    Is it Friday already?
    Ladies and gentlemen, we've got ourselves a curious question . . .

    "What would sound better? A single exhaust that connects to all 6 cylinders? Or A true dual exhaust that connects to 3 cylinders each?"

    Obviously, the dual exhaust would aid in more performance (example, 6 people breathing through a straw vs. 3 people breathing through a straw LOL)

    So which one would sound LOUDER? The same? I'm pretty sure the true dual exhaust would sound peppier compared to all 6 connected to one pipe. Anyway, I'll stop talking now

    True dual Black Widow with a variable second Y pipe to X pipe setup. Fully opens at WOT, 7.5 psi. Gives it power when I stomp it and quiets it down to act like a normal Tacoma when the truck is in vacuum.

    Very nice setup!
    What's the exhaust pipe width?

    2.5" post secondary cats all the way through.

    It's overkill for NA setups and may sound differently without a supercharger and if you don't have cam gears.

    What kinda supercharger are you running? I have an exhaust very similar to yours but mine doesn't have an X pipe. 2nd converters fell off mine and 2.25" pipe. I'd love to add some kinda blower to my 06..
