TRD Cat Back Exhaust - Can it be silenced?

Blast away all you loud exhaust lovers. NBD, I can take it. I have put the loudest pipes on the planet on my Harley's and would do it again for many reasons including performance and that fact that loud pipes saves lives... zero debate.

BUT, my TRD Pro came with a TRD cat back and while the sound isn't even 100 miles close to Vance and Hines big shot duals or some Pythons its louder than I ever thought I'd need or want.

So.... question can quiet baffles or some other contraption reduce the TRD cat back noise?

Before you all go all loud-ass on me, I'm 50% deaf in one ear and cant hear the door bell, so quiet in the cab so I can hear some Rolling Stones is a priority - and THATS why I'm asking.

Other than swapping out the TRD exhaust are there any alternatives?

 

maybe adding a small secondary muffler inline

 

cut the tipoff, I heard some guy on here did it, and it made it quieter....

 

Ouch!

 

Maybe I should be in the Audio section of this forum asking how to make my speakaaahhs loudaaahh? All suggestions aahhh welcome.

 

cant help ya there....

 

I have the standard exhaust the came on my truck, pulled it off after about 7000 miles and been setting in my garage. wanna swap???? I can pay shipping.

 

OP this probably your best bet. Lots of people on here would want a TRD exhaust and give you their stock. I actually had the TRD exhaust put on my 2014 at the dealership, but kept my stock one. Still trying to find it a good home. But somebody close to your region would probably trade.

 

Just wondering what the dealership charged you...

 

Add sound deadening material throughout the cab.

 

Dealership didn't charge me... came stock on the truck from the factory (in TX i think?)

My original question was can it be quieted. Other than cut the tip off... any reasonable suggestions?

 

Good suggestion!

 

loud Harleys suck,all noise no power..i ride a motorcycle also but loud Harleys are slow an over priced underpowered.

 

The throatiness of the TRD also comes from the muffler and piping. Just cutting the tip off won't make much of a difference.

 

some guy on here did it and said it made it quieter....

 

I'm not interested in your opinion of Harleys or Pipes. If you have nothing to contribute to this thread stay the fuck out of it.

 

Try running it for a couple hundo miles. Mine took a while to tone out and quite down a little.

 

I have read that here... thanks, It will probably take me a few K to figure out a solution anyways. By then I might be deafer anyways

 

Well said.

 

BTW I wasn't kidding about a secondary muffler..... Its how we get the rasp down when we get to 3" pipes and no cats
