What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Forgive my ignorance, but is there any benefit to the TRD exhaust over the standard OEM exhaust, or is it simply for looks? With that said it does look good. Just curious though.

edit: So I decided to just google it and found this.
“Engineered for a less restrictive path, to help reduce backpressure for added low- to midrange torque, along with improved horsepower • Produces a deep, throaty, award-winning exhaust note while meeting the legal 95-decibel noise limit, as required by law”
I can see the sound difference, but the torque and horsepower gains seem a bit hard to believe for me.
For almost $800... I will have needed to exhaust (pun intended) all other mod options or be in the market for a replacement before spending that much.
Looks very cool though.

 

Great minds think alike.

 

I think they are Cali Raised but not certain. Got them second hand.

 

i reused my gasket as i only have a little over 2500 miles on it. parts manager where i bought it from said only need to replace if you have a lot more miles on it, not sure how many that would be...

 

Put some new wheels on.

 

there is always a huge debate on whether the trd exhaust is worth doing or whatever, same with the trd cai. i personally had one on my 07 tacoma for 13 years and really liked it, so when i bought my 20 tacoma it had to have one too. as far as differences, they sound better than oem and supposedly give you a few more hp, not sure about that and don't really care either. i do like the looks of it better too.

so to sum up, for me it was for the sound and the looks...

 

Found a new fishin hole ! Lebanon Reservoir, Safford AZ

 

Wow. What a view.

 

I was curious too, so did some googling and found this... Not currently available, and may not be what he was referring to...

Yeah, I've seen those on Amazon before. Wasn't sure if that was them or not. They've been unavailable forever.

 

I drove the kids around for their Pokemon Go game.

Saw a minivan with raptor lights so I unplugged mine. This is after seeing countless other cars with them.

Could also be used for some sort of mounting point, maybe.

 

Thanks that answers that question. I appreciate it as always you guys know your stuff.

 

From meso or somewhere else?

 

And damn do they sell out quickly!!

I will be keeping my eyes peeled for them. Looks like a great product to keep things organized.

 

I wonder how many wives (and husbands) have had to suffer through us taking photos of our trucks - mine included.

 

Needs 33's.

 

I love mine. Huge sound difference. Also looks great. I highly recommend it.
