Exhaust vs Cold Air Intake

Oh and can you take some pics of your smoke out tail light when you get 'em. I wanted to paint mine for the cost factor but I want to see what will look better.

 

here you go! i thought they'd be a little darker, but i still like em. painting them should look pretty good too! i just didn't want them to be too dark.

 

hey how about some headers?

 

IS that a dual exit exhaust or is that just the picture from autoanything? I'm interested if its dual exit like the pic. I purchased a magnaflow cat back from autoanything, I really like it dude. I also put a CAI on to, which helped out alot also. I raced a stock tundra the other day, got him off the line, but he pulled away! I would have expected more out of the V8 compared to the V6 though.

 

Nevermind dude, I just looked at your pick. I see the pipe out the driver's side. I wish I would have found that dual exhaust before i got the magnaflow catback! I do like mine though. How does yours sound dude? flowmaster right?

 

sounds great! i want to get a sound or video clip for you guys but not sure it will sound the same on the computer...

 

I installed this exhaust and I love it, you don't see many dual exhausts around. I got it from Summit Racing for $365, cheapest price I could find.

Why does it only work on the first gens?

 

b/c their stock air system is different than the 2nd gens... search for a pic of "deck plate mod" and you'll see what I mean.

 

Is a CAI the only 2nd gen solution for the deck plate mod?

 

no its not. you can do a pro dry s filter drop in with the removal of the secondary filter.

 

I have the same setup as westdog976. TRD CAI and Flowmaster exhaust.

 

looks good WW! I am getting that CAI as soon as I get back from afghanistan. was gonna get it before, but it would just sit there in my garage for four months.

 

That exhaust looks awesome. I'm thinking about doing it too. I know you were going to post something about how it sounds but I was just going to ask is it a deep sound like a v8 or is it kind of wimpy being a v6? I want that deep sound but not too loud. Any mpg increase?

 

Exhausttttt!

 

Get the CAI, improves gas mileage & has a nice sound..

 

I wanna hear the sound clip! Good choice on getting the exhaust. I picked up MPG with my cat back, then lost some when I added the CAI. I also lost some bottom end power with the CAI too.

 

Dyno'd or on the butt?

CAI and Cat-Back are both supposed to bump power.

 

Any in-cab resonance? I had a nasty 2500rpm drone in my old Explorer from a Flowmaster 50 series dual setup, drove me nuts. I would jump on these in a heartbeat if I knew for sure I wouldn't have that same problem in my Taco.

 

I now 'too much is not enough' but i don't feel like i need to upgrade my Taco.....at least for now.... i mean i won't had any situation where a need more power, i always have plenty, so why should i need more?
Other than power, may be sound or better MPG what can motivate me to do either an exhaust or intake mods, i think exahust should go first, i love the Flow Master sound.
I haven't see any real MPG's gains from ANY mod i have done to any car or truck that i have own, that can justify the mod cost, so my filosofy for MPG gains is to keep the mod money, and use it to buy gas...
