Straight pipe

hey guys, i was thinking about getting a straight pipe made for my v6 2010 tacoma. i was planning on having it be cut before the rear axle. but i wanted to ask you guys if you think i should go with a little bit bigger piping?

 

if you run a straight pipe and go with a bigger exhaust diameter your going to loose some torque, i wouldn't go larger cause when you loose torque you will also lose mpg.

 

i went straight pipe for a while when i had my v4 taco. sounded like a dying STI. couldnt even hold a convo in the cab.

v6 magnaflow satisfys me plenty. but i havent heard a straight pipe v6 taco yet.

 

if i went with a little bit of a smaller piping do you think i would gain a little more torque? i was thinking about maybe just staying with the same size diameter. (what is the stock diameter? lol)
sound isnt really too much of an issue i dont think. i run a straight pipe on my wrx.
would it be too loud for others when out on the trail?

if thats the sounds ur going for go for it. i just think its not worth it unless u have the v8.

but it sounds beastly idoling.

 

yea that setup sounds like poop.

i have all straight pipe with the exception of my TRD catback and it sounds awesome IMO.

 

agreed.

i just wish the taco had a v8. if this truck had the sound of a v8 and power. godly..

 

honestly a straight pipe is lound as hell and not that clean sounding, if you want a exhaust that is still loud and clean sounding get flowmaster 10 series. my friend has it on his 4.0 ranger and sounds like a v8. its only 4" long

 

im sorry i forgot to add that i was only going to do a straight pipe catback. im not a big fan of the raspiness on that red tacoma. lol
TRDGuy, your truck sounds mean as hell. i like it. lol

 

this one

 

thanks dude

 

After the cat i went with 3" pipe all the way back and im running straight pipes no mufflers . I have the 3.4 v6 and personally I like the way it sounds pretty darn good

 

IMO my system has a pretty deep tone compared to other 4.0 Tacomas i've met in person. Quiet at idle but a beast a WOT. That red Tacoma sounds likes a pissed off Corolla.

 

STRAIGHT PIPE! never even did that when i was young.always had a muffler.i would think that would throw the check engine light.not enough back pressure.hmmmm.good luck to ya.

 

haha, he said "oooh, SNAP!"

hahahahahahahahaahahahahazhahahahahahahahahah

 

I suggest an exhaust cutout. You can make all the noise you want when you open her up or have the quiet stock exhaust when you're on the highway or somehting.

I have the raceready performance and the switch fits perfectly in one of the empty slots to the left of the steering wheel.

Here's a pic and video of mine. In person it sounds so much deeper though. I used my laptop to record it that's why it sounds kinda weak.
