now 'too much is not enough' but i don't feel like i need to upgrade my Taco.....at least for now.... i mean i won't had any situation where a need more power, i always have plenty, so why should i need more?
Other than power, may be sound or better MPG what can motivate me to do either an exhaust or intake mods, i think exahust should go first, i love the Flow Master sound.
I haven't see any real MPG's gains from ANY mod i have done to any car or truck that i have own, that can justify the mod cost, so my filosofy for MPG gains is to keep the mod money, and use it to buy gas...
