Exhaust Popularity Poll.. TRD, Magnaflow, FlowMaster

and for all of you contemplating getting the TRD, its pointless. its basicly the same pipe as stock, and they use the same tech as magnaflow. save the money and just get a magnaflow muff and get a weld on tip, save the money for something more productive like gas for offroading.

 

this is exactly what i'm looking for, dont like the drone noise in the cab while cruising on the freeway.

 

Stay stock!

Stock>super 44>wicked flow 13

 

Ive relized our small displacement V6s don't sound that great. My buddy at school has a ZR2 S10 with the 4.3, he thinks it has a flowmaster 40 on it, it sounds so sexy. I swear it sounds just like a V8 when he starts it up and a lower rpm.

Wish mine sounded that good

for old time sake.....memories of brapppppp

 

Magnaflow Magnapack FTMFW!

 

AeroTurbine. Keeps sounding better and better as it breaks in, even 2 years later.

 

The install is simple. It can be annoying trying to get it under the truck TAPE UP THE TAIL PIPE! Or you will scratch the shit out of the TRD exhaust and your paint. And tape the tail pipe of your old exhaust before you take it out. I would say it took 45 minutes to install.

 

I picked up a TRD Cat-back on craigslist for $40! The install was simple and it's got a nice sound. Nothing too loud, just enough to hear it when you step on it.

 

Anybody try this muffler? Thinking of splitting my y pipe into it...

 

Here are the installation instructions from the forum that I used to put mine on.

Magnaflow 18" muffler with stock piping. I plan to get an oval tip on it.

Sound is nice and deep, exactly what I was hoping for. 500 miles later and it's much deeper and a bit louder than when I first installed it. Gets better every time I drive. I love the growl I get on start up.

 

Aero Turbine 2525XL

 

Glad to hear it gets a little louder once it breaks in, I was slightly disappointed when I first fired it up. Is yours the offset in, center out?

 

I'm going down the same road. A Magnaflow muffler will be here in a few days. The mandrel bent stock pipes are plenty big enough for the slow turning 2.7. Should sound really neato with the header.

 

Sorry I didnt see this before. Mine is center in offset out.


A month after install I cant even remember how my truck was stock. The Magnaflow sounds soo good without drawing too much attention. If I could do it over again Id do it the same way.

I welded in an Aeroturbine 2525 in place of the stock muffler and dumped it before the axle. It's been on for about a year now. I love the sound. No drone. You hear the exhaust note when you're cruising a little, but put your foot down and it sounds mean!

 

I love the stainless that is magnaflow along with their sound. I've always loved flowmaster 40s. But i'll probably end up with a TRD because of powertrain warranties.

 

Got my shit stock.... I like it a lot. Sounds good. And when u can hold the rpms with the stick it sounds pretty sweet. Alot of people seem to like and notice as well.

 

question. Im looking at getting an flow master exhaust but I was wondering if the Cat-back System - Dual Side Exit - American Thunder part # 17432 for the 2012 Tacoma would fit my 2013 Tacoma. The flow master system for the 2013 Tacoma part is #817614. I don't see the reason to pay an extra $100 dollars for a system.
