DUAL EXAUST

I am taking Tacoma to muffler shop today, I saw where it was talked about running exaust out the back leaving spare tire where it is. I couldnt find post on how...any ideas, I would like to leave tire where it is.

 

It is possible, it's just a tight fit. I had dual exhaust on my previous Tacoma. I had to use zip ties to keep the brake lines from touching the exhaust pipe. I don't have a picture of the pipe routing, but here is how it exited:

 

thanks, Im hoping thay can run them out the back...for what they are charging they should be able to figure it out.

 

I know it all comes down to personal preference, but IMHO dual exhaust on the Tacoma is more hassle than it is worth. That is the main reason my current truck has the stock exhaust. The biggest problem I had (especially after the leaf spring TSB) was the additional hanger needed on the driver's side kept catching on the leaf springs if I did any moderate off-roading. Plus, after four years of messing with it, I could never keep the tips even and level. I ended up just dumping the exhaust right after the muffler.

 

I had my duals out the back on my 06. it IS possible. it goes right around the spare. no problems.

 

Flowmaster American Thunder 50 series Stainless Steel...It's a Cat Back System...I have it on my '05 DCLB and love it! doesn't touch the tire!

I installed mine in my driveway!

 

yeah mine was flowmaster 40 series cat back

 

well its done, out the back. magnaflow mufflers. spent most of the day at muffler shop.

 

where are the pics,and how does it sound?

 

Pics or it didn't happen!

 

What is the point of dual exhaust? Is it for sound enhancement or performance or both?

 

If it is a single in, dual out muffler then it is for sound only. A properly built true dual exhaust with an H (or X) pipe might increase performance as well, but you better have some serious engine mods to make it worth while.

 

I really should have not clicked on this thread. I love that sound

 

PICS to come, it is true dual, 2 pipes out the back, muffler guy cracked some of the chrome from tip and is ordering replacement. I was going for sound,looks and adding SUPERCHARGER in a couple weeks and thinking exaust may help it breath better...hell I dont know. Will post pics when he puts the other tip on.

 

It has an awsome low tone when idles. I didnt want it to loud, seems like some v6s sound like moped or single engine plane taking off. It sounds good when I crank down on it.

 

did a Sunday drive...sounds like crapp, talked to muffler shop today, says he can replace magnafows with stock sounding mufflers at no charge. better to hear nothing than to hear a moped following me around all the time

 

That is how that Flow Master set up sounded on the video too. Don't like it at all.

 

guess its hard to get a v8 sound from a v6

 

Kinda a bummer.... I'm not sure if it helps on a Taco, but in my Bimmer forums guys would add a resonator and a muffler to help with rasp... Like I said, not sure if that helps on a taco, but its an option. I'd hate to spend all that money and get pretty much nothing in return...
