Muffler Questions

Alright so I'm looking to remove the stock sound out of my Tacoma. I've been looking at the Flowmaster 40 series delta flow. I have a question though because I don't know much about exhaust stuff.
- I know you can buy dual pipes but I've heard keeping the single tip is better. Is this true?

- What do adding chrome tips to the pipes do for sound?

- Could i just buy the muffler and keep everything else stock?

- Will i still get the great aggressive sound from just putting a stock muffler in?

- Any other info i need to know before buying?
Thanks

 

Tips do nothing, yes u can have them weld in a muffler only. And it depends on what you consider a "great agressive sound".

I have the aero turbine 2525xl, muffler only, and I like it a lot and get compliments on it all the time.

 

Did you have the Non-Resonated or Resonated? Do you know what the difference in these are?

 

The XL is the resonated version, which I don't think they make anymore, I haven't really followed the muffler market in a while cuz I've had mine for 3 yrs, but I'm pretty sure they still sell the 2525 and then u can buy a seperate resonator.

U might be able to find the XL on ebay or Amazon idk

 

Your V6 will never sound like a V8

 

In my opinion watching videos on YouTube to compare doesn't really do it justice. Everyone has different quality cameras and places the camera in different spots to record, which makes a difference. My best advice is to get on your local thread and try and find ppl with different setups and meet up with them and go for a ride.

 

Have you changed your muffler bearings lately? Makes a huge difference.

 

No i have not. Ive never done anything to the stock muffler

 

I'm kidding, the muffler doesn't have bearings. I have a cherry bomb extreme and its aggressive but does not sound bad at all.

 

Is it extremely loud? Because im looking for loud but not so loud to wear i can barely talk in the interior.

 

Have you recalibrated your exhaust flow sensor in your catalytic convertor?
Gotta do that every 20k miles..

 

I like the Dyno Max Super Turbo myself. Decent sound without the annoyance inside the cab. Stay away from chrome fart tips on the end of the pipe.

 

I have got a few PM's so I figured I would clear this up...

ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAT THERE IS A LARGE METRIC PHILLIPS SIZE SCREW THAT SHOULD BE LOOSENED AND THEN CLEAN OUT WITH A PRESSURE SPRAYER, THEN RETIGHTEN TO 16 FPT. BE SURE TO USE METRIC PHILIPS OR YOU WILL STRIP. THE ONLY OTHER WAY IS A ECU REFLASH, AND GOOD LUCKY GETTING THE DEALER TO DO IT. I learned how to do this on Jesse James Monster Garage, the procedure is called iSOMETRIC dEBURRING iNSTANT oVERHAUL tACTIC.

 

Wut?

 

I got a few PM's about my post in regards to
"Have you recalibrated your exhaust flow sensor in your catalytic convertor?
Gotta do that every 20k miles.."

So I just cleared it up...
