    I thought my Tundra sounded pretty good, but that is the first time I ever had a V8, so maybe it was just "good to me".

    Really nothing you can do to make this truck sound "awesome" outside of turbo or supercharger or engine swap. I drove around for a day without muffler and while it sounds good under 1,500rpm... anything more just sounds tinny and like a bunch of bees in a can.

    I disconnected the muffler of mine for a day or two for the hell of it. It sounded good to me but it was also really loud and I lost A LOT of power, the truck felt a hell of a lot slower.

    TRD pro exhaust is legal and sounds a little better. It is still a V6 though...

    I had a muffler delete on my 11 f150 5.0, kept the converters, resonator, and tail pipe. Kept the perfect back pressure and sounded badass being the 5.0. But on a v6 4.0 taco...I'd roll with flowmasters or even a glasspack in place of the muffler. Keep the converters
