TRD cat back actually Borla?

Hi all.
Was talking to a fellow Tacoma owner in the South Lake Union neighborhood in Seattle complementing his rig and asking questions about it.
When i asked if his exhaust was a TRD catback he said, "No same thing though; it's a Borla. My cousin works as a Toyota tech and said TRD just stamps their logo onto a Borla system".
So..anyone know if this is true or not?

 

for the 95-04 tacomas it was borla

for the 05+ tacomas it's a bosal muffler.

 

aah ok. seems like TRD doesn't actually engineer their own stuff, but contracts other companies to let them stamp their logo onto pre-existing systems and components

 

More than likely, they use existing technology from a selected manufacturer with their own specifications.

 

98% of most vehicle manufacturers do this. Welcome to contracting.

 

It was the same way with my subaru and SPT (subaru performance tuning). My SPT catback was a bosal, just like the TRD catback is.

 

i have a 08 tss and i have a borla system. not catback. BORLA.

 

is the TRD SC outsourced? Im curious now.

 

My 09 Texas Edition is the same as the TSS. Came with the Borla K&N type washable air filter. It also comes with 20in wheels.

 

magnuson makes the TRD superchargers.
