What kind of exhaust do I have?

(Not really sure where to post this at)

I bought my '06 Pre Runner Double Cab Tacoma about a year ago from a dealership, it is used.

It came with dual exhaust (I'm assuming its aftermarket), I'm curious if anyone knows where I would look on the exhaust to see who the manufacturer is. Is there a place on the exhaust where most companies stamp them with their logo?

 

Usually the muffler itself should have the name on it.

 

Most brands usually have their name on the actual muffler it's self

 

Thanks for the replies!

That was quick, didnt even take a minute for 2 replies!

 

Is it usually on the top or bottom of the muffler?

I just went outside and checked and all I could see is a something that said "inlet" and a part number stamped onto it.

 

That's what I absolutely love about this site!

 

Type that part number into google and that should give you something.

 

530552. Looks like I have Flowmaster Nice surprise!

 

Nice!! Do you get any cabin drone on the freeway?

 

I'm not 100% sure what cabin drone is (I got mixed answers while I was googling it).

But here is what I can tell you, I can definitely hear the exhaust while I am driving (typically only at high rpm's). Although, I think I have gotten use to the sound and don't even hear it anymore. When I was test driving the Tacoma I complained to the salesman about the exhaust, in a attempt to gain a little leverage when it came to negotiating (secretly I loved the way it sounded).

All of my friends that ride in it for the first time ask me if I have aftermarket exhaust. My girlfriend always says she could hear my truck from inside her house as I am pulling up.

 

Oh okay yeah it's just like a real high pitched sound at higher speeds that iv'e heard a lot of FLowmaster owners complain about which is why I went with Magnaflow.
You should make a video of the sound

 

I tried making a video but the sound quality was horrible.

I don't notice any high pitched noises at all.

 

Oh damn I was looking forward to that aaha.
Well I guess that's a good thing. I'm just wondering if it has a resonator on it.

 

Drone usually means at certain speeds you may have like a deep humming type noise. Usually freeway speeds. It happens a lot when you turn your exhaust down before your rear axle. Since you have pipes that run out back it is less likely to have a drone.

 

There we go^
I learn something new everyday

 

Based on whats said in the post above, I'd say I have no drone.
