    So, is the 40 series REALLY loud? Especially in the cab, driving down the road? Loud mufflers were awesome back in college, but I'm a little older now so I'm a little more practical these days... So, I was thinking about the 50 series. But is the 50 series really worth it? Is it that much different than stock?

    I've checked out YouTube and listened to a bunch of videos and the 40 series sounds great! But I can't get a feel for just how loud it is in the cab. I'm gonna be driving down to Texas for Christmas and a really loud muffler roaring for 24 hours on the highway is going to get annoying REALLY fast!

    (I know Will will chime in here.....) :)

    Just the nature of the V6 behind ANY custom exhaust will be annoying on any long trip you take. Where a V8 tone splits in two and harmonizes at freeway speeds, a V6 just has one tone that gets louder:eek:

    To think of it, you may have a good idea there-you want your drive to be a smooth comfortable one-especially during the holidays:) then come first of the year-modd it up:D

    I read around these parts that 2.5 in/out is the correct size...

    Guess Im lucky. but then again I have Headers. Soo, on a long drive cruizing on the freeway, I get to hear a deep rumble out of my Borla Cat Back.

    All depends on the set up. Take a Tacoma over a V8 anytime, unless someone handed me a Tundra. But, the Tacoma would still be my Favorite:cool:
