    What kind of truck? The Spintech sound a LOT better on a V8 than they do on a V6. Lots of YouTube videos of Spintech mufflers on V8's. Guttural.

    he just got a 2014, 4.0 and also just bought a lift and tires and wants to slap on a muffler all at the same time. it's hard to find tacomas with mufflers/exhausts where we are to get an accurate feel for sound.

    I appreciate the feedback! Personal question I guess, would you prefer that you got the 9000 over the 6000 or are you happy with the 6k? The 9000 vid did sound a bit deeper than your personal vids...

    Yeah I ordered my Spintech muffler with crossed fingers. Only thing I had to go on was one guy on YouTube with the Spintech 9000 on his Tacoma. I had a Spintech on a Dodge Dakota R/T 5.9L V8 once but that's entirely different.

    It is growing on me. Since nobody else drives it I'm not sure how it really sounds from the outside (i.e. drive by sound). I'd prefer a deeper, less raspy sound personally. And the vids of the 9k definitely sound a little deeper. When I called Spintech they actually suggested the 6k when I tried to order the 9k. They warned me the 9000 was their loudest muffler and that if I wasn't intentionally looking for loud I should go with the 6000.

    i've never heard of spintech, but i'll definitely look into some sound clips. i was kinda liking some of the magnaflows but not too sure which part number exactly.

    Spintech isn't a very well known brand. But it's very popular in the Dakota R/T clubs around the country I guess. That's how I found out about them. And apparently they are used in sprint cars and such.

    he was leaning towards flowmaster super44 which is what i have on my truck, but you can't really compare what it'll sound like considering i have a 2.7l. kinda sounds like mine is rusting from the inside.
