Straight pipe v6 ???????s

Hi I was wondering how my v6 01 Tacoma would sound if I took the muffler off ns put a piece of pipe it's place? Would it sound like shit or would it sound pretty nice thanks for any info.

 

youtube. its not exactly my taste. it sounds ok below 1800 rpms the gets pretty raspy and backfiery after that. instead of just a pipe i would find a glass pack personally that was close to that length and put it there in place, cut down on some annoyance and if u ever go on a long road trip you'll be glad you did.

 

I drive it straight piped for a day until I got my muffler welded on....... It sounded like a POS ricer piece of shit... IMO, and you lose all low end torque

 

First Gen v6 sound alright straight piped my buddy did it but its a cop magnet my opinion. Op if you wana loud agresive sound go with a flow masters super 10 series just do a muffler swap

 

it really depends whether you have a standerd or automatic. if its an auto, dont even bother, but if u got a standerd then it can sound good.

 

Isn't Hawaii pretty strict on exhaust?

 

Sounds like garbage from what I've seen on YouTube. IMO old V8's and straight 6's are the only thing that sound good unmuffled.

 

Yea Hawaiian is strict but there's a lot of ways around I got a manual trans I had flow master super 10 muffler on my 91 Toyota 2.4 l 5 speed truck ns it wasn't loud enough for me even with the cat off! So idk...

 

When I was doing my exhaust, I had no pipe for a day. It was raspy as hell, my Super 10 is much deeper.

 

Well on my 2nd Gen, i'm running no muffler haha. some people really dont like the idea..but i like the sound of it...and even the guy at the muffler shop was like, damn that sounds nice and clean, he could have been saying that just to make me happy, but i was happy either way haha. I think it's perfect, sounds super deep at low rpms, and then when i lay on it's wayyy to loud haha. Also, you can try it if you can get a muffler shop to cut the muffler off and weld in a pipe for cheap, if thats to loud, put a glass pack in..if thats still to loud go with a magnaflow. Then again i'm a obnoxious 19 year old right?

 

The only problem you might have is if you want to put a muffler back on, your exhaust pressure will be different. My friend did this with his Cummins, and blew his head gasket, but that still didn't stop him from cutting his new system off. Haha

 

i guess i forgot to mention "obnoxious non educated 19 year old" haha.

Guess i'm not putting a muffler back on haha. Until the cops catch me. If i do i pray to god i dont blow a head gasket lol.

 

Dude, that cummins must of been ridiculous straight piped....hahah.

 

Not really.

A lot of my friends straight-piped their Duramaxes. The turbo is a very effective muffler.


Of course, you're then listening to unmuffled TURBO!

 

Yea straight piped diesels aren't necessarily crazy loud as far as the exhaust note but the turbo sounds awesome.

As far as the Taco, not my thing. I've heard few vehicles straight piped I liked. Then again I personally don't think the 4.0 has a great exhaust note regardless of setup.

 

I'm just gonna put this here.....

 

lol...Thanks.

 

ive had mine with no muffler for a week, trying to decide on what muffler to get. it sounds nice to me under 2500 rpm and above that its just raspy

 

I straight piped mine for a while and all I can say is wow haha super loud but really mean sounding right now I have a glass pack and it sounds good

 

Sorry, it's still A V6...
