Nice Tacoma

 

Hello,
I am very interested in your setup. However, my cousin has redone his exhaust in his dodge and it is so load, you can hardly hear yourself think. How loud is yours? I dont want it that loud, I would just like it to be a little "meaner" sounding.

 

The 3rd Gen TRD exhaust was designed as a "performance" oriented exhaust rather than a 'noise maker'. The exhaust is a deeper, "meaner" sound, especially under throttle and especially for the manual-trans, who spend more time in higher revs (thus where the exhaust is best heard). It does not drone at speed, nor does it produce annoying vibration.

For many, the stigma and perception of exhaust systems came in 4cylinder or "tuner" applications where there seemed to be two distinct category of exhausts that either produced the "performance or mean" sound, or the category that produced the buzzy, "riced out" and annoying tones that elicited reactions of "cheapness" or "tacky" sound yields. The Toyota TRD exhaust err's conservative, and falls under the "performance" sounding side of this split.

The TRD decibel rating (95)

The " www.trdusa.com " website is a good resource for all TRD parts knowledge.

 

Pulled the Toyota Logo out of the TRD-OR factory spec wheels. Flat-head screw driver pops them right out. Logos are a simple clip in/out. Still think these wheels have potential. light-weight, and they look cooler than any other factory Toyoa truck wheels They have ever produced.

Sick truck. Thanks for sharing those exhaust videos, was having a hard time finding some but finally found your build. I've been on the fence about getting trd pro exhaust or another aftermarket brand. Thanks for the help. Did you pick up your exhaust from TRDUSA.com?

 

Great looking rig
