    What's a good sounding exhaust for my 97 tacoma 3.4? Something loud but not too loud

    Borla is perfect for the yota imo. Not too loud and super clean sounding. I've got a custom setup with a pro xs and a resonator. Shoulda skipped the resonator because it's too quiet and Probly woulda been perfect without.

    Not even close to a rice rocket sound. But thats on the I4 motor. it does wake up when I put the gas pedal down and has a nice sound though. But its quiet enough not to be annoying.
    As far as idle goes..the fm 40 doesnt change the tone by much. Ofcourse....that sound is going to be different across the board on the v6. But there are quite a few here that used to run the 40 back when it was popular. Im sure some still do

    I got a magnaflow turned before the axle just like Boosted Trd I noticed it sounds louder because the sound bounces off the ground and I also got the trd supercharger and trd headers the help with that

    My gf has a 02 4runner with the 3.4 and has a flowmaster super 40. Sounds good at normal driving speeds (sounds deep) but when you floor it thats a whole different story.

    Thats what i found when i was running the 40. Sounded good below 3k rpms. After that it quickly gets bad. The fm 44 seems to sound good for more of the rpm.
