    Just wondering from those that may have it if it's worth it?
    Thanks

    Yes, makes me smile everytime I want too hear it and nice and quiet while cruising along. I have mine paired with the Trd cai, gonna miss the sounds when I get the new Tundra.

    I like mine. As others have stated, performance improvements are miniscule and I'm thinking the cool sound, which is very evident, causes extra throttle resulting in less MPG. Still, I don't regret installing this exhaust.

    I had a black-chrome one put on my all-black TRD Pro when I first bought it. Looks much better (my opinion) than the stock exhaust, and sounds much better, too. No regrets.

    I personally love my trd pro exhaust. It has the perfect sound for me and great looks. I found mine on FB market for $200! so just keep an eye out!

    Worth it? I find mods that actually improve the Taco worth it.

    I have it and could really go either way. If I could go back and do it again, I probably wouldn't get it. As others have stated, it's only for sound, and I stopped noticing it after the first few weeks driving. The money would have been better spent elsewhere.

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    The TRD Performance Exhaust is all stainless steel. I want it first for durability and second for the sound.
    Had from day one on my '06 TRD OR AC. Only issue ever experienced was a gasket at the header that leaked.
    Ordered my '21 TRD OR AC with it as well. Only time will tell if it will also survive 15 years on New England's roads.

    Yes, VERY PLEASED with mine. Looks great, has a deep high performance tone that gives the illusion of more power even though it doesn't and it should last practically forever considering it's all stainless steel construction.

    I like the look and sound of mine with the manual transmission. It makes it more fun to rip it since the truck isn't going anywhere fast so at least it sounds good. Hearing the revs helps with shift points without looking at the dash too.

    I’m happy with mine but probably wouldn’t have purchased if had to pay full price.
