    Just read through this whole thread. Still debating what to get. Seems a lot of people like the TRD, but fuck they are expensive. I had a FM Super 40 on my Tahoe and loved it. Just worried that might be a little too much for the tacoma

    I have the Borla cat-back system, it was part of the TSS package my truck has. I love it and wouldn't get any other. I heard various clips on here and YouTube. Borla. Do it. What.

    I just got the same setup. I love the sound, and for the price, who can complain.

    Put a TRD on it the day after I bought it...Coming from a 5.0 Mustang with no Cats this is a bit of change to me but I'm learning to like it....just enough rumble and sounds good at startup

    After 2 years with the TRD kit I kind of wished I went another route. Doesn't sound bad and the tip looks great but wish I had something that makes a little more noise. I've thought about swapping in a different muffler but don't really want to hack this thing up for what it cost.

    :D X2. I've never put any mods or work into a previous vehicle. Never really cared. I would rarely even wash cars and spotty maintenance at best. I can't stop adding stuff to my Tacoma and I've been on top of everything when it comes to maintenance.

    I know its a pricey muffler but i think the Aeroturbine 2525 sounds GREAT on the 4.0L Taco. I have access to a free Magnaflow muffler so ill prob try that first, but hoping to get an Aeroturbine someday

    Just installed the Borla cat-back on mine a few weeks ago. It's gotten a little louder over time. Sounds great when I get on it but quite at highway speeds. Got it for a steal on clearance from a local audio shop!

    100 times better than stock.. nice low grumble, nothing obnoxious. Sounds great when you get on it, and has a nice low tone at lower RPM's around town.
