Exhaust choice? Magnaflow vs. MBRP

Magnaflow vs. MBRP? Looks like Magnaflow has higher quality steel, but I like the black coating on the MBRP. Also looks like the MBRP is a good bit cheaper. Anybody using the MBRP?

 

Black widow exhaust!

 

Had the aluminized bedside exit version of the MBRP on for a week then I took it off. The sound in the cab was so loud when the rpms were anywhere from 1500-3000k and would drone pretty bad going 65mph in 6th. Probably going to get the Borla S instead.

 

Any exhaust we put on is almost going to cause some level of drone.
I am wondering if anyone has attempted or willing to to mess around with adding some resonators instead. Do a muffler delete and add a resonator or add an aftermarket exhaust followed by a mild resonator. It might take some research and I'd be happy to do it but I don't have a garage with lift, welding etc. I am pretty sure there might be a resonator out there which will help us get a sporty muffler with minimal drone.

 

MBRP here.
Drone city. No bueno for my El Taco. I’m sure it’s fine for most I just feel it’s too loud and droney. Maybe I’ll cut out the muffler and put a magnaflo in. TRD maybe.

 

I had the

$890 Magnaflow 19291 : Cat-Back, Street Series, For 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma 3.5L, 73.7" Bed Length, Extended Cab, 60.5" Bed Length, Crew Cab, Single Passenger Side Rear Exit

Magnaflow 19291 kit on my 2016 Tacoma and I have the the Flowaster 817719 on my 2017 Tacoma. Between the two, the Flowmaster is the one that got the in-cab noise right (perhaps since it is dual exhaust?). The Magnaflow droned in the cab so bad it made me crazy. You couldn't even hold a conversation with the person in the passenger seat while driving around town.

 

Took my magnaflow off after one week. My aftermarket stereo i spent lots of money on could no longer be heard.

 

So, you are so unhappy with the MBRP you are really gonna replace with something else??

 

Did you buy something else? Or go back to stock?

 

I had magnaflow on my gen 2 and really liked it....yours is so loud it kills your stereo??

 

Stock

 

Yup got amp running speakers pretty nice sound i get and couldnt hear them hardly at all. Sucked balls so i had to tske it off no choice. I just want to find a very low rumble

 

I'll be honest I might go back to stock. I just finished installing some pretty decent audio on all the corners and sound deadening on all the doors. The MBRP is still pretty evident.

 

I got the Borla. I'm happy. Slightly louder than stock, definitely deeper than stock and no drone.

 

I am pretty sure the TRD Pro exhaust = Borla

 

Thanks for all the advice on this! I will now most likely go with the TRD....going to check out the Borla first though.

 

Flowmaster super 44 sounds amazing on these trucks

 

I wish I had gone borla I had one on my 2015 it was perfect! I’m not overly thrilled with the magnaflow on my 2016. It’s a bit too loud and it’s already rusting. The borla seemed to be better quality and got the sound right. You pay a bit more but I wish I had gone that route.

 

I looked at Summit Racing and didn't see one for the 2017 Taco. Where did you buy yours?

 

I got it off Amazon I believe. Don’t quote me but I’d think the 2017 and 2016 are exactly the same.
