Muffler and Tail Pipe Estimate

Reading through the 4cyl sound clip threads someone said straight pipes it sounded like a Honda Civic in a pile of fresh cow shit

 

Headers and exhaust?

 

I special ordered a Spintech Stainless Steel 6000 Series muffler ($169 + Freight?). Then had it installed for $100 flat at a local shop. Did not do a custom tip though. Just muffler swap and weld in.

 

That's how most 4 cylinder exhaust sound clips sound.

Even the Tacoma..

If it helps ease the sting, so do all the V6 Tacoma exhaust clips.

 

Now that my muffler is broken in I think my Spintech sounds fairly decent now. Start-up, Idle, and interior rumble anyhow. No idea what it sounds like from outside the cab while under load. lol

 

I really like the sound of the 4 banger. Sounds like it has a uel and isnt too ricey (as far as 4 bangers go)

Edit: second gens have this sound not first gens. I forgot how they sounded.

 

Is it a ricey tone or is it deeper and throaty?

 

Spintechs dont have a break in period...

 

don't let sound/video clips fool you. sounds decent online, but in person, not so much. my 2.7 with flowmaster super44 is ricey and rusting out. i wish i left it stock .

It sounds deeper than it used to though....

I've got a video clip on my build page from right after install. Captured with a cell phone so take it with grain of salt.

 

Doesnt have packing. Uses the twirling chambered design. Should sound the same from install until it rusts out (which is an advantage imo)

 

True enough. Maybe it's the cold weather that makes it seem to sound deeper perhaps? Start-up rumble seems deeper. Been meaning to get a video clip to compare with my originals to see if I'm imagining things. LOL

 

Do you have a 4 cylinder?

 

Nope I'm a V6 4.0L.

 

Are the flow masters really shitty? Even if I buy a stainless steel one.

 

i live on a small island and i'm always at the beach so that probably plays a big part on it rusting out so fast. i'd skip the flowmaster if i were you.

this might help.
