Muffler Swap

Looking to replace the OEM muffler on my 02 Tacoma 3.4L for something that's nice and deep/loud sounding muffler. I've heard alot of good things about Thrush so here I am trying to decide what in the world is the difference in all of these. Other advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!

 

Honestly, people will debate all day which one sounds the best. That's why we have options in the first place. I suggest finding a muffler shop that will let you test out various exhausts to see which one you like. It's honestly personal preference.

 

How do they do that

 

Every shop is different, but I'd imagine they would cut your OEM one off and clamp the other one on. This way you could see if you liked it before welding it on.

 

I'd have to go and buy it first though yeah?

 

Sound is personal preference so you choose what you want. Personally im a flowmaster 44 fan. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/official-3-4-exhaust-thread.393138/


The thrush welded have same internal design as a flowmaster 40 btw.

 

i like the turbo muffler

 

Like I said, some shops will let you test various mufflers they have in house or you can bring your own.

 

they will just slip muffles on and off the exhaust for you at the time of install. This ofcourse means you have to buy the muffler at that same shop for their price.

 

go to youtube you can pretty much get a close ideal to how they each will sound

 

I run no muffler with cats and it's a nice growl and it's not too loud unless you really get on it. Very usable for daily driving. I love it. Plus it's the cheapest lol

 

I like magnaflow, my girlfriend likes flowmaster 44. Everyone is different. Thrush sound the same as flowmaster tho for alot less $

 

That's what I hear. What size inlet/outlet do I buy ?

 

2 1/4" center inlet offset outlet

 

They have a 2.25, 2.50, and 3.0 on Amazon

 

2.25 is 2 1/4

 

You're right lol.. whoops

 

I had a flowmaster 44 on my second gen at first which i did not like at all... Switched to a thrush and I actually like it, could be a notch louder. Like said everyone will have a different opinion.

 

I'll throw my .02 in too..
Borla pro xs here. Love it.

 

I like my Flowmaster 40 Series Delta Flow, that's not saying it's for everyone but it's nice... here's a clip of it on my 4cyl...

This is my truck cold started to warmed up, i edited it to make it shorter...
