    2013 Tacoma TRD Sport
    Hey guys just joined the site after buying a 2013 Tacoma Sport this past Tuesday. I'm not all that knowledgable on truck mods as I am a big mustang guy. I had a Whippled 2003 10th Anniversary SVT Cobra that got totaled last year, and decided before getting another one that I would buy a reliable daily driver that would last me a long time. Just looking to do a few things to the truck such as wheels/tires, step rails, maybe a lift at some point, and not really sure what aftermarket exhaust sounds like on these trucks? Just looking for some good mods to set it apart, but not looking to get crazy with it. Here's a pic of the truck and also my old Cobra lol

    Isn't the TRD exhaust basically a BORLA? I thought I read somewhere that it was actually manufacturered by them.

    Would it be stamped on it somewhere? I just went and looked, but didn't see anything that really stood out...plus, its like 95 degrees and about to rain so I wasn't under there for long.

    A cheap, but not necessarily easy, mod would be the Black Head Light Mod, or BHLM. It takes titanic sized nuts to pop the cherry on new headlights tho. Most visible mod, but also very sublime.

    Dang that Borla muffler sounds great! Probably the best sound I've ever heard from a v6 for sure. I think I will end up going with that. Do you guys like the tubular step rails or the 4 step smittybilt style?
