Exhaust Re-route recommendation OC area

Just got mine done this morning at Plaza Muffler and Hitch. Called ahead, showed up, drove the truck onto the rack, and 30-40 minutes later, they were done, really straight forward and affordable.

 

Did they use same diameter piping for yours? Does it change the exhaust note much?

 

That looks very clean

 

Did they match diameter for yours?

I also went to Carl at:
Plaza Muffler & Trailer Hitches
125 N Pixley St
Orange CA
Charged $100 for the exhaust reroute and $60 to install the Borla Pro XS (40358) 14”. Great service and great prices! Would highly recommend. I used to go to the muffler man in Placentia but his prices are so high and the line for service is way longer…I was in and out.

 

any pictures?

 

Finally got it done at Plaza Muffler! I love his confidence and worked quickly. Used the shield to protect the 4x4 actuator.

 

Looks awesome, might need to do this soon

 

Short bed? I see the re-routes either loop back around the front like this, or curve back towards the rear.

 

6 ft bed.

 

same diameter and I have not noticed any difference in tone.

 

Hey guys I have the same exact question but for San Bernardino/ Rancho Cucamonga area,

Also I am sure prices have gone up in the last couple of years so what are people charging these days?

 

curious to know the same. Last place I heard from said $300 in SD.

seems like a lot.

to put it in perspective, couple years ago in another state I paid $60 labor for a resonator to be welded on (provided the part)

 

Got mine done at Plaza Muffler in Orange back in Nov 2023, paid $120 cash! Quick n easy, in and out in about an hour.

 

good to know thanks.

what did you tell them you wanted?
“Hey man can you please make this higher, same pipe diameter, so I can fit a skid? But not to where it’s touching and melting things”

last guy I talked to claimed he’s gonna do all this other good stuff, like a collector merge to improve flow, as well as tuck and relocate other parts higher and out of the way for off roading

which I understand. Extra work and materials costs more. May or may not be needed. Could be useful and cheaper than new aftermarket.
Just a little more than simply “I’m trying to fit a trans skid to prevent cat theft” which is at least one of my goals. Flat skid, not the protruding hump one, requiring reroute like most folks doing it.

 

I called beforehand and just said I'm looking for an exhaust reroute on my Taco for skids. He knew exactly what to do, does reroutes on tacos pretty regularly. Used same diameter pipe without me mentioning anything. Easy guys to work with

 

Going to save Plaza Muffler for mine. Had a Black Widow muffler installed a local shop and didn't quite like how it turned out. This time around, id like to go with a side exit. I am only a prerunner so I hope its possible. Seen a few Tacoma's with them.
