Installed the SXTH Element Off-Road Trail Pipe - photos

Yeah I’ve done minor mods to almost all my vehicles during the warranty period and never once has it even been brought up by a dealer.

 

What difference, if any, will this exhaust dump make if crossing water? I guess the good rule of thumb is ‘no deeper than the hubs’ in which case this makes no difference. Correct?

 

id say it’s slightly higher than before because before it was hanging dangerously low IMO…

 

I just snagged the OEM Trailhunter Off-Road Trail Pipe from Fred Anderson Toyota for $105 tax and shipping.

 

That’s not a bad deal at all. I stole mine at $79 shipped…

 

I think its more catching on large rocks or steep declines TRD Jon bent his pipe first time out with his last Tacoma

 

Something I will never do but I still got the tip as well. Them Starbucks speedbumps can be quite steep

 

Haha…

 

Well, I was parking near a small ditch (in reverse) and it almost bottomed out....so I am very glad I did it @ $79. Has a nice tone to it, as well...not even close to being loud and obnoxious...not to mention that OEM exhaust tip is horrible looking IMO...I'd guess the same guy who thought that was a good idea also designed the lower air dam and slapped it on a TRD OffRoad package truck...about as dumb as it gets.

 

So instead of buying a turn down tip for $100 +/-, why not cut the tailpipe right before the resonator? I want to get rid of that thing so bad but am worried about drone. I did an after market exhaust(3x's)on our 4th Gen 4 Runner and absolutely hated it. Ended up buys a stock take off on line and replaced the system. I'm old enough to NOT want loud and drone.

 

I think I paid like $70 for it (on sale) and there’s no drone to it whatsoever…

 

I did something like that. No drone.

I've had mine for probably 10k km tbh there's not much sound diffrence even removing one of the resonators. I have the sxth element intake as well and that makes for of a difference

 

Yeah def one of the most cost-effective mods I've done...that OEM tailpipe was HIDEOUS...

 

I think I’ll get the AME performance exhaust. It sounds good. If you get a good quality exhaust then you don’t have to worry about drones.

 

No thanks. I have never heard a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder with any aftermarket exhaust that sounds anywhere near good. LOL

 

Not too bad.

also the pro exhaust is not bad either.

my BMW X5 inline 6 has a nice exhaust sound too. Here is my video https://youtu.be/ABKuo685k2E?si=z_7KaruFL79E60Yw

 

This weekend I showed off my new truck to my father-in-law and he complimented my STOCK exhaust pipe...he said, "wow, looks good, is that exhaust aftermarket?"

Hhhhyeah no? Maybe the stock exhaust hanging way down below the rear bumper doesn't look that bad to non-car people? Anyways, I'm ordering the OEM trail pipe tonight.

Or maybe the stock exhaust looks so out of place he assumed it HAD to be aftermarket?

 

Just received the 6th element pipe. What is the gasket part # for this. Thanks

 

Pretty sure there is no gasket needed.
