The SR thread, let's see them!

"TEQ" vinyl bed decals installed.

 

Got out on the Blue Ridge Parkway with my son after almost 2 months of ownership and outfitting.

 

Nice looking truck, what tint did you go with?

 

Thanks!
Rear doors/rear window-Factory tint
Front doors-35%
Windshield-55%

It took a bit for me to commit to the windshield but I’m glad I did. It helps a ton with glare.

Mods:
Glovebox tray
Interior liner kit
Toyota bed mat
Zprecision cup holders
RC LED Retract steps ( I know there are rough country haters on TW but these are great)
Bed light kit
Lomax Stance Tonneau Cover (highly recommend)
Icon Alloys alpha wheels (bronze) 17x8.5
265/70/17 Wildpeaks
2” Front strut spacer
1” rear Eiabach spacer

 

I cut the MF tip off my catback if you want the look w/out the sound… hmu $60 +shipping..
the system sounds good, not sure if it actually improved anything, but big bonus in the really cool and makes me smile category.. maybe drove 5 miles with MF tip on system.

 

It would be so much better if a certain person was reading this...

 

AND the resonator and muffler are made from the fancy non magnetic t409 SS

 

How much was the exhaust setup?

Did it do anything to improve emmm peee geees

 

Magnaflow 19275 | Toyota Tacoma | 2.7L | Crew Cab-60.5 inch Bed, Ext. Cab-73.7 inch Bed | Stainles Cat-Back | Performance Exhaust System (hottexhaust.com)

Thats where I ordered mine from, with discounts..

I cant speak for MPG improvement. But this exhaust system, in combination with a cold air intake, and throttle controller, all helped to regain some of the power and tOrque back that i lost when doing lift, armor, and tires.. As I said, next I will add the LCE header to my system which I think will be nice..

 

$496 free shipping couldn’t pass on it because I like me a shiny muffler. Resonator is polished too.
This was a year ago though.
I haven’t driven it enough to notice mpg change, only put 800 miles on it last year. Did average 27.6 on a 300 mile trip, as the TANK average. So maybe? However, I drive as fast as a turtle walks because it’s a 2.7.

 

Bruh, thank you. Just ordered one. $502 shipped.

 

Replaced with something I like better..

 

If your truck isn’t lifted, put about 4 inches of wood underneath each tire or ramps, and you can remove the stock exhaust, with some maneuvering, without cutting it. If you have a lift, even better!

 

My son has a v6 SR SX.... He grabbed a black chrome borla exhaust for $800 or so. We were able to get it off without even using ramps. Easy job.... Especially when everything is fairly new and not rusty....

 

Exactly! I live in the rust belt so I got on it. Lifting it just gives you a little more ground clearance for “wiggling”..
How does the Borla sound?

 

It is not that much different than stock deeper and has a low growwwwwwllll... I haven't honestly driven it personally, so I have no clue how it sounds inside the cab... And since he has a v6, Id assume it sounds a bit different than the i4.

I had a borla on my 95 eclipse BITD, I was expecting a deeper throatier sound like my car had.... Although that exhaust was obnoxiously loud. I'd say it sounds good, but I wouldn't want to get one unless it gained me1 or 2 more MPG... I painted my stock exhaust black and I'm past the age of caring about the deep tone, but I wouldn't mind a lil more pep and a couple more mpgs

 

I'm past the age of caring about the sound of my exhaust, but I wouldn't mind a lil more pep and a couple more mpgs.

 

Installed the AFE Rock Basher on my 2023 2.7l! Loving the tone, really wakes up above 2500rpms. Not sure where all the hate comes from, it sounds deeper and has a little more rasp to it, definitely not 'ricey' (I should know, drove a wrx for 4 years). I'm aware It's not a v6 or a v8, it's a 4 banger. To each their own, but I like the AFE rock basher on my little 2.7l
