URD Spec-U Exhaust, 2016+ Tacoma V6 AC/LB, DC/SB

OK... bit the bullet... just ordered it... never spent this much on an exhaust... hell i paid $300 more for my 5vz S/C kit... hope it's worth it!

 

Only thing is do you have an Air Care there in Ontario? I know my cousin was telling me about it before. Removes 2 rear cats is all.

 

Yea... it's called "Drive Clean" here... Tests only happen on vehicles over 7 years old... i'll keep the stock exhaust in storage until needed.

 

Gotcha they scrapped our Air Care here. Was a pointless thing anyway. They were losing money every year... go figure.

 

Know how you feel. Most I have ever paid for an exhaust system. If you look at the stock system its pretty corked up and the cross over pipe is pinched.

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C111Y9e0T5h_qtiJMecz5kT-mMKbra9r/view?usp=drivesdk here's a video of spec u, AFE intake, and OVTune at about 2/3 throttle accelerating to 5k. Also when I get on the first short straight section that's full throttle in 4th gear aka the most drone possible, and it's still not even that noticable just a nice rumble

 

i'm curious how it is at ~75 under moderate load in 6th. Like, can you still hold a conversation or is it just too loud?

 

Definitely can still hold a conversation, you might have to raise your voice a little passing or going up hills but its not bad

 

The worst for me is around 2200-2300 rpm at high load, very noticeable drone there. Otherwise it sounds really good. We drove from Lincoln NE to Salt Lake UT recently and I had to point out to my wife where the sound was in the rpms and load for her to notice it. I did add a vibrant performance resonator ahead of the muffler, it took some off the raspy sound out of it. I’d like to add a helmholtz resonator pipe someday to kill the remaining drone.

 

Oh i watched it 5 times before i clicked checkout...

 

Lol I know how you feel. I've watched it a few times and it's my own truck and I daily it! Lol Gadget nailed it with the spec u for sure

 

I also watched it a few times before clicking buy. It got delivered today and will be installing it this Friday. Will post a video winding it out to redline on the weekend. Probably the most expensive exhaust system I have ever bought - sure hope its worth it

 

We would also like to hear about your install and if any of the issues mentioned early in this thread still are experienced.

 

So I pulled the trigger on this exhaust when they were on sale and I was totally stoked about it. Received it today and the Y pipe is not even close to connecting to the pipes from the coming from the cats. I am posting this just so anyone who does purchase this does a fit test prior to pulling off their entire old exhaust. I made this mistake and spent 2 hours accomplishing nothing besides pulling off my old exhaust and putting it back on. Hopefully Gadget can get this squared away soon, or I will just have my guy at the muffler shop see if he can bend the pipe. It is a bummer to pay 880.00 for a premium exhaust and have this issue.

 

Eeek... it should look like this:

 

I am not sure how that happens, lol. I have always been impressed with URD products but this one def upset me. To top it off when I put my stock exhaust back on I forgot a baffle so it sounds like a pig right now haha.

 

SMH...URD is still having exhaust fittment issues?! I know members didn't have exhaust hangers and some did.

Others who bought the URD Ypipe had figment issues or was shipped the wrong ypipe. I had to slightly modify to make mine fit and also didn't receive any exhaust clamps, but I called them and they sent me some free of charge, but still I find it odd seeing the trend this past year.

Good luck OP!

 

As the OP I had the issue with the O2 sensor bung on the right bank and was missing the right side hanger. URD shipped a new corrected right side pipe and I have not had an issue after that. I love the sound of the system and think it is tucked up nice when installed. Just sad to see the fitment issues still going on.

 

Gadget already got back to me and said he will get me the right pipes sent out ASAP. Great customer service, just a bummer to have to deal with fitment issues on a premium exhaust, especially when it has already been addressed. Can't wait to get it on and hear it in person!

 

Oh boy, now I worried. Just got mine delivered guess i will pull it out and check it all before install day this friday
