    Mine has JBA long tubes, MBPR dual outlet catback, and a Dynomax super turbo muffler. I didn’t do any of this, it was already installed when I bought it, but I do like it though.

    I’m happy with the TRD exhaust, it’s expensive, but it came on my truck I don’t know if I’d shell out the cash for it, shipping is a killer. It sounds good though... subtle.

    The best aftermarket exhaust in terms of performance has more or less been proven to be URD's spec U exhaust, it also sounds pretty good from what I've seen.

    I have DT long tube headers, and an FJ cruiser TRD exhaust, was $75 on Craigslist worth chopping to make it fit.

    I've gotten compliments on it which I never expected, I personally don't think it's too much louder or deeper than stock, it sounds to me like a good stock exhaust rather than a loud droneing rumbly aftermarket.

    Course I also thought the stock taco exhaust sounded like a Prius... :rolleyes:

    Meh I dunno, Loaded down with armour, 33's lights etc I've hit 20.1 before. Stock and empty I can see getting 23 under the right circumstances.

    They say it so casually in the video though. I don't doubt if you drove just right you might be able to get 22 or so, but a better casual number to throw out there would be "17" I think, based on actual driving.

    True enough. I usually hover around 17-18.

    I have the TRD exhaust too, and like you it was already on the truck when I bought it. I like it a lot. For normal driving it's just a soft throaty sound, probably just enough to tell it isn't the stock system. But if you really stand on it, it get's loud. Like when I go to pass someone on a 2-lane and really get into it the thing screams. I would recommend it.

    Any aftermarket exhaust will sound like SHIT on your truck.

    I just installed a flowmaster 50 series on my V6 4.0L, I'd definitely recommend it. Not to pricy and gives it a nice deep tone. Not to obnoxious or ricey tho

    I have a Flowmaster 40 with an electric dump before the muffler. When I want it extra loud I just push button. I still love the sound of the Flowmaster on it and it sound greal for a V6 in my opinion
