    Installed my new exhaust yesterday and it sounds great
    I'm very happy! My taco doesn't sound like a sewing machine!
    I love it

    Ok, New exhaust is great. Nice throaty sound. Plus added a few mph too.

    Your post is pretty vague

    We don't know the year of your truck or the products you bought and installed

    Not sure what's meant by 'picked up a few MPH'. The vehicle is gear limited, so not understanding how mph would change from a muffler swap?

    Normally this type post is made in the forum for the vehicles generation so it's easier for others with similar to find, as opposed to general talk. You might be onto something the world needs to know.

    I installed a Carven muffler on my V6 and it made a big (not huge) difference. But I was still looking for a deeper throatier sound. So I found a cut back exhaust (Amazon) unit that is installed between the Cat converter and the muffler. With a push on the remote fob, you can switch back and forth from the muffler to NO muffler. It sounds great, and it's actually quieter than sounds from crotch rockets, harley's and some street performance vehicles. What I like about the amazon unit is that it has two butterfly valves that completely closes off the exhaust to the muffler when the bypass is selected, and vice versa, others I saw have only one valve that just opens/closes the bypass and does not close off the muffler.
    It sounds best at lower speeds (<40 mph) and medium acceleration.
    At highway speeds I engage the muffler to tone things down a bit for music and conversations
