    I'll Get To that In A Moment. And Btw I Have NO Idea Why My Phone It's Capitalizing Every Word. First About What I Have.

    2006 Tacoma TRD Off Road 4.0
    OME 885's
    Toytec Rear AAL
    Eyelids
    Black Paint, Black Rims
    No Emblems
    Touch Screen DVD An Some Other Interior Mods Blah Blah Blah

    Anyways, I'm Looking For A LITTLE Bark To Go With The Bite. So I'm Going To Get A Different Muffler. What Would You Recommend For Something Deep, Not Raspy Or Too Loud.... Gentler At Low RPM's, And Cruising.... But Aggressive. I Know That's A Lot To Ask For.... But Any Help Would Be Appreciated!

    Whatever you go with, look into a vibrant resonator to kill the rasp as pretty much all the cat backs will make the truck raspy at high rpms

    The Magnaflow I just got is pretty quiet when cruising and loud when I get on it...no rasp at all. Part num is 12256...search it on youtube, its a popular muffler.

    I would love the TRD, since it's probably tuned specifically for the taco, but I'm assuming it's outrageously expensive, i'll have to look her up.... along with the magnaflow....thanks everyone for the suggestions!

    It's not too expensive; I think I paid around $300 for mine. And it's a simple bolt on :)

    Don't remember; very minimal at best! Definitely something you won't be able to notice. But can't go wrong with the sound, design, and quality!

    I generally do to but for some applications especially where someone doesn't wanna be brutally loud there's others that I will recommend... Wicked Flows is one of them

    I'd suggest the Aero Turbine 2525XL. It has a good deep tone when in lower RPM's, doesnt really drone at highway speeds. I sometimes forget I have one until I braaaap it to fly around people.

    That's what I have heard from thr aero, its not loud but puts a deeper tone into it unless you punch it. also I have read there's no drone on the freeways.

    I heard wicked flows muffler good sound. I remember reading a build thread where a guy put it on and like a week later put on a resonator(is that what it's called?) to make it quieter due to a drone...which could always be an option op.


    Ask tw members around with mufflers you can go hear them in person. That's would be the best bet. there is always you tube.
