Will new exhaust drown out "Tacoma tick"

I'm sick of my truck sounding like it has an exhaust leak under acceleration. Will an aftermarket exhaust drownd this out, or would it just be a waste of money?

 

Do you want to put up with a ricey V6 sound or taco tick? For me, I'll keep the taco tick

 

No, but I wouldn't say aftermarket exhaust is a waste of money. At least not any more so than some mods

 

A loud stereo system would do the trick.

 

^^^^ this would be the way to go.

 

I cured mine with a supercharger. No more tick, now I just have boost wine.

 

^^^^^ also this.

 

Makes all the young kids too.

 

The TRD exhaust has a not overly loud, 50 state legal low burble- rumble. Wakes up 2500-35-- rpm under acceleration.

 

Just installed a TRD exhaust on my truck, haven't really got to floor it yet because of the weather, but i find it's got a burble from 1200-1800rpm cruising, then quiets down on the highway (2000rpm cruising). still getting used to it.

 

Suggest using synthetic motor oil 5-30w, sound absorbing mat underneath the hood and higher octane might help. Some of the other sites have mentioned that the Vacuum Switching Valve seems to make the most noise. In which they installed rubber washers from a hardware store, to help elemate the noise it made. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ticking-engine-one-fix.43632/ http://www.summitracing.com/parts/the-14100?seid=srese1&gclid=CP3kqf_kzsoCFYcWHwod4X0Flw

 

Mine has been on 1.5 years now. Started out louder/raspy, then settled in. mine is quieter on hwy as well. At its loudest when passing/accelerating 2500-3500 rpm's or so. No rice burner sound! Awesome!

 

My 05 was loud too. But I could only hear it stopped.
