Has anyone with aftermarket exhaust got their third gen to sound similar to this?

    Like title states, has anyone with a 2016+ managed to get a sound similar to the attached 3.4 Tacoma video? I actually had one of these back some time ago (getting rid of it was a huge mistake but sold it to a friend and its still going strong with 280k+ last I checked) and this was the exact set up I had on it (no cold air intake, just a single in/dual out 40 series delta flow flowmaster with 2.5 inch piping after the muffler.) It did have a slight drone on the highway (nothing the radio couldn't cover it) but one thing it always got compliments on was the idle. It wasn't a V8 sound by any means but it has a really good rumble just like the one in the video.

    I've watched SEVERAL videos of the 3.5 idling and have yet to find one that has that rumble (there's even one with dual flowmaster 40 delta but I wasnt as impressed with it compared to the 3.4.) If anyone does have one, could you shoot a video of it at both idle and take off?

    I know it's a completely different motor and there are other exhausts that sound good (wanting to stick with flowmaster I believe) but this is the specific sound that I want if possible. Maybe its sentimental in a way because I had alot of good memories in that truck but I needed more interior space at that time in my life.

    Thanks guys and gals for any help and look forward to the journey. I said it about my last one but this go around I got the double cab and I'm keeping this thing till the wheels fall off!

    I think the sound you're looking for isn't going to come from the exhaust, the rumble you want comes from the engine and how it runs in general

    Thanks for response. Sadly that may be it because this engine does seem to have a smoother idle than the 3.4 did. Was just hoping I could replicate it with one of flowmasters mufflers.

    I have a Magnaflow on mine and it has a nice growl to it when it idles.
