    Closest you'll get is Flowmaster 40.

    This is a V6 engine, don't expect a V8 sound.

    thanks. Does the muffler dictate the sound? will the exhaust and CIA alter the sound of the flowmaster 40?

    The baffle set up in the muffler will ditate sound. Flowmasters tend to be more tuned for sound then performance from what I've seen.
    The intake might make it a bit throatier, but it'll depend.

    thanks for your help. I am thinking about just having a exhaust kit installed rather than just a muffler now. I wanted to go with the trd but I think the sound I want is more of a flowmaster 40. would I be better off just having midas weld on a fm40 muffler or getting that american thunder kit installed?
    Does exhaust work put your warranty at risk? then when I get my next service I am going to have a trd cai installed. Thanks for the help I appreciate the help at this. I am a noobdelux:) but I am having fun

    real throaty sound....deep and rumbly, and it doesnt sound ricey at all. plus.....its alot cheaper than a catback.

    you will like it alot, but remember, a muffler aint gonna give ya much in the performance department...........mainly just for sound!! if it was a straight thru design, you would probably pick up some ponies, but the flowmaster is baffled, so it gives a deep rumbley tone.

    tacomaman thanks for the advice and sound bites.
