Who still has stock muffler? what did you change it to? is it V6 V8

Not a ricer just wondering who kept the stock muffler and if not what did you change it to? are you happy with the sound?

 

the TRD and Magnaflow seem to be top choices..don't get flowmaster!!

 

Don't mean to thread jack here but what about a Bullet muffler on our gen1s?

 

Would you recommend dual exhaust for a Magnaflow?

 

personally, i wouldn't go with the duels. single is plenty fine...but that's just me.

 

do you think you'll hear a difference on a V6?

 

i'm not too sure, only because i've never actually heard any on a v6. i made that mistake thinking i could base my preference on youtube videos..i was wrong! i have a 4 banger and thought that by hearing the vids it would give me an idea of what i wanted, so i went with flowmaster super44 and i was really disappointed. my best advice is to find somebody with a muffler you're interested in and hear it in person. anything would sound better on a v6 for sure though. don't rush, find the right muffler...hope i helped

 

oh and i only had the muffler on for a month before i went back to stock...wasted my money

 

Thank You!! really appreciated!

 

welcome

 

I have a flowmaster muffler on my '09 (v6) and it's great. I haven't noticed any loss of power like some people say could happen. It makes a nice sound that isn't too much. If you are looking for your truck to sound different and don't really care about getting a whole exhaust system, buy just a muffler of whatever brand seems best for you. It will sound good and be a lot cheaper than buying a whole new system.

 

I have a magnaflow with duel pipes out the back bumper... I love the sound I couldn't be happier, it's meaner sounding when you get on it and it's mellow enough while at cruising speed. My wife says it's just a tad to loud for her taste but she's learning to live with it.

 

I have a single magnaflow stainless. I'm very happy. Nice quite growl at idle and low end. Then when u reach above 3k on the road it really opens up louder and nice.

 

Oh and welcome to tw

 

Thanks ill definitely look into the magnaflow, was it a fairly easy installation? did you have to add anything to the actual tail pipe? what kind of exhaust tip are you using?

 

I do.

I cut it off right after the axle.

 

Its the tip is a polish stainless tip that is already welded on the end. I should mention its not just a muffler its a full cat back exhaust. Install was easy. The most annoying part was the nuts for the o2 sensor were seized but easy fix with Toyotas design. Just get a wiz wheel and cut off the nut and stud. The new exhaust already comes with new studs and nuts. Its a good investment

 

There's a bunch of flowmaster haters on this site. I have a flowmaster 40, and have heard a bunch of different mufflers. If you don't want a ricey sound, go flowmaster

 

Aero turbine!

 

I have no dog in the fight but I've heard two Magna Flow 14s, one on the 3.4 and one on a 2.7... and it sounded deep and throaty. Not ricer at all.
