    A dump before rear axle, a high flow cat, and a muffler would sound pretty awesome!

    I know loud doesn't mean faster watched a dyno run by removing cats you lose about 3-5hp but I like that tone you get I'll probably do custom cat back so I don't get check engine light was under the truck today and I hate that there piping isn't mandrel bent tubing and they smashed half the pipe that goes under the transfer case I gotta reroute that left pipe for the skid plate I want anyways I'll go get some prices see what my options are

    big difference between a 5.7 LS1 and a DOHC 3.5 v6 when it comes to sound. I run kooks 1 7/8" headers, 3" collectors, no cats, and full corsa exhaust on my G8. But I want the tacoma to be as silent as possible

    Jet hot the whole exhaust and replace the muffler. That's all you need to do. The jet hot will flow much better for u

    Got a price on my exhaust system gonna do from cats back and I mean right behind the cats figured I'd do the exhaust reroute for the driver side for the skid plate to clear the exhaust guy was laughing when he saw what they did for the driver side pipe and how bad they smashed it to clear the transfer case he said in 32 years of doing exhausts that's the stupidest thing he has ever seen so he's gonna do mandrel bends on the system with a nice collector to a single 3" with magnaflow race series muffler and a turn down before rear axle and tuck the system up close and as safe as possible so it won't be smashed during off-roading for $350.00

    That could be awhile if they make one but if they do I'll just have them connect the exhaust to my custom system cuz I won't change anything from the cats back and I'd like to get that tailpipe out of there I've already smacked that thing a time or two offroading this truck sees a lot of dirt and I wanna tuck it up before the Tacoma Moab trip in June

    Still gotta reroute that driver side pipe for the skid plate clearance but magnaflow does have a connector back kit but with a quiet street muffler I want it pretty aggressive sounding exhaust
