    The Tacoma crowd is usually better to talk engine and exhaust stuff with.
    When that stuff comes up in the 4Runner crowd, it usually comes back to “get the V8, problem solved”

    I’ve always liked having a little extra rumble to the exhaust, something where you can definitely tell it’s not stock, but not being too loud either.

    I initially went with just the Gibson cat back exhaust. When everything else was stock and this was it, I liked it, but didn’t love it.
    Then I added URD headers and a 12” Vibrant resonator right before the muffler to minimize any raspiness the headers have been known to create.

    This brought the noise level up a notch and it’s just not my style. It’s louder than I want, and the drone is too much. When I’m cruising around at 40mph or so and the RPM’s are around 1100-1200 it’s just annoying.

    So... the headers and resonator are staying on, but I’d like to replace the muffler to change up the sound a bit and make it a little less aggressive.

    What muffler have others gone with that also have LT headers? What else do others have that they like and would be considered less aggressive than the Gibson?

    When I was first looking at exhaust, I was really liking the Magnaflow setup on a Tacoma, just not sure how that’ll work with the headers. This is the sound I’d like to have and I’m leaning towards this muffler to go with my current setup.

    I like my JBA, nice deep sound but not too loud.

    Headers didn’t change my sound at all

    My cold air is intake actually changed my sound more than anything.
