Long Travel BS Thread

what do you guys reccomend for exhaust... I sound like a Prius and I can’t stand it. Also don’t want a screamer

 

Ok, good to know up front. There's a solution to that, I think add a resistor in line?

Or this: https://www.diodedynamics.com/smarttap-cf18-led-flasher-module.html

 

Add an s/c and let it whine!!! It’s a win win, you get noise and power

 

Spintech and slightly larger pipe behind the muffler.

 

I’ve hear good things about the URD systems if you can run them. They eliminate some of the cats, so depending on emissions restrictions, you may not want to run this. I’ll be installing their y-pipe next week onto my trd catback

 

I have the URD system and have always been pretty happy with it. The Y pipe on mine rubs the transmission cross member which is a little annoying. Gadget told me that it usually has to do with the manifold/header connection being slightly off. Do to the angle and length of the y pipes if it is off by 1/16" at the manifold it can be off by 1/2 - 1" at the y pipe. I still haven't gotten around to messing with it though.

Sound and power are great.

 

I always thought tacomas sound like ricers when they have crazy exhausts on them, is that just me?

 

You’re not the only one

Nothing is the same after you hear raw LS motors at the Mint or similar.

 

Only reason I’m doing the y-pipe is for clearance and because my cats are shot and it’ll get rid of them. Otherwise I like having the trd catback to keep it quiet. Though it could be fun to have a cutout to dump before the muffler for when you’re in the dunes or desert.

 

i love hearing the LS purr everyday driving my car

 

That's a good lookin GTO you have! I got to ride in one of the Beale AFB chase car GTOs one time. Those things will get up and go.

 

thanks!now if only it weighed what a c5 does. cant complain too much though for having 2 extra seats.

 

Personally I think the Borla cat back or the TRD cat back sound the best.
I have the Borla. It’s almost stock at idle, but actually opens up pretty well at WOT. It’s a decently deep town without being raspy or ricey.

 

I have a Flowmaster super 10 and I Love the way it sounds, its loud

 

As far as spare tire mounting goes, where do you guys find the best placement for them? I would think that you would want more weight towards the rear end of the bed but thats just my thought.

 

Any opinions / recommendations on rear wheel spacers in conjunction with TC +2 front? Pretty sure my wheels are stock offset as the rears are tucked well into the fender well and with the bushwackers it looks a little weird, also will be doing bamf relocation when I get the time.

Im leaning towards 1.25'' or 1.5'' but would appreciate input/ thoughts / suggestions.

 

Either of those will be fine. Just preference.

 

Leaning towards the 1.25 as I tow every now and then and have quite a bit of weight back there, so Id imagine its healthier for the bearings to keep things narrow.

 

I had a TRD catback originally but after 250k is finally broke apart. Have a Jones Turbine resonator on there now, sounds almost the same. Deep and not ricey, even higher up
