TRD CATBACK EXHAUST

Is anyone interested in getting the TRD Exhaust for their Tacoma?

PTR03-35161X

I have seen prices for about 619-700 before shipping. I am such a noob but I have no idea what benefits this would do, besides the noise in the cab. I have seen some vids on YouTube and each driver says in the Cab it sounds great but not much of a growl outside.

Thanks!

 

Benefits to performance zero. Benefits to sound, up to interpretation. I don't think it's worth it

 

Agreed. @FirstTacoma!! If you want a louder exhaust, Gibson would be a better bet. Cheaper too. I have a Gibson on mine and had one on my old Dakota as well.

 

But it does say "TRD" on it.

 

this^^ we already have a nice exhaust at most I'd swap out the muffler....which many
have and many switched right back... including myself. This engine just didn't sound right
with an aftermarket exhaust. I did go with the CAI, which sounds very good both at
idle and @wot it sounds great!

 

pics ? video ?

 

Here's a pic of my TRD exhaust. Not too loud but it is deeper than stock.

 

Did you get the LWB and how do you determine that? THANKS!

 

I'm new here so can you tell me what LWB stands for?

 

Ha.. I think it means Long Wheel Base. On TRDShop.com they are selling 2 versions of it. I can't figure out which one I have either.

 

Oh ok. I'm not sure which one I got. I just told my service rep to put it on. I'll check my invoice and see if it states which one I got.

 

must take a sound clip of it!

 

I took a sound clip of it when I first took delivery and honestly, I couldn't tell a difference from stock. I also recorded it on my iPhone and possibly covered the mic with my fingers so that could be the reason. A week later though, it sounds much better. Could definitely tell a difference when I'm on the highway or just cruising down my neighborhood. It has a nice deep tone, nothing raspy.

 

I played around a lot with the exhaust on my 4.0 gen 2. I came to realize that no matter what you do, its still a V6, it will sound like a V6, and the butt dyno is barely noticeable.

 

Ahh I see. Thinking of getting a Flowmaster 50 series. Heard a clip of one on YouTube and sounded mean on the throttle yet quiet when off it.

 

straight pipes or bust

 

Short bed or long bed

 

I have a short bed

 

youll need the short wheel base then

 

Cheers, thanks again
