    I've been looking at Tacomas since I was 14 back in 2000, but now that I finally have more than two nickels to rub together I can finally afford one (especially with the current market... prices are depressed!).

    I am going to purchase a Cement 2020 Tacoma SR5 in the next coming days. The sales manager and I are in the final stages of the purchase (I want the black accents, black running boards). I have a lot of questions about the best modifications, particularly the exhaust (is the TRD Exhaust worth it?).

    I'm looking forward to posting pictures, asking questions, and checking out everyone else's Tacomas. Talk to you guys soon!

    Welcome brotha ! Lots of helpful info on this forum. And even better people.

    My personal opinion is no, on the TRD exhaust. Not enough grumble for me!

    Does anyone else have the TRD exhaust? If so, do you like it? If not, what kind of exhaust kit did you buy?
