New Exhaust = Rice :(

I just bought an MBRP dual side swept catty back and you could say it sounds like a ricer... looks sick though and i already had the connections welded so im kinda stuck with it... So talking to my auto professor he suggested a new pair of headers could deepen the sound and a K&N Air intake. Anyone got a similar setup? or suggestions would be helpfull too!

 

flow master duall out with the DTLT, it's the only wideo i have that you can hear the exhaust well

4cly + exhaust = rice....end of story

 

Ehh. Touchy subject. From what I've experienced and have also read here. Your not gonna get much more out of then what you have. I have not seen your exhaust personally, but having a TRD single on my V6, there are times it sounds a little "ricey" and times I get the deep below depending RPM.

Headers may help a little but a K&N is just going to mask it a bit with cabin noise. In all honesty it's an import V6 not a small block chevy. I think all of us would like that throaty sound. Sadly it is what it is...

Edit: OP, didn't realize your truck was a 4 banger.... Your pretty much effed for anything other then that rice sound IMO.

 

haha yea flowmasters are the way to go, i couldnt help but notice in nofords08 video he goes the same line each time and just puts the wheels in the same ruts lol

 

so i just went around town and i definately noticed it sounds way more ricey in the cab than it does on the outside... are you saying that a filter would tone it down inside? cuz from what im hearing from everyone its really not all fast and furious..its just a small engine haha.

 

headers would probably make it sound deeper

this one has magnaflow exhaust and dt headers i think it sounds pretty good for a 4cyl

I think it sounds damn nice for a 4 cyl!

 

That last vid sounds kinda like a Subie. I like it.
I'll try and get a vid of the 03 2.7L Tacoma that my GF and I have. Not sure what exhaust is on it because it was on when we bought it used, but I think it sounds damn good. Sounds quiet in the cab, but on the outside its pretty loud when the truck cruises by. Nice and deep sounding, no pop, drone, or ricey sound.

 

my setup is a magnaflow exhaust with doug thornley header and it sound awesome. you would swear it was a 6cyl. deep and throaty.

 

Good luck getting it there with a 4cyl. Headers and K&N will probably make it sound better but more than likely not exactly where you want it to be...sry, i did all that to my 6cyl and im pleased with it, but it will never be a v8

 

]I think the aero 2525 is the deepest one

 

I concur.

 

i have heard nothing but good things about the Dynomax Super Turbo Mufflers i think this is what i will eventually end up going with

 

Could have gone Jardine, like me

I love it. I made this video the first day. It's gotten deeper since then. I always get compliments on it.

 

this sounds good too, i never knew that was you haha, ive seen it on youtube a bunch of times

 

Haha, so you like it eh? I dont have headers but my magnaflow is pretty ricey.

 

^ haha I talked to Ricky about this over youtube also. didnt know he was on here! He convinced me to buy the jardine...doesnt sound as good on my truck as it does on his though and i am running dt header as well.

 

(OP)
Hey this is my new exhaust im posting about. Think i might've broken it in a little or gotten used to it...Just posting for ya'll's opinions!

 

Yup, that's me . Old video though lol

It doesn't? That's weird. I would guess cause of they header, but that's strange. I did take out the secondary air filter, not sure if it made any difference in the noise though.
