    lots of posts saying "get a magnaflow" as the best overall muffler here on TW....

    there seem to be several different part numbers on this.

    so which magnaflow muffler do you want for a 3.4L v6 AT Taco (2003)?

    not looking for loud & dont want highway drone, but dont mind a decent sound either.

    side note: its got a generic turbo muffler on it now thats rusting out & getting noisy.

    I replaced the muffler on the MBRP Turn Down System (#S5332AL) with a MagnaFlow Performance Muffler #12246, and it sounds absolutely fantastic. No drone, still throaty, and doesn't sound like it gets plugged up like many of the catback offerings.

    I run a Flowmaster Dbx. It's med-high with a bit of drone (mainly when accelerating) but little restriction

    ive got MBNA on 2 of our jeeps right now & they do drone a bit... thats why was gonna try the magnaflow this time on the taco.

    Borla always has great stuff, but im a poor boy & my taco has 235K on it.

    thank you very much for that part number!

    Are you going to run a full tailpipe all the way out past the rear wheel? Do you have two CATs?

    yeah its ran in the stock location & the pipe is good. .. the muffler is just a cheapy that is rotting out.

    there are no cats or anything. its a straight pipe from right behind the O2 sensor back to the muffler & then up/over the axle & out in stock location.
